HP Monitors - Locking and unlocking the On-Screen Display (OSD)

The OSD lock prevents the OSD menu from opening when a button is pressed accidentally. You can enable or disable the OSD lock by pressing and holding the Menu button on the monitor for 10 seconds. If the OSD is locked, the warning message OSD Lockout, OSD Lock-out, OSD Lock, or similar is displayed for ten seconds.

Note:

If the message does not disappear after 10 seconds, the Menu button might be stuck or the hardware behind the button might have become defective. Try to press the button again to release it or move any objects that might be pressing against the button.

  • If the OSD is locked, press and hold the Menu button for 10 seconds to unlock the OSD.

  • If the OSD is unlocked, press and hold the Menu button for 10 seconds to lock the OSD.
