Connecting to External Display

Connect the external display device through the USB-C™ port of the PC to output a PC screen to an external display.

In some models, the Dolby Audio function may not work when connecting to an external display.

Tip:

  • Connect to the PC while the power of the external display device is turned off.

  • If the external display screen does not appear after connecting to the PC, check Input Mode of the external display device.

  • By connecting a display that supports USB-C™ Alternate Mode, you can use the USB-C™ port to output a screen to an external display.

    Alternate Mode is a mode that uses display outputs such as DP (Display Port) and HDMI through the USB-C™ port.

  • The USB-C™ port supports the interface with the DP (Display Port) specifications.

Caution:

  • Use the cable/adapter that fits the USB-C™ specifications and supports Alternate Mode.

  • The USB-C™ cable/adapter for non-LG products may not be connected or cause a problem.

  1. Connect the PC and external display with a cable that fits the external display device.
