Installation Steps

Follow these steps to assemble the monitor stand and prepare for use.

1. Attach Stand Neck to Monitor: Align the neck with the mounting slot on the rear of the monitor. Insert and secure with the provided screws (hand-tighten, do not over-tighten).
2. Attach Base to Stand Neck: Align the base with the bottom of the stand neck. Slide or click into place until it locks securely. Some models may require a screw to secure the base.
3. Place Monitor: Carefully lift the assembled monitor and place it on your desk or work surface.
4. Connect Power: Plug the power cable into the DC-IN port on the monitor, then into a properly grounded wall outlet.
5. Connect Signal Source: Connect your computer or device using the provided HDMI, DisplayPort, or VGA cable to the corresponding port on the monitor.

CAUTION! The monitor is heavy. Use two people for lifting and positioning to avoid injury or damage.

Connecting Devices

The LG LSN243HLV3 supports multiple input sources for versatile connectivity.

1. HDMI Connection (Recommended): Use for digital video and audio. Connect one end to your PC/laptop's HDMI port and the other to the monitor's HDMI IN port.
2. DisplayPort Connection: For high-resolution digital video. Connect the DisplayPort cable from your PC to the monitor's DisplayPort IN.
3. VGA Connection (Analog): Use the VGA cable for older PCs. Connect to the PC's VGA port and the monitor's PC IN (D-Sub) port.
4. Audio Connection: If using VGA, connect a separate 3.5mm audio cable from your PC's audio output to the monitor's AUDIO IN jack.
5. USB Hub (if applicable): Connect the upstream USB cable from the monitor to your PC to activate the side or downstream USB ports.

Tip: Ensure all devices are powered off before making connections. Use the INPUT/SOURCE button on the monitor or remote to select the active signal source.

Initial Power On & Setup

Once all connections are made, power on the monitor and perform initial adjustments.

1. Press the POWER button on the monitor or remote control.
2. The LG logo will appear. If no signal is detected, ensure your source device is on and the correct input is selected.
3. Use the joystick button or OSD (On-Screen Display) buttons on the monitor to access the main menu.
4. Navigate to Language and set your preferred language.
5. Navigate to Picture settings. Select a picture mode (e.g., Reader, Photo, Cinema) or customize Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness, and Color Temperature.
6. If the image appears blurry or misaligned (VGA only), navigate to Menu > Picture > Auto Config to automatically adjust clock and phase.

Note: Allow the monitor to warm up for 20-30 minutes for optimal picture performance.

Adjusting the Stand

The ergonomic stand allows for comfortable viewing angles.

• Tilt: Gently tilt the monitor forward (up to 5°) or backward (up to 20°).
• Height Adjustment (if supported): Grasp the monitor and lift vertically to raise or lower it. The range is typically 110mm.
• Pivot (if supported): Rotate the monitor 90° clockwise or counterclockwise into portrait mode. The OSD will automatically adjust the image orientation.
• Swivel: Rotate the base left or right (up to 30° in each direction).

CAUTION! Do not force any adjustment beyond its stop point. Make adjustments slowly and smoothly.

Wall Mount Installation

To mount the monitor on a wall, you will need a compatible VESA mount (sold separately).

1. Disconnect all cables from the monitor.
2. Lay the monitor face down on a soft, protected surface.
3. Remove the stand by pressing the release button (if any) and lifting the stand assembly away, or by unscrewing the neck attachment.
4. Attach the VESA mount bracket (100x100mm or 75x75mm, check specifications) to the monitor's rear mounting pattern using the screws provided with your wall mount kit. Ensure screws are the correct length to avoid damaging the panel.
5. Securely attach the wall plate to your wall, ensuring it is anchored into studs or using appropriate wall anchors for the weight.
6. Lift the monitor and hook the bracket onto the wall plate. Secure with the locking screw if provided.
7. Reconnect all cables.

WARNING! Wall mounting should be performed by a qualified professional. Ensure the wall and mount can support the weight of the monitor (see specifications).
