This document is an owner's manual for LG IPS LED monitors, specifically models 22EA63V, 23EA63V, and 27EA63V. It provides instructions for assembling, using, customizing settings, troubleshooting, and lists technical specifications for these monitors.
Function Description
The LG IPS LED monitors are designed for displaying video and audio signals from a PC or A/V equipment. They support various input signals including D-SUB (analog), DVI-D (digital), and HDMI (digital and audio). The monitors feature an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel, which typically offers wide viewing angles and accurate color reproduction. Key functionalities include:
- Display Modes: Supports standard resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz, with specific timing for HDMI inputs (480P, 576P, 720P, 1080i, 1080P).
- Customizable Settings: Users can adjust various display parameters such as brightness, contrast, color temperature, gamma, sharpness, black level, and response time.
- Picture Modes: Offers preset picture modes like Custom, Text, Photo, Cinema, and Game for PC mode, and Custom, Vivid 1, Vivid 2, Standard, and Cinema for AV mode, optimizing display for different content types.
- SUPER ENERGY SAVING: An energy-efficient function that helps reduce power consumption.
- DUAL DISPLAY: Allows the monitor to be used as a secondary monitor in either "Clone" (duplicate) or "Extended" mode, requiring the DUAL SMART SOLUTION software.
- DUAL WEB: Divides the screen in half to efficiently browse the web, also requiring the DUAL SMART SOLUTION software.
- Self Image Setting Function: Automatically adjusts display settings for optimal viewing, particularly for analog input signals.
- 'AUTO' Function: Improves resolution for blurry, flickering, or tilted screens, primarily for analog input.
- OSD Lock/Unlock: Prevents inadvertent changes to control settings.
