This document serves as the owner's manual for an LG Smart Monitor, model 32SQ780S, providing essential information for its operation, installation, and maintenance. It emphasizes safety precautions, proper handling, and connection procedures to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the device.
The LG Smart Monitor is a versatile display unit designed for various uses, including PC connectivity and external device integration. It supports HDMI and USB-C connections, allowing for digital video and audio signal transmission from a PC, as well as functioning as a USB hub for peripheral devices. The monitor features a Plug and Play capability, enabling a PC to recognize attached devices without complex configuration. It also supports HDMI/USB-C Deep Color for enhanced picture quality. The monitor is equipped with a remote control for convenient navigation and adjustment of settings, including power, volume, channel selection, and access to quick settings and the home menu. Streaming service buttons on the remote provide direct access to video streaming platforms.
The monitor offers several ergonomic and functional features to enhance user experience. Its stand allows for height adjustment, with a maximum range of 130.0 mm (5.1 inches), and a swivel function that enables rotation up to 280 degrees left and right for optimal viewing angles. A pivot feature allows the monitor to rotate 90 degrees counter-clockwise, which can be useful for specific tasks or content viewing. The manual provides detailed instructions on how to fix the clamp securely to a table, accommodating various table thicknesses and protrusions. For tables without a protrusion, the table should be less than 75 mm (2.9 inches) thick. For tables with a protrusion, specific measurements are provided to ensure stable installation.
When connecting to a PC, the monitor supports various HDMI audio formats and recommends using a shielded interface cable with a ferrite core for best image quality. It is advised to use certified High Speed HDMI cables (shorter than 3 m or 9.84 feet) to avoid connection errors. For USB-C connections, the monitor supports PD (Power Delivery) and DP Alternate Mode (DP over USB-C), facilitating power and display signal transmission. However, it's noted that USB-C does not support fast charging and requires a certified USB-C cable (1.5 m or 4.92 feet or less) for proper function. The USB port also acts as a hub, allowing connection of keyboards, mice, or other USB devices, though some USB hubs or devices with automatic recognition programs may not be supported.
The remote control simplifies interaction with the monitor, offering dedicated buttons for quick settings, volume, mute, channel navigation, and direct access to streaming services. The home menu provides access to current time, weather, app list, and external inputs.
The manual provides crucial guidelines for the care and maintenance of the LG Smart Monitor to ensure its longevity and safe operation. Users are advised against disassembling, repairing, or modifying the product themselves, emphasizing the importance of contacting LG Customer Service for any repairs.
For cleaning, the monitor should be unplugged, and a soft cloth should be used to gently scrub the surface to prevent scratching. It is explicitly stated not to use a wet cloth, spray water, or other liquids directly onto the product, nor to use chemicals like benzene, paint thinners, or alcohol, as these can cause electric shock or damage.
To prevent image retention or "image sticking" on the screen, users are encouraged to employ a screen saver and power off the monitor when not in use, especially when displaying still images for prolonged periods. This issue, if it occurs due to long-term usage, is not covered by the product warranty.
The manual also highlights precautions for moving and lifting the monitor, recommending that it be moved in its original box or packing material. Before moving, all cables should be disconnected. The monitor should be held firmly by the side and bottom frames, with the screen facing away to prevent damage. When transporting, it should be kept upright, avoiding jolts or excessive vibration. For larger monitors, at least two people are recommended for safe handling.
Ventilation is critical for preventing internal overheating and potential fire hazards; thus, the monitor should be installed at least 10 cm (3.9 inches) from a wall, and its ventilation holes should not be blocked. Covering the product with cloth or other materials while it is plugged in is also prohibited.
Users are cautioned to keep the power cord and AC adapter clean and dry, avoiding contact with wet hands or dusty plugs, to prevent electric shock or fire. Only power cords and AC adapters provided or approved by LG Electronics should be used. The power cord should always be pulled by the plug, not bent excessively, and protected from heavy objects or sharp items to prevent damage.
In case of any unusual smells, smoke, strange sounds, or physical damage (e.g., if the product is dropped or the case is broken), the monitor should be immediately unplugged, and LG Customer Service should be contacted. These measures are essential for maintaining the product's safety and operational integrity.
