What You Can Change About the LG TV Screensaver

What You Can Change About Your LG TV’s Screensaver:

Please note that the option to add pictures, and display the clock and weather on your LG screensaver may not be available on every LG TV model.

For instance, OLED TVs (see the video linked in the following section) have all of the functions listed above, but the LCD 43UP7550PTC model only supports turning the screensaver on/off. 

What You Can’t Change About Your LG TV’s Screensaver:

  • Set or adjust a timer for the screensaver
  • Change the screensaver to one of your personal photos since you can only select one of the available wallpapers from the gallery

LG TV Screensaver Time & Other Settings

LG TV screensavers are set to automatically appear after two minutes of inactivity. This timer cannot be adjusted, so you cannot alter the settings to make the screensaver appear after more or less time. 

The only settings you can adjust for your LG TV screensaver are its on/off status, which pictures it displays, and on OLED TVs, if it displays the clock and weather. 

Wrapping Things Up

Screensavers are a great way to customize your TV’s appearance. Unfortunately, your options are limited on LG TVs since they do not allow you to add your own photos to the gallery. 

However, depending on your LG TV model, you will be able to select which photos you’d like to display and, in the case of OLED TVs, even show clock and weather widgets. 

If your LG TV keeps reappearing, consider disabling it or trying to reduce its frequency by disabling Quick Start+. 

Remember, you cannot change your screensaver’s timer, so it will appear after two minutes of inactivity as long as it’s enabled.

  1. My G3 does not have the Screen Saver option in the menu from pressing the mute button 3 times. Software 3.10.85, WebOS 8.1.35 (as of June 5 2023). If you find how to enable the screen saver I would live to know.

  2. It seems that the LG have now changed the method you describe for web OS6.
    My new LG Oled55G3 with web OS 8.1.0 does not have a screen saver toggle.
