The screen can be manually turned off.
In addition to that we are awaiting WiiM to allow individual screen options for each input. Maybe as part of the coming Sound Profile options?

I did a request for this around a year ago. Around the same time I asked for a offline mode. Do you really think this will ever happen?

I have no idea.
There have been many requests in this forum for association of Ultra playback screen with the selected input. It has not been something @WiiM Team has prioritized.
You can try to raise it again via the feedback option in the WiiM Home App.
The Ultra's Input Sound Profile beta already includes the ability to turn off the screen via HDMI input.
Where can I find this setting?

It's still in beta test.

If you have an Ultra, you can install the beta firmware required for Sound Profile.
Ok, thx.
But then you loose the spectrum analyzer. At least I did so I had to revert back.
Such are betas - they’re not kept in step with public versions.

It’s no loss in its current state of development.
Yeah, I've asked if they will
Allow it to display signal level as the vu has an option for.
If you are using your ultra as a pre amp. It won't go further without being on at ridiculous volume.
Hopefully they'll actually address it at some point
In a firmware update
Yeah, seems like a simple fix.
Im using the wiim as a streamer/transport to my integrated now by the way.
If it's like that using fixed volume out, they definitely need to work on it.

The spectrum analyser is currently only showing the output volume level. Not as the VU meter that can also show the input. @WiiM Support have said that they are working on that.
I wouldn't expect a spread spectrum like that to be able to reach FS. Imagine you have a 1k tone as FS driving a 10W amp at full volume. Now add another tone at 500Hz also at FS. You will now be trying to drive your 10W amp to 20W or to +6dB FS. If the scale is a representation of voltage, not power the max you can get with the two tones is -6dB FS on each bar. The bars are already well overinflated, Wiim themselves have said they have made the spectrum more pleasing to the eye by raising the bars for lower volumes as the bars were too low and not using the screen real estate available
