Hardware G-Sync was the other deciding factor. It doesn’t seem like I’ve got any image degradation so far, luckily. I’m pretty careful to turn it off whenever it’s not in use (it will turn itself off when inactive for 5 mins though). Also, it auto-dims after a few minutes if the image is static. I think I’ll just live with the audio inconvenience, it’s a fairly minor thing after all. EDIT: almost forgot - thanks for all inputs!

I've clocked up 10246 hours on my 3 year old OLED48CX with no problems so far. I don't use any of the built in protections like pixel shifting or screen dimming as they're a nuisance on a PC monitor. But I do use the Windows black out screensaver. I've got the shortcut mapped to a Stream Deck key and am in the habit of pressing it whenever I leave the room.

I've got the shortcut mapped to a Stream Deck key and am in the habit of pressing it whenever I leave the room. I think that might actually be the best solution. It's a bit funny as in a way it's like going back to the beginning of my PC journey. I don't have a stream deck, and I don't think Win11 have any screensaver, but I'll find a way so that I can disable the OLED auto-standby function. Btw I found a way to tweak Chrome to always stay in dark mode - even Avsim 🙂 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5
April 7, 20242 yr Make a shortcut to screensaver in Win 11 using this "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\scrnsave.scr". Screen saver options can be adjusted in control panel.

Does your TV has an option to turn off the display only and keep the TV running? At least some LG models have an option "Screen Off" that only turns off the screen but keeps audio running. It is somewhere in the Energy Saving settings according to their manual. Update: I see in your sig that you do have an LG so hopefully yours supports this function.

Thanks! And now I know - Windows 11 still has screensaver options 😄 Would a black image be the best? Just being extra cautious with my precious OLED panel. 16 minutes ago, orchestra_nl said: Does your TV has an option to turn off the display only and keep the TV running?

Time for a google search I guess. Edited April 7, 20242 yr by Cpt_Piett 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5
April 13, 20242 yr Author Just an update on how I resolved the issue, in case it may help others. Turned off auto-standby in TV menu Selected a screen saver in control panel To start the screen saver manually: Made desktop shortcut to the screen saver - C:\Windows\System32\Ribbons.scr Right-clicked Ribbons.scr, properties, selected a shortcut key (I found one not already used in MSFS) 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5
April 13, 20242 yr Yeah, I have second monitor that always turns its audio on regardless of what settings I choose or disable. I even disabled the sound through the device manager and it still ends up providing audio. 7800+4090+64ram Just Flight RJ, 146 and F28, Piper Arrows ---A2A Aerostar and Comanche---Black Square Starship, Duke(s), TBM, Bonanza/BaronV2, KingAir---FSReborn FSR500---COWS Da42---FX P180, HJet & VJet---FlySimWare Chancellor and LearJet---FlightSimStudio EMB175 &P2006T---Fenix 320---PMDG DC6, 737(700+900), 777---C22J---Milviz Cessna 310 & Porter---SimWorksStudios Kodiak, PC12, Zenith & RV14---BigRadials Goose---IndiaFoxEcho MB3339+F35.
April 16, 20242 yr If I leave my LG OLED I take my remote, press the speech recognition button and say: „Screen off“. This sets the screen off but the TV is still running.
