Does what it does. I wish I could set a timeout so that the TV would go black after a set duration automatically. For example, I want to cast an Airdroid tab on my TV so that I can see my phone/social media notifications there while working. I'd rather not have to hit the black out icon every time before and after looking at the notifications on my TV since that takes away a lot of the convenience.

Exactly what I was looking for and works like a charm. Now I can listen to ambient noise websites without worrying about burn in.
