I've seen an older thread on this topic but it doesn't look like anyone found a solution to disabling the screen saver, so I'll try a new one.
On virtually all my LG TV's (I have three OLED's and two LCD), the screen saver interferes with my music app (like Plex, Spotify or Amazon Music). I mainly use Plex for playback of my music which is stored on a central server (NAS) and from the app loaded on a Fire TV stick or cube. After about 20-30 minutes, the album art and other related music information (lyrics, song title, duration, etc) all goes black. If I run Plex (or Spotify) directly on the LG TV via the LG Content store app, the screen saver with fireworks always comes on in about 2 minutes.
I've tried all the different methods to disable the screen saver function including turning off the Timers, Auto Power Off, HDD Storage, etc. I also tried opening the hidden menus by pressing the mute button 5 times but that menu didn't have anything relevant.
Interesting is that the screen saver doesn't come on when using Spotify on a Fire TV stick or if I playback music through a USB device. But i don't use those methods often, mainly Plex to access my music server where I have about 500 CD's stored in ALAC format.
Has anyone found a way to disable the screen saver function? I know the logic for having it (to prevent OLED burn in) but I'm not leaving the same image on for more than the song duration (about 3-5 minutes). It's annoying to check the screen for the a music title or see who is on only to find a black screen looking back. Thanks for any help.

Question
Chapeaugirl
My second LG SMART WEBIS TV has died in the past 7 years.
Same thing, Black Screen but Audio is great.
The first tv died 2 weeks after extended warranty expired, this past TV, yesterday, has done same thing but 6 months after Extended Warranty expired. My question is: Has anyone, here or that you know of, have had this happen? It makes me sick to my stomach. LG knows how many hours and minutes the TV is on and it seems to me that they have a switch that kills the TV when they think a new one should be bought.
Stupid me bought a second LG TV thinking the first was a fluke but now I am dead suspicious. I have Sony, Samsung and Sharp TV's well into their 8 to 10th years and they are all perfect. I'm mad as hell and want something from LG for this.
Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem. It's too expensive to fix and cheaper to buy new but it certainly will never be an LG.
