LGTV Companion x64 v1.5.0

• New feature: option to disable automatically turning off devices when the WebOS device is not set to the PC input (HDMI input 1-4). This can be useful to prevent the display from powering off when the PC is not the source, f e when using the netflix app or when gaming on your console.
• New feature: option to enable advanced user-idle system to provide enhanced burn-in protection and power savings. - This is fundamentally comparable to a more aggressively configured and predictable screen saver, designed to complement the OS's power saving features. You may have noticed how f.e media players, games or production software can potentially prevent the PC from starting a screensaver or entering a low power mode / suspend / idle. This feature works by implementing user mode idle detection utilizing strictly input from the keyboard, mouse and controllers, to then turn off the device's emitters.
