How to Flip an LG Monitor?

Published in Monitor Configuration 2 mins read

Flipping your LG monitor's display orientation is generally accomplished through your computer's display settings. Here's how:

Steps to Flip Your LG Monitor's Display:

  1. Right-click on your desktop: This will bring up a context menu.

  2. Select "Display settings": This option will open the display settings window.

  3. Navigate to "Display orientation": In the "Display" settings, you should find a dropdown menu labeled "Display orientation." This is typically found under the "System" section and then the "Display" sub-section.

  4. Choose your desired orientation: The dropdown menu usually provides options such as:

    • Landscape: The standard, horizontal orientation.
    • Portrait: A vertical orientation, useful for viewing long documents or code.
    • Landscape (flipped): Landscape orientation, but upside down.
    • Portrait (flipped): Portrait orientation, but upside down.

  5. Apply the changes: Select your desired orientation, and click "Apply." Your screen will change to the new orientation.

  6. Confirm the changes: A prompt will appear asking if you want to keep the changes. If the display looks correct, click "Keep changes." If not, click "Revert" or wait for the timer to expire, and it will automatically revert to the previous setting.

Potential Issues and Troubleshooting:

  • Graphics Card Drivers: Make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause display issues. You can usually update your drivers through your graphics card manufacturer's website (e.g., NVIDIA, AMD, Intel).
  • Monitor's Physical Stand: Note that physically rotating your monitor is dependent on the stand it has. Not all stands allow for rotation into portrait mode.
  • Incorrect Display Selected: If you have multiple monitors, make sure you've selected the correct LG monitor in the display settings before changing the orientation. The settings typically display a numbered representation of your monitors; click on the one representing your LG monitor.

By following these steps, you should be able to easily flip your LG monitor's display to your desired orientation.
