OLED Auto off - also turns off HDMI out - not always practical #401

I assume that the OLED Auto off function has the main purpose of saving the OLED display from burn-in? And I know the timer can be adjusted and even turned off ("Never").

I sometimes keep my goggles turned on during bench setups while having the HDMI out connected to an external monitor - makes things so much easier to see whats going on without having to put the goggles on my head. Similar scenario during event, goggles placed stationary on table, providing spectator HDMI video feed to monitor.

But when the OLED timeout kicks in, it also kills the video feed to external HDMI (though OSD remains). Is this on purpose or just how things happened to turn out?

I was thinking that having the Auto OLED off only turn off internal OLED, nothing else, would be more practical? Point being, I do want to save my OLEDs from wear out, but prefer to keep the HDMI out for above mentioned reasons.
