      Only if its all black. Which obnoxiously LG “updated” their tvs with one that is like white words and fireworks and you can’t turn it off. So even though my pc sets it to an all black screen saver after 2min the stupid LG one starts like another minute later… asinine.

          I did on my PC, but thats the issue. Since the update in July it now does its own screensaver (the fireworks and text) even if the PC’s all black one is already going. There is no way to change it. Maybe in the service menu? But another update I haven’t done yet supposedly blocks you from the service menu even with a service remote…

            It’s probably doing it when it detects no input, which is when windows turns the monitor off and has a black screen. So using an actual screen saver will probably prevent the LG screensaver from starting

      I’m all in. Love a good a screensaver 👌 Polar Clock needs a rebirth. Not a great candidate in the burn in department, but it’s sexy.

      My OLED has burn in, but it’s from using it 8 hours a day for work for the past three years.

      Using a screensaver is a bad idea. The display might not get burn-in, but it will contribute to the degradation of the OLED pixels (They wear down over time)

      Best option is to have a completely black desktop background with no icons (or hidden with something like Fences) and a auto-hide taskbar. All you need to do is hit Winkey + D to toggle between the now blank desktop and whatever you had opened. Just move the mouse cursor off to the right side of the screen and you have a completely unlit screen. There are probably some third party apps floating around that can do this same sort of toggle-able blackscreen as well.
