Fixed:

  • the window height from the config was not set correctly after opening application

Fixed in LG controller:

  • adding an action (like backlight) did not trigger the input dialog anymore

Added in LG controller:

  • added subscriptions to the power state of the tv. In the Log tab page you will now see power state updates of the tv's. Currently this is only
    used to prevent the tv from powering up after the screen saver stops and the tv was initially powered off by the user and not the app.

Fixed in NVIDIA controller:

  • changing the first default preset did not have the desired effect. It stayed at "Use default color settings" in NVIDIA Control Panel. This will now be auto-corrected. If every color setting is at Auto or Default, the default color settings will be used. If any setting is customized, the "NVIDIA color settings" will be applied.

Added to LG controller:

  • Added more options to the "Expert"-button. You can now instantly change the picture mode, color gamut and more!

  • The above settings can now also be included as actions in the "Steps" of a preset. Click the "Add step" button and choose an action from the "Actions" sub-menu. You can, for example, execute the following steps within a preset:

motionProOLED(high), backlight(30), brightness(60), colorGamut(wide)

This will set OLED Motion Pro to "High", the backlight to 30, brightness to 60 and color gamut to "Wide". Note that in order to properly change OLED Motion Pro, it must be available and you first need to manually set TruMotion to "User" once.

NOTES:

  • This is only tested on a C9, I don't know if this works on a CX, or even a C1.
  • Not all options work under all circumstances. Setting a "HDR" picture mode while not in HDR will not do anything.
  • Most options work even though they are normally disabled in the settings-menu. This means you can now set the color gamut to "Wide" while using the "Game" picture mode in PC mode. "Smooth Gradation" and "Peak Brightness" also work while in Game mode.

This version patches the detection mechanism of 3.1.0.0 for checking if your tv is eligible to enable Motion Pro. The model name that is returned by the tv itself is now used and not the name that could manually be entered.

Added new "Expert" button on LG controller tab page. This button is currently mostly for testing a new way of instantaneously changing settings (like the backlight), without navigating the menu of the tv.
Currently there's only a backlight setting, but for B9/C9 owners there's also a way to enable the OLED Motion Pro feature of your tv. This feature was disabled by LG on launch, but can now be enabled. After enabling you will have the option of Off, Low, Medium and High, just like the CX has. Of course you do this at your own risk and this app and creator are in no way accountable for any damages it may cause to your tv.

Added/improved in LG controller:

  • You can now manually add your tv's to the app: a name, IP-address and MAC-address are required
  • Power settings can now be configured per device
  • You can now choose a device for each preset.
    Default they will work on the "Globally selected device" which is the device that is selected on top of the tab page. This is how it always worked.
    But you can now select a different device for each preset.
  • Remote Control now displays a picture of a LG Magic Remote Control and most of the buttons can be clicked. Actions are performed on the globally selected device:

    --nvpreset : execute NVIDIA-preset
    --amdpreset : execute AMD-preset
    --lgpreset : execute LG-preset
    --help : displays this help info
    Options:
    --nogui: starts command from the command line and will not open GUI (is forced when GUI is already running)

Added:

  • New option "Minimize to system tray" (default active) so you can disable the icon in the system tray
  • ColorControl main window will automatically be focused when trying to run the program if it is already running
  • LG controller: added an option to automatically power off on screensaver and power on when screensaver deactivates. The power off is triggered by processes that end with ".scr" and only if that process is started by "winlogon", so it should work with most screensavers. Notes:
    -- If you manually start the screensaver, the tv will NOT power off immediately, but it will still power off when the normal screensaver activates. The "normal" screensaver still activates even when you already manually started one.
    -- When the tv is powered off by the screensaver and you remotely connect to the pc, ColorControl now tries to detect that the local user is absent and will not power on the tv. This may not work reliably just yet.
    -- If you manually turn off the tv, ColorControl will not try to turn it off when the screensaver activates and also will not try to power it on again when the screensaver stops
    -- This functionality also works when the lock screen is active (screensaver still activates)
    -- You must set up the screensaver like this. In this example, after 1 minute the tv will power off:

Fixed:

  • NVIDIA: reading the current color settings could cause an exception which prevented the program from running. If an exception occurs, the current color settings will all be displayed as default/Auto

Added:

  • Support for AMD graphics cards. Currently only color depth, pixel format, refresh rate, dithering and HDR is supported. Some settings will throw an error if using DVI/DP instead of HDMI. HDR is not tested (my old HD 7950 does not support HDR). More functionality will come later/by request.

Improved:

  • WOL now uses the new mechanism by default. You can still use the Npcap variant by enabling the "Use old WOL mechanism (Npcap)" under options.
  • Replaced the delay setting with retries setting for powering up (WOL) after startup/resume. Waking up the tv should now be more reliable, especially on resume.

New release: 1.6.0.0

Added:

  • Possibility to add WakeOnLan-message to steps of preset in LG controller. Note that if you add more steps in the same preset, the WOL-message will always be send first.

Fixed:

  • Not saving certain check boxes on reboot/shutdown. Configs will now always be saved as soon as you leave the main window.
