Hisense tv screensaver

I’d appreciate some advice please. Brand new 50U6NQTUK Hisense tv, which I’m generally pleased with. However, no screensaver settings available. Vidaa Art automatically set itself to 5 mins, source default but no screensaver initiates after 5+ mins. Have contacted Hisense for tech support who helped with a system update but after factory reset and new setup the fault remains. At 75 years old my tech ability is very limited and would be thankful for advice.

    Are there any images to show? There should be a pre-loaded Vidaa Art collection but the app could be looking for a USB device with a library of images

    You may need to accept the vidaa art t&C's there somewhere looking at issues others have had.

    Thanks for your input. I’ve added an image to favourites, whilst signed into my Vidaa account (ie not usb), as per settings below but no screensaver initiates after 5+ mins. (The apparent blank space actually reads Show Art after 5mins - it’s my poor photography)

    Thanks for your help. When setting up the tv I agreed to all the t&c and signed up for a Vidaa account. Hence the smiling face in the top r/h corner of the first photo above. However, still no screensaver 😭

    When you state that there are "no screensaver settings", do you mean that you cannot find any or that there are none?

    Are you doing this via Settings > System > Ambient Mode?

    To enable the screen saver on a Hisense TV, navigate to the settings menu, then to device preferences, and finally select the screen saver option. You can choose from various screen savers like a backdrop, clock, or other options, and set the time interval for it to activate
    You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.

    I cannot find any described as screensaver settings.
    if I go to Settings > System > Advanced settings ( there is no Ambient mode ) > Vidaa Art Setting (which I have an account for) it shows the Art (screensaver) should show after 5mins.
    unfortunately, it doesn’t.

    On this model there is no settings choice called device preferences; only those I have described in response to BFBW.

    My 65UX has the same menu/settings and I cannot get it to work (yet).
