Why is the standby button on my TV flashing?

Note: Many of the 2015 and 2016 TV models show a “pulsing” LED (standby) light when the TV is switched ON. This is intentional behaviour of the TV to indicate that the TV is “loading” (starting up). When the LED light stops pulsing, the TV will be fully functional and can be controlled with the TV remote control.
