Subject:  Greyed Out Menu Options

The menu options you have access to on many Samsung TVs depend upon:

  • The channel you are watching
  • The video source you have selected
  • The screen size you have selected
  • The resolution of the source you have selected
  • The format (analog, digital) of the source you have selected
  • Other menu settings

For any given channel, resolution, screen size, video source, etc., there will almost always be some menu selections that are unavailable.

For example: on many LED TVs

  • If your current source is HDMI, you cannot access the Channel portion of the menu.
  • If you are on any source other than "TV" Closed Caption will be grayed out.
  • If your external device already supports the expanded black level range "HDMI Black Level" will be grayed out.

Menu options or functions that are unavailable are grayed out. If a menu item is grayed out, try changing one or more of the factors above to see if you can un-gray it.

Note: Your user's manual will have information about the menu item and the conditions under which it will be unavailable and grayed out.
