SO does that. She'll put the show on pause, go do shopping, come back and resume. All while leaving the TV on.

I've tried to get her to change oh so many times, all in vain...

No rational explanation either. Just... that's how she rolls I guess.

enable energy savings and turn off the tv after 2 hours. problem solved! Most tv's show a popup when they are about to shut off because of power savings, and with a button on the remote you can reset the timer.

This is extremely passive aggressive, tell me you’re single without telling me you’re single. People’s preferences being different than yours is not a technical problem to be worked around.

I’m not the one complaining here. My wife turns off everything before she leaves the place. Even if its just a quick walk with the dog :)

I had a girlfriend who would flush the toilet before using it. She said "it's cleaner this way". I tried to get her to stop, but it was a futile effort.

Before and after, I'd hope. :)

That doesn't kill LG OLEDs thought, that results in a nearly black screensaver (just a small slow "firework" effect). Wastes a touch more energy than turning the tv into sleep mode (since nothing actually turns off anymore), but hard to believe that would shorten life much.
