Why does the power cord on my new Samsung Samart TV detach?

I have my television on a rotating "lazy susan" to view from different angles. The power cord is not permanently attached as usual with electronics. Why is that?

Doesn't seem unusual. i always thought it was standard for most flat screens. I even discovered using an aftermarket power cord can improve the picture quality.YMMV

My new LG OLED TV's PC is captive so it might be because they don't draw much power compared to LED and Plasma TVs. The picture is great so no complaints here. All the best, Nonoise

You are supposed to use an aftermarket cord that's rated for that. Not everyone does however.
