The store demo mode is a common feature in most smart TVs today. This is a special mode whose purpose is to demonstrate the features of the smart TV device while it is still on display in the store.
If you happen to buy a Hisense smart TV, whether it’d be a Roku, Android or Google TV, that is still in its retail store demo mode, you might have a hard time switching it off once you set it up at home.
