Controls
Monitor controls went from simple in the early days when we had older CRTs, there was a knob for each function, and either were only two or three functions. As LCD monitors took over, they were all digital in nature (in fact, had to have A/Ds installed to support VGA), so digital OSDs were included even at the entry level. Each supplier’s OSD was slightly different, the buttons temperamental, and in general the last thing you wanted to do was to have to make any adjustments.
LG changed the interface, and put a joystick at the bottom, in the middle, slightly behind the bezel. You press and hold down for a second to turn it on. Then if you press it again, a turntable like display pops up and you can chose which function category you want by pushing left-right, back-forward.
The joystick is just below and behind the LG logo, and blinks. You can easily control the functions of the monitor by pressing the joystick button or moving it left/right with your finger. There’s also a headphone jack and a volume control on the UI.
