You seem to be unnecessarily abusive . Note you haven't figured out how to even make forum posts without replying to yourself and messing up quotations. 

Please  pay attention to the multiple classes of system messages appearing at the top of the screen. I have designed user interfaces for consumer devices such as these, and I can tell you that the message styles are distinctly different. 

Please also attach a video of yourself eating your hat, as connect/disconnect messages do appear after following your "guaranteed"solution.

MikeWWW You do not need to be in home mode, you go to store mode turn off the messages and then go back to home mode, and the messages are gone for good. Is that too difficult to understand??  Also I am not interested in any alleged HDMI events ,as I did not have any. I am trying to help people who have the constant annoying pop up messages in the top right hand of the screen. 

The fact is the option of turning off the annoying messages,is in the store mode section, and I assume LG put it there so when the TV is on display the distracting and annoying messages don't show and spoil chances of a sale! However the fact is when the option to display or not is turned off in store mode that selection is for the whole TV not just store mode okay?

1. Disguising symptoms doesn't address the underlying problem.

2. Your guaranteed solution doesn't work to hide the connection/reconnection messages.  The store setting probably refers to a different class of messages that appear near the top right hand corner, regarding system updates, license changes etc.

There is no option to turn off messages in Home mode.

It's not just the messages that are the problem. As soon as the Wired Lan Cable disconnected/Connected message appears ( which appears even if you're using WIFI and there is no LAN cable), but there is a subsequent problem with other HDMI connected devices being triggered by this event.

I've had this for months on my LG C9  (OLED55C9PTA).  Frequently when it happens, it also triggers a problem with one of my HDMI-connected devices suddenly failing e.g. AMP drops audio, or my BluRay is "discovered"even though it's turned off. 

I've tried turning off CEC and all the various "magic"device management features with no result. Ethernet and HDMI cables have been replaced.

@dave2336  The TVs have ample memory to store apps and images. I can't conceive of what ethos LG is trying to project with the 1970s era photo choices it has selected for wallpaper.  It's certainly wildly different to the ethos projected by the defaults on their smartphones.

@patrick belanger  Do you mean the background wallpaper that displays when the no signal message is shown?   Wallpapers are static images for decoration - they are not screensavers, so screensaver settings have no effect. 

@Cody k Wallpapers aren't there to protect the screen, that's what screensavers are for. No static image will protect a screen.

@Sylvain Decaux  Transferring from USB to ROM should be straightforward as the photo gallery app allows you to do this. However you can't transfer these to the "Sample Photo" storage where the wallpaper images are stored

Hi Nick

Yes, to the latter, because you already seem to have understood my point.

However in an attempt to be helpful I have done some investigation and found an LG YouTube video that shows how to set up a TV that will not be used for live TV services, the link below should start at the point with the relevant setting:

Hopefully this will be of more use than people whining about features they did not think to ask about before they purchased a product. 

Oh see what I did there!

The video references WebOS v3. Many new TVs are still on WebOS v2 which does not provide those features. I note video comments to the effect that users cannot do as implied in the video and disable the antenna.

I use one of my LG on antenna for locals and an Android box on HTML for other services. My 2nd LG runs only lg apps with no antenna so I had the same annoying noise problem. A simple workaround which I discovered by accident had been previously shared. Switch the input to an unused HDMI port. Then, whenever you start up the tv, you get a brief no input message followed by the homepage wallpaper screen. This may not be a glorious solution but it however eliminates the loud white noise on startup. 

I tried that, but I get a big "No signal found" error message when an unused port is selected.
