## What is Keep Black?

Turns your TV display output to complete black so you can keep playing music or podcasts while your display shows nothing. 

FEATURES
- Black screen to save your eyes and the environment from unnecessary visual clutter when you are listening to music or podcasts.
- Prevents the screen saver from kicking in while the screen is turned to black. This is similar to a screen saver, but also prevents the default screen savers from kicking in.
- Continue to listen to audio in the background with Apple Music, Spotify or Tidal. Works with any other that supports music or audio playback.
- A blinking visual indicator that can be turned on as needed with a timer feature. 
- Move the application to the top shelf for an elegant black background for your Apple TV home screen.
- Minimalistic user interface and settings

HOW TO
- You can also show a green blinking indication to identify that the application is still active. It can set to a time duration as well. Settings related to this feature can be changed by changing the settings at Settings > Apps > Keep Black.
- To exit the app, simply press the menu or the home button on your Siri remote.
- This app also prevents the Apple TV from sleeping while active, so please make sure you are turning it off when you are done watching.
- Notification overlays will continue to show while in the application. To disable them, please goto Settings > Apps > TV, find the notifications section and disable notifications.

WORKS GREAT
- On OLED, LCD and QLED displays made by Samsung, LG, Sony, Philips, Vizio, Panasonic and also displays that support true blacks with HDR.
- On Projectors made by Xiaomi, Epson and BenQ and others.
- Other displays such as external monitors being used as the output device on Apple TV with HDMI.
