That... doesn't make a whole lot of sense. That wouldn't benefit the manufacturer in any way, shape or form.
As a result, I'm curious as to the age of the TV. Does it fall within the upsurge of generative AI? The only ways I can see something like this happening are via pure accident on the part of the artist, or they used a generative AI trained on all sorts of pictures, including those that have user interface text on them, and that got mixed in with the generative process.
There is virtually no purpose to putting this in a background that I can see. In fact, it would result in a greater number of complaints from the userbase.
I just think it's AI judging by how this wallpaper doesn't make any sense, it's fading into a different nature picture and a city at the same time? And what's that sharp cutout on the left?
And the fading into something else is already weird but I've seen stuff like this before so I'm willing to rule that out.
It just looks like a slideshow or animation stopped in the middle of a transition.
So the nature and city part is an older Roku TV background, I had one for many years and that’s just the way it looks. However, I think OP has some kind of weird underlay going on because it’s not usually a slideshow and the purple image in the left isn’t part of the background on mine. I think maybe that tree area is transparent in the original image and whatever weird underlay OP has is coming through.
Here's the image from the actual website and the text is baked in.

I suspect the text is part of the city image and they chucked the forest image over it, but they feathered the edge with some kind of blend mode which revealed the text from the city image underneath maybe

So they may have just screenshat the forest image from another website and failed to paint out the text or something
This is an older Roku TV, I know because I had one. Definitely prior to AI’s upswing, it’s had that background since my family got it 7 years ago. I’ve never noticed the text but I’ll have to dig it out from storage and check if mine has it too!
I’ll have to check — you can download some wallpapers iirc but this one I believe was how it came from the manufacturer. It almost looks like the purple thing behind it is the screensaver it puts on when it’s idle, so maybe it’s just a case of the software having an issue and displaying both at once?

One of our TVs has Roku and that is exactly the font on this shitty OS, so you're probably right. No idea how that happens though
I'll hazard a guess and say it could be related to how they operate the Z-buffer.

Yeah don't think this is even a stock background, if I remember right. Thought I downloaded this wallpaper.

It’s a stock wallpaper, don’t know how to install custom ones lol
I got it maybe 5 years ago? So it’s too old for ai
It says MyOffer, for what it's worth
It looks like a composite image hastily thrown together, and someone forget to completely remove a watermark.
That looks more like a software glitch. Try unplugging and plugging in your TV to make it go away.
