Description Of Issue

Is there a simple way to get the Roon main screen on the TV?

Assuming you can’t run HDMI from your Windows PC to the TV, get a microsoft wireless hdmi adapter and use Windows-P to project the screen to the TV :slight_smile:

Hi @Eric_Solomon,

If the TV has a web browser you can use the Web Display feature. Alternatively, you can connect a Chromecast device and use that as a Display.

Personally I would avoid sending any media player display to an OLED TV, even though Roon’s is nice with soft edges, colours in harmony etc - I just don’t want a mostly static image going to my OLED for hours on end.

It does - but it only gets as far as showing the Roon logo and the display doesn’t appear in the Roon displays list (with my LG B7 OLED). I have had the same problem with a lot of local http addresses. I wonder if it might be an https thing as it seems happy enough with my NAS UI which is https.

This is as much as I can quickly find out about it - https://www.lg.com/uk/support/product-help/CT00008334-1435838149474-web-browser-specifications-operation

Far better off using a chromecast for this kind of thing if possible, but I still would suggest you don’t use you OLED for this purpose due to image retention / burn-in risk.

I want to 2nd Adam’s concerns about leaving such a static image up on an OLED.

Chromecasts work simply for this and are cheap. I will try to see how my Samsung’s web browser behaves when I get home and test it out.

Thanks for the helpful comments. After the first comment, I bought a microsoft wireless hdmi adapter. However, due to subsequent comments, I will not leave a static image on the TV for any length of time.
Thanks again.

I thought TVs could move The image about minutely (a couple of pixels) to avoid this issue. Perhaps I’m wrong…

#10

They do, but that tiny amount of movement is not sufficient really.

I cannot wait for microLEDs to be a consumer reality… well an affordable reality.

Is this thread concerned about “burn-in”? Honest question: Is that still an issue with the later models? I thought that was a plasma thing.

#13

It did affect plasma. LED isn’t so much an issue anymore, but OLED displays do suffer from burn of static images still.

#14

See this long-term test about burn-in on OLED TVs…

#15

I agree , my new TV in my “spare” system has Bluetooth to the Soundbar, via ARC, plus a Chromecast

This means turn the screen off and off goes the soundbar

I eventually Wired the soundbar by HDMI so I could use the soundbar from Roon with or without picture
