This app is a simple CLI tool to invoke the service menu on LG televisions. I got extremely fed up with my television dimming the whole screen, despite the normal dimming settings being turned off, when watching videos that have very little movement for the majority of the picture (e.g. some YouTube videos). I don't have a system to use other tools with, so I spent an afternoon hacking this one together.
The code is pieced together by reading how the following projects do things:
- https://github.com/Maassoft/ColorControl
- https://github.com/Danovadia/lgtv-http-server
- https://github.com/supersaiyanmode/PyWebOSTV
- https://github.com/merdok/homebridge-webos-tv/tree/master
$ go build- Run the app:
$ ./lgtvtool 10.0.0.15(where10.0.0.15is the IP address of the television). - Enter passcode with television remote number buttons.
0413worked on my television. A list of passcodes can be found on https://www.wikihow.com/Display-the-Secret-Menu-in-LG-TVs. - Navigate to the "OLED" menu.
- Disable the "GSR" setting. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED/comments/x42to5/lg_c2_share_your_ways_to_limit_abl/imvc8hn/ indicates a "TCL" setting should also be disabled, but I don't see it on my television)
- Press the "gear" button on the remote to close the menu.
- Use
