Thank you very much for help, will try this option. But unfortunately one minute is very long :( I believe 1-3 seconds is better option (or even turn off display immediately after starting shooting video). Do you know when the updated firmware with this option will be available? Thank you.
I also need to be able to disable the LCD screen. I will be using the Hero 5 Black to record from on a live stage. I need to turn off the LEDs, Sound, and LCD screen so that they are not a distraction. This was easy on the older GoPros. Not being able to do that on the 5 is a show stopper (literally).
Yup, there just has to be an option to switch rear LCD off until we want to use it again. There's no reason for it to stay on or even blink during remote triggering, or long timelapse for example. cheers,

I second a shorter option as screen on time is a huge battery killer.
In my opinion it is not only about screensaver delay. There is reason to have option of switching off the touchscreen completly and be able to operate only using front LCD or remote. When i use the camera to take photos from the distance i really don't want rear LCD to do anything - eat battery or even blink without the reason. On my old GoPro it was no problem with using it even in complete stealth mode.
