A simple utility that enables the owners of a WebOS LG TV to pair it with their computer, allowing their PC to manage their television in various ways. #LG TV Monitor #TV as Monitor #Configure WebOS TV #LG #TV #Monitor
Using a smaller TV as a monitor is slowly becoming a trend, and with how well-equipped some newer TVs are in regards to image quality, it's easy to see why increasingly more users are looking towards this solution.
You may encounter some problems using your TV as a monitor, but if you happen to own an LG television, LGTV Companion is an app that can facilitate the entire process and solve some incompatibilities.
Some problems may specifically arise from how the TV and your computer manage power states, which is what such a tool seeks to fix. You'll initially have to connect your TV to your computer, and if they're both on the same network, the app should recognize that and pair them accordingly. If not, it's possible to introduce the data manually and pair them that way.
Upon connecting the devices, the app will allow you to tweak the options related to your TV. These options involve setting a global Power On timeout, enable additional burn-in protections, as well as recognizing Restart Words from your Event Log.
The aforementioned Restart Words can help the program to more accurately respond to power state changes. For instance, powering off your computer would also turn off your TV-turned-monitor.
What's new in LGTVCompanion 3.5.0:
- Improvements and additions in this release:
- Option to blank the screen of devices instead of powering off, when PC is a remote streaming host (RDP, sunshine, gamestream, steam link etc). This may improve compatibility in certain situations.
- Automatic management of "localized restart words" for select languages (currently English, French, Swedish). The original implementation remains in place for OS localizations which are not yet implemented. The original implementation was confusing at times (that's on me) so moving towards an, hopefully, even more approachable solution by building an internal database.
