The Start Screen option on your 2025 Samsung Smart TV lets you customize the initial screen when your TV is turned on. For example, you can automatically launch Smart Hub Home when turning on the TV, or automatically display Multi View when mirroring or casting from a phone or tablet. If you’ve added an Auto Rotating Accessory to your TV, you can run the Multi View feature when the TV’s screen is rotated to portrait mode.

You can set your Samsung TV to launch the Smart Hub Home screen. If you enable this feature, the Smart Hub Home screen will automatically launch every time you turn on the TV. If you turn off this option, the last used source will appear as the first screen.
