We are able to EDIT some of the functions that are in the initial SETTINGS screen.  However other functions that are layers deep into the settings are unable to be dragged/dropped into that EDIT function. Like ASPECT RATIO. To get to that feature requires a long list of clicking things. It is a function that we use a LOT in order to prevent screen burn-in on these OLED screens. (to be able to watch a channel for extended period of time that happens to have that stupid LOGO or "crawl" along the bottom. Like CNN or MSNBC).

I wanted to add something to this feature request. The OLDER version of LG WebOS on our old LG OLED had the settings pop-up vertically on the RIGHT side of the screen. Aspect Ratio was one of the options which allowed a quick (2 click?) of adjusting the aspect ratio. This new SETTINGS screen on the Left has all of the options in 1 big layout. While "PICTURE" is an Option, to go thru all the sub-options to get to ASPECT RATIO is tedious at best. Hence why I think it would be great to allow ANY option to be added to that SETTINGS screen for faster selection.

The only thing we have found that makes a this a "little" faster is if we press the "*" settings button on the remote, then select the Settings Icon on the top left of the settings screen (above Recent History), the Picture mode is the first thing to come up, which includes ASPECT Ratio.  So yea, a but faster. But STILL would be nice to have it available to added/edit to the Initial Settings screen.

You can reprogram one of the remote control keys to call up the desired function using the LG Input Hook:

Honestly, that's crazy ... "root access to the TV" ?   How about the developers of WEBOS just provide a simple solution? Like the ability to ADD "Aspect Ratio" to the Quick Access setting screen?

Can you post the steps required to specifically do this?

Thank you in advance

Are you referring to my post ? The Steps to access Aspect ratio?

Cody Yes. If you can give me the step by step guide to unlock this feature

The fastest way I have found :

Click Settings button on Remote

  From Settings screen Popup, Select PICTURE

  On that Picture screen that pops up, select ASPACT RATIO

  On that Aspect Ratio Screen that pops up, select USER SELECTION

  On that USER Selection screen, choose which aspect ratio you want (I toggle between Original & 4-way Zoom to get the bottom LOGO(s) and Crawl off the screen to prevent burn-in)

  Once set, you have to click the left arrow return button on the remote to get out of that Aspect screen. Then you can just click anywhere on the TV screen to get rid of all the settings screens.

So THIS is my issue I wish the developers would fix.  It takes way too many steps to set Aspect ration now under the latest WebOS version vs the older LG OLED WebOS software.

Agreed. Have asked them but they don't wish to provide an answer

Agreed but so far they have not provided an answer as they seem not to want to.

Hi Guys,

I share your frustration and I assume there's been no change, still about 13 button presses to change aspect!

Surely this should be easy to rectify with the WebOS.

My LG is a fantastic TV but for this highly irritating 'design flaw'.

I have three old TV's with Aspect buttons on the remote!

My partner and I watch a lot of 4:3 TV shows and films, the LG drives us crazy!

Come ON LG

      For those with LG monitors with Higher than 144hz that have the new software and UI UPDATE version 03.11.22 and that have NVIDIA GPUs, here's where you can DISABLE DSC to allow the DSR factor again. UPDATED JULY 16, 2026 (07-16-26)
      By Interstellarkev
      This is for all that have LG monitors with the latest software that changed UI settings for GAME OPTIMIZER
      I could not find this anywhere on the internet for an update on what happened to the compatibility modes for DisplayPort/HDMI. Everything is outdated.
      Apparently LG updated their UI and MOVED the option for compatibility modes to disable DSC. This USED to be in the common GENERAL tab, but NO LG moved it to the External Devices, which makes no sense as it should be with the common general menu.
      I'm not sure if this is a bug or an oversight, but here it is
      SETTINGS BUTTON > GENERAL > EXTERNAL DEVICES > INPUT COMPATIBILITY
      Why would you disable DSC, you ask?
      Well, if you don't disable this mode, you will not be able to use scaling factors like DSR on NVIDIA. I have seen remarks about AMD being able to use it without this option turned off, but for NVIDIA they are behind on this.
      This WILL disable high frame rates beyond 144 Hz for the trade-off, but you will be able to scale your resolution higher.

      Allow to play old .avi files, please!
      By Digard
      I know this was mentioned before. I'd like to support this.
      WebOS is such a great and versatile system; a real media centre. BUT: I have a number of video files that it simply doesn't play. VLC, e.g. does, but is not available. 
      To me it is such a pity that I have to have a system in parallel (actually a PC!) to play those files, with VLC, and then switch to HDMI to watch the clips on my TV. This doesn't look very much like 2026, as far as I am concerned.
      To give an example, in which nothing is spectacular, and yet it doesn't play:

      Better yet: add something like VLC or at least Dragon. Make it available; even if the warranty was void, I'd prefer to load such an application.
      Thanks for pondering!

      LGTV Smart Share Shuffle Video Playback [Feature Request]

      Request for a new option of "Sound Output" or a change of the existing options
      By jmk
      My LG TV : Model 75UM7000PLA
      The Problem:
      When I want to use my wireless optical headphones, I switch the TV “Sound Out” option to “Optical” or “Internal TV Speaker + Optical.” But when I do this, the TV sends a command to the Yamaha receiver that forces it to switch its input to Optical. This stops playback of my HDMI device connected to the Yamaha because the Yamaha input is changed.
       
      What I would like:
      Can LG update the TV firmware so that:
      1️⃣ When I select “Optical” or “Internal TV Speaker + Optical” in “Sound Out,” it does not cause the Yamaha receiver to switch its input source?
      OR
      2️⃣ Add a new “Sound Out” option that sends audio to Optical without sending a command to change the Yamaha input?
      OR
      3️⃣ Make the existing “Internal TV Speaker” mode also output audio through Optical, but without causing the Yamaha input to switch?
       
      Note:
      Disabling ARC is not a good solution because:
       
      Audio from devices connected to the Yamaha receiver still plays on both TV and Yamaha speakers.
       
      Audio from devices connected to the TV no longer plays on the Yamaha speakers.
       
      Thank you!
