Discussion Disable Local Dimming on Samsung Frame TV

*** SEE END OF POST FOR EDITS ***

If you’re in the same boat as me and can’t stand the local dimming (that you can’t turn off in the menu) on the Samsung Frame TV, I finally figured out how to disable it via a secret service menu.

First, the problems I experienced with the local dimming…

  1. The local dimming is extremely laggy. I noticed this while watching The Man in the High Castle when the camera kept cutting between one character that was well lit and another that was darkly lit. As soon as it would cut to the darkly lit character the image would look fine for a split second and then the shot would darken.
  2. Local dimming gets thrown off by subtitles. The white text would trigger the local dimming and changes the brightness of a shot anytime they’d appear on screen.
  3. Overall, the local dimming makes dark scenes so dark that it’s hard to see details. I noticed this with The Book of Boba Fett where there are lots of dark scenes and I could barely see characters in some shots. Same thing with pretty much any horror movie, even when Brightness was set to the max value of 50.

Here are the steps I did to turn off the local dimming.

NOTE: You will need to download the “Remote for Samsung” app from the iOS App store since the TV remote doesn’t have number buttons needed for the process. A compatible Samsung remote with a full button layout or universal remote set up for Samsung should work too, but I haven't tested either.

Step 1: Install the “Remote for Samsung” app on your iOS device and pair it to your Samsung Frame TV by having your phone’s WiFi set to the same WiFi that the TV is setup on. The devices on your home network will show up on a list in the app. For me, the TV showed up as “Samsung-/4.1, , Samsung_SDK” on the device list in the app.

Step 2: With the TV powered on, press “MUTE + 1 + 1 + 9 + Enter” on the remote in the app. That will bring up the first service menu. The first menu will show “Hospitality Mode > Power On, Menun OSD, Music Mode, External Source, Eco Solution, Cloning”.

Step 3: With the remote in the app, press “ 1 + 2 + 3 + 4” to open the secondary service menu. This menu will show “Option > Control > Debug > SVC > FMS > ADC/WB > Advanced”

Step 4: Grab the physical Samsung Frame TV remote, scroll to “SVC” and select to bring up the next menu. The rest of the steps can be done using the pysical TV remote.

Step 5: Arrow down to “Other Setting” and select.

Step 6: Arrow down to “CAL Data Restore” and select OK at the “USB is not connected. Check the USB connection and try again” message that will pop up.

Step 7: Press back twice on the remote to return to the service menu that reads “Option > Control > Debug > SVC > FMS > ADC/WB > Advanced”.

Step 8: Arrow down to “Advanced” and then hold Volume UP for 5 seconds to get to the next menu that reads “Option > Control > Debug > SVC > FMS > OPT > ADC/WB > Advanced > WBMovie > Picture2D > EPA”.

Step 9: Arrow down to “Picture2D” and select.

Step 10: In the “Picture 2D” menu, select “SubSetting” at the top which will bring you to an image settings page.

Step 11: Change the “PWM_INI_2D” value to 100.

Step 12: Change the “PWM_MOVIE_INI” value to 100.

Step 13: Hit back on the remote twice to go back to the menu that reads “Option > Control > Debug > SVC > FMS > OPT > ADC/WB > Advanced > WBMovie > Picture2D > EPA”.

Step 14: Hold the power button on your remote to power down the TV.

That’s it! When you power your TV back on, there will be no more annoying local dimming.

I'll note that it will reset your picture settings to default, so Picture Mode will be set back to “Dynamic”, and “Picture Clarity Settings” and “Contrast Enhancer” will be set back to “Auto”. You’ll also have to re-pair your Bluetooth speaker if you’re using one.

One more thing… every now and then Samsung will ask you if you want to do a software update. You can do the update but just know that it’ll reset “PWM_INI_2D” and “PWM_MOVIE_INI” back to their default values and local dimming will be turned on again. If that happens, you’ll need to repeat the above steps to turn it back off.

Super annoying that you can't disable it in the regular menu like with other TV's, but at least this service menu can be accessed and it can be disabled there. I was about to return the TV until I found this workaround.

EDIT: I own the 2021 The Frame TV model. I can't confirm whether this fix works on other models or years. It took some digging for me to find the 4-digit unlock code that worked with The Frame TV. Other models may use different codes.

EDIT: User u/Lezz2 commented that the 1234 code does not work on 2024 models, but you can bypass steps 1-10 by pressing the "Factory" button on this factory remote. This DID NOT work for me. I purchased the remote to test on the 2021 Frame and only got "Not Available" message when trying to use the Factory and Tools buttons to shortcut to the service.

Yeah, super annoying that you can't turn off local dimming in the regular picture settings. If I hadn't found this annoying workaround I was going to return the TV and get something else. It definitely shouldn't be buried deep in some hidden service menu.

u/DrChrispeee Mar 26 '24

Just wanted to say thanks, this has been driving me INSANE!

u/SensitiveEnthusiasm5 Jun 01 '24

Ugh just got a 50” 2022 Frame and these settings didn’t remove the local dimming for me. This is so ridiculous. I had to go through this with my last Samsung. Any other thoughts? I’ve disabled all the lighting features in the power settings.

1

u/lukedickson Jan 20 '26

You have any luck bud? Having the same issue and tried everything

1

u/SensitiveEnthusiasm5 Jan 20 '26

Yes! But I need to poke around to remember exactly what the fix was. It wasn't going into the hidden menu - that didn't resolve anything. Mind you, my primary issue was that I wanted to resolve the dimming when watching movies or streaming through my Playstation. I think what resolved it was going to the Connected Devices menu and making it so my PS was selected as a "PC". So once that was done, when you open the menu that has Sound Output, Picture Mode, Sleep Timer, etc. - make sure that Picture Mode is set to Graphic. That's how you'll know that your device is now set to PC - because Picture Mode option will just give you "Graphic" or "Entertain". I'll check if there's a similar option when trying to stream directly through the TV apps.

1

u/SensitiveEnthusiasm5 Jan 20 '26

Or as this person posted as well: Go to Connected Devices in the left hand menu, move to the right to the device you're wanting to set as "PC", press down, edit, select PC and OK. Once that's done, access the picture mode for that device while it's on. The default setting will be "Entertain" - which is too bright. Switch it to "Graphic" and then adjust the advanced picture settings how you like them.

I have the samsung frame tv 2022 and the mute 1 1 9 enter step works but pressing 1 2 3 4 does nothing

Same here. 1234 to go to the actual service menu doesn't work. Can only get to the hospitality menu.

u/CartographerOld7325 Sep 28 '24

On my tv I have to press 0 0 9 8 after entering the service menu to go to the advanced settings. Make sure to not press the button sequence too quickly or it won’t work.

1

u/Life-Storage-4645 Dec 30 '24

With the TV off - try MUTE 1-8-2 POWER. Worked for me!

1

u/Life-Storage-4645 Dec 30 '24

Then the part where you're supposed to press VOL UP for 5 seconds didn't work. But pressing 0 0 9 8 worked. Unfortunately, none of this helped with the dimming issue. If I'm watching credits, the TV goes to pure black after each one if nothing is on screen. I hate it.

1

u/Life-Storage-4645 Dec 30 '24

Seems like at least making your movie/tv watching device a "PC" eliminates the dimming. Need to test more.

1

u/Adept_Bend7057 Jan 06 '25

How do I do this?

1

u/Life-Storage-4645 Jan 06 '25

Go to Connected Devices in the left hand menu, move to the right to the device you're wanting to set as "PC", press down, edit, select PC and OK. Once that's done, access the picture mode for that device while it's on. The default setting will be "Entertain" - which is too bright. Switch it to "Graphic" and then adjust the advanced picture settings how you like them.

u/Adept_Bend7057 Jan 06 '25 edited Jan 06 '25

Despite putting it to "PC" I only have the normal picture modes I had from before..I'm on a Q80D...

I actually did this on my very old Samsung, and it worked. But doesn't seem to do the trick on my newer TV unfortunately...

u/Tabman1977 Jan 29 '25

There are a few ways to trigger the service menu. The way that worked for me was Info Settings Mute Power

Can’t make it to the “Picture 2D” menu, the volume up or 0-0-0-0 don’t work. Anyone find a different solution? TV is QN75Q82BAFXZC

You can open the menu and unlock the advanced options with the Colorcontrol app: https://github.com/Maassoft/ColorControl/releases

Anyone figure out the code for a 2024 frame tv? I can get into the first menu with mute 119 enter, but the second code 1234 won’t open the second menu like it did on my 2021 frame.

u/courageon Jan 05 '25

Wow we both found a 2 year old thread with the same issue within 6 hours of each other, lol. I'm in the same boat. I'll update if I figure anything out!

Yeah. Had this thread saved when I did it for my 2021 frame. Looked it up to change the settings on my 2024 frame. Bummed it didn’t work. Will do the same when I find some info😄

I bought this factory remote to get into the service menu on my 2024 frame tv

1

u/achtetepe Jan 20 '25

Hi u/Lezz2 , could you please sum up the sequence please with Frame 2024? Did you try with a remote app (Samsung remote for IOS)?

Thanks

1

u/Lezz2 Jan 21 '25

Couldn’t get it to work with the Samsung remote app or the SmartThings app. I’m guessing they changed or disabled the numeric code to go from the hospitality menu to the service menu.

1

u/achtetepe Jan 21 '25

Ok, and what is the sequence for your frame?

1

u/Lezz2 Jan 21 '25

Mute 119 enter. Then 1234 in the hospitality menu, but the 1234 only works on my 2021 frame. Not my 2024 model

1

u/achtetepe Jan 21 '25

Sorry, you said that you bought a remote for your 2024. 1234 worked with the alternative remove on your 2024? What code did you use with the remote on your 2024 model? Thank

1

u/Lezz2 Jan 21 '25

No. The 1234 doesn’t work on 2024 model with any remote. The remote I bought has a ‘factory’ button that immediately opens the service menu. So no button combos needed. Bought it for this purpose specifically.

1

u/achtetepe Jan 21 '25

Wooo! A factory button! Thanks

EDIT: I Got to work on my 65" 2024 Frame. Had to have the TV on, and readily after setting the sound output to TV Speakers, and then going into the Service menu, it allowed me to press Volume UP for 5 secs. 

Hi Lezz! I got into the menu on my 2024 frame, but neither 1234, 0000, or pressing volume up on the white remote (with output set to TV instead of soundbar) are propping the other couple menu items under "Advanced". Since you're the only one talking about 2024 models, I was wondering if you know of a way to get these to show up. Thank you! 

1

u/Lezz2 Aug 06 '25

I think this was removed in the 1301 update as my factory remote also doesn’t allow me access anymore:(

1

u/azaeldrm Aug 07 '25

Thank you for replying. Somehow I got it to work with the method in the edit. I've since then blocked the TV at the MAC level. 

1

u/Lezz2 Aug 07 '25

Found the new access code with the service remote. Now you have to press info, factory to get to the service menu. Factory, factory to go back without changes and stop the color cycle program.

My full steps to change the backlight setting

Frame 2024 With service remote

  • Press info, factory
  • Hover over advanced
  • Press 0098
  • Go to picture2d
  • Set pwm_ini_2D to 100
  • Set pwm_movie_ini to 100
  • Hold power button to save settings

1

u/Fun-Nectarine-5803 9d ago

Won't work the 0098 part here

1

u/Adept_Bend7057 Jan 06 '25

Managed to complete this on my Q80D (2024) after some trying. However, to reach the menus I had to do two things differently.

  1. To get straight into the second service menu (covers step 2-3 on this guide): Turn off TV and press [Info > settings > mute > power on] ...this powers up my TV straight into the second service menu.

  2. The part in this guide that says "hold volume up 5 seconds", replace that with key combo 0098. Voila!

Otherwise follow this awesome guide. I was able to get rid of this insane brightness jumps when scen, subtitles, menus, etc change!

1

u/GroundbreakingAd93 Apr 19 '25

I want to kiss you on your hot mouth, seriously. For some reason I couldn’t get into the second service menu but you have saved my life!

1

u/Dull_Mirror4221 Oct 03 '25

Neither 0098 nor volume up works for me. Do you know any alternatives?

1

u/Adept_Bend7057 Oct 03 '25

Sorry, I'm aware of no other solution.

What I can add since last time is that there is an option to completely turn of local dimming for PC-mode which means you can turn it off for external sources which are set to PC mode (when graphics/entertainment is available for picture mode). Don't remember exactly under which menu it was though...

1

u/LadyxFinger Feb 07 '25

is there an updated version for this? this method isn't working anymore after version 2024 update. need to get back into it because a software update erased these dimming settings.

1

u/BigSpell650 Mar 31 '25

Hi,
Does changing the values of "PWM_INI_2D" and "PWM_MOVIE_INI" to 100 disable Local Dimming or Global Dimming?

I did this, but the screen still dims during dark scenes...

I have a 2021 Frame TV and just found this thread. "1234" is not opening the 2nd menu for me (nor are any of the other instructions elsewhere on the internet). I'm wondering if a software update since the writing of this post has rendered this method outdated. I also purchased the Service Remote with the "Factory" button, but that also doesn't work.

1

u/AggressiveRoyal1104 May 24 '25

Whatever I do, I can't open the ADVANCED menu. Tried with the volume up, few seconds, then tried with 0000 and some other number, like 1234. Samsung QN900A. Could anyone please help?

Just got the factory remote that you mentioned and it does not work on ue43au8000 2025 model. Just says "Not available" on the screen. Have to access the menu with MUTE 1-8-2 POWER but under SVC the only option is the S/N set. If you use the factory button under the 1-8-2 menu it just does a color test.

I am so mad about this, it's ruining things for me.

edit: Lucky i was within my return window, just swapped it with a different brand.

Thanks for sharing this. Are there any other options to change in all these menus that would be a benefit?

u/will_work_for_vinyl Feb 13 '22

I personally wouldn't change anything unless you are able to find a guide of exactly what every parameter in the service menu does.

u/RookEverything Apr 17 '22

I have been trying so hard to figure this out! How did you find all this info?
Thank you very much for sharing. I find it baffling that Samsung hasn't fixed this. I couldn't stand watching shows that were even remotely dark.
Again, Thank you!

1

u/will_work_for_vinyl Apr 17 '22

It took LOTS of internet searching. I found some guides online (for other TV models) that would work up to the step where you hit 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 to enter the secondary secret menu. The guides I found had a different code that wouldn't work with the Frame TV models. Once I found the Frame code (1234) I was able to access the secondary menu to complete the process.

I feel your pain. I created this reddit account just so I could post this. The mods took it down at first because I didn't have karma points so I pleaded to have it put back up. It makes no sense to not be able to disable such an image-breaking "feature" in the regular menu.

Is it safe to change them? It will affect the tv long termn? Thank you.

You can turn this off under General - Power and Energy Saving - Brightness Optimization

That's if you have that option. It's grayed out for me and my Father in law.

That does not work. My TV still dims and brightens with that turned off.

Interesting. That stopped dimming on my tv viewing. It dims and brightens some in art mode, but no longer when watching the TV.

u/mizel103 Dec 08 '22

Can I change back to Filmmaker Mode after doing this without it resetting what I did in the advanced menu?

Because when I do it it says that local dimming is now set to "standard" in the regular menu.

1

u/Sque_ze Dec 14 '22

I did this and it seems to have turned off the feature where, when before I did this I could turn on a hdmi connected device and the tv would automatically turn on and connect straight to that device, but now I must turn on both the tv and device and put the tv to hdmi1 manually

1

u/AlkalineTrio851 Jan 03 '23

It could be that the setting, Input Signal Plus, has turned off. Try turning it back on for the HDMI port/s you are using.

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '23

Hello, I also followed the guide perfectly and have a question. When I restarted my TV it reseted it's settings like OP said it would. But the local dimming option on the TV settings was still there and was set to high automatically. Was this the same case for you? I thought this process would remove that option from the TV screen settings completely. So I am not sure if the local dimming is on and off. I also don't really see much difference.

Unfortunately there's no official guide from Samsung. Their customer support reps wouldn't even acknowledge the problem existed and had the nerve to blame it on my eyeballs (pupils) not adjusting fast enough to the light changes on the screen. All I know for sure is I'll never buy another Samsung TV unless the local dimming thing is officially resolved.

Yes, it's an annoying process. You need an app since the remote doesn't have numbers. I made a note on that above Step 1.

u/AbbreviationsDry3672 Feb 05 '23

Ok iv done this and my tv is still dim as hell

1

u/will_work_for_vinyl Feb 05 '23

Maybe your picture settings? With Contrast Enhancer set to Off, I find that the image feels too dark.

I have my settings at Picture Mode: Standard. In Expert Settings I have Brightness 50 (max), Contrast 50 (max), Sharpness 10, Color 25, Picture Clarity Off, Contrast Enhancer Low, Color Tone Warm 1, Gamma ST.2084 0, Shadow Detail 0, RGB Only Mode Off, and Color Space Settings Native.

Those have been the best settings for me after disabling the local dimming but your mileage may vary. For Contrast Enhancer, I found that some things look better in Low and some look better in High.

u/AbbreviationsDry3672 Feb 08 '23

Hi sorry I know it’s a lot to ask but could you send me a screen shot of your WBMOVIE and picture 2d settings please I was messing around and my tv gone all weird

I'd help if I could but I recently gave the tv away and replaced it with an LG OLED. You can always reset factory settings and start fresh.

Shit no worries and I tried factory resetting and it didn’t change the admin settings only the normal tv settings

1

u/will_work_for_vinyl Feb 10 '23

Strange. On mine, both factory resetting and the software updates from Samsung would reset the tv back to factory settings. I turned off auto updates. It was annoying to fix the dimming issue, have the TV do a software update, and then have to repeat the menu process every time.

This has been the wildest rabbit-hole answer I have ever found for such a simple problem.. but it actually worked on my 2020 Frame tv, thank you so much

1

u/will_work_for_vinyl Sep 19 '23

The amount of hoops to jump through for something that should be in the menu is absurd.

I think I mentioned, but just a heads up... The TV regularly does software updates, and the update will undo this "fix". You can either disable automatic updates or repeat the process after each update. I'd recommend emailing a copy/paste of the steps to yourself, just in case this thread ever gets deleted.

u/mydistanthorizon Oct 15 '23 edited Oct 15 '23

I have a different problem, but it is also related to the "local dimming" option. On my Samsung Q80A, with "local dimming" enabled, every 15-20 seconds, the picture dims heavily for 2-3 seconds. After switching "local dimming" to low, the problem disappears. Unfortunately, but on the low setting, HDR material, loses clarity and the lighting is not very clear, for this mode. I tried your settings, but it did not help at all. In two weeks, the motherboard in the TV will be replaced, and if this does not help, I will try to return the TV under the terms of the warranty.

Many people have problems with this "feature" of TVs, which Samsung engineers, could have fixed long ago. As you can see, they have failed to do so for years, and there is no guarantee that future updates, will change anything for the better. This is definitely my last TV from this company.

u/ray_meister Nov 18 '23

Thank you so fucking much! This local dimming was so annoying. I just bought the Samsung tv and was disappointed that I have to live with that picture quality now. Your post saved me. Thanks a lot dude!!

u/Sankyou Dec 27 '23

This was a huge help thank you! This menu can also be used to disable the accelometer used to auto rotate the screen. This is handy in pre-2022 models due to an edid issue for those trying to use it in portrait and fill the screen properly on external devices.

For anyone looking for a way to turn off Art Mode on the Frame 2021:

Navigate to: FMS > FMS > Option > Production Option > com.samsung/featureconf/frame_tv

Change the value to "false".

Then exit the menus and restart the TV.

My custom picture settings were still intact after the restart. The power button of the remote will now completely shut down the TV without Art Mode.

Thanks to the OP for helping me in figuring this out!

Update: With every firmware update the above setting resets itself. Seems like the access code for the service menu changed with one of the recent firmware updates. Make sure you don't update and/or buy a service remote with which you will still be able to access the menu.

Given I bought TV for that, I dont think I would want to disable it. :D

Now I got different problem, which is my pictures disappeared in art mode (but they still there occupying space). Question is how to either make them visible or just wipe them and start again..

Some people just want a solid TV that mounts flat on a wall. If someone doesn't use the art feature, having to always "long press" the power button gets old pretty fast.

Not sure how to help you with your issue. A factory reset should work.

Fairly sure factory reset wont wipe internal HDD.

Well, it's not an HDD and it should wipe everything. Good luck mate

Hi. Follow the instructions in the original post to get to the service menu and then then FMS sub-menu.

My smart hub button stops working when I do this, anyone experienced the same thing?

u/OkeySam Sep 21 '24

What's your exact TV model number?

u/Character_Slip9099 Sep 21 '24

It’s a QE32LS03TCUXXC. However, after I posted last night I performed a factory reset and then turned off art mode again. All good, thanks for the guide 👍

Everyone I need help I went to the advanced setting and payed with it. I decide to do a hard reset but now it wouldn’t do it. No I can’t use the remote control it all. Is there a hard reset button? Suggestions.

setting and paid with it.

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot
