OSD Lockout Message On HP LCD [SOLVED] - J.D. Hodges

OSD Lockout message on HP LCD [SOLVED]

Wednesday, 2014.04.23 J.D. H. 8 comments

If you have a newer HP LCD monitor like the HP Pavilion 23xi you may encounter the on screen display “OSD Lockout” message when trying to access the OSD (on-screen display). This message locks you out of any adjustments to brightness, contrast, color, etc. and only displays OSD Lockout:

Thankfully, to disable the lockout, you only have to press the OSD button for approximately 10-12 seconds and then the normal OSD will appear! 🙂

Press and hold the leftmost (OSD) button for 10-12 seconds to disable the lockout!

Full access restored to Brightness, Contrast, Color, etc. adjustments

If you are struggling with the OSD Lockout message, I hope this helps! 🙂

  Holding the menu button on the HP 27es monitor for 12 seconds did not disable OSD lockout. Same problem with power lockout. Is there another fix?

    Dear Roland, Thank you for your question.

    I am sorry that I do not know how to accomplish this on the HP 27es. I checked HP’s online manual and did not find any info 🙁 Perhaps another visitor to this site can help?

    Best regards, -J.D.
