[LG Monitor] I want to learn how to set the SMART ENERGY SAVING function

Repair Monitors 16/06/2025

Smart Energy Saving (SES) Feature
The  Smart Energy Saving (SES)  function is designed to reduce the power consumption of your monitor.
How It Works:
Instead of simply lowering the screen brightness, the SES function uses a contrast enhancement algorithm to optimize image quality while consuming less electricity. The video quality remains similar.
Meaning of "High" and "Low":
"Low" and "High" refer to the  level of power reduction  applied to the monitor. "High" offers the maximum energy savings (up to 25%), while "Low" provides moderate savings (up to 15%) with minimal impact on screen appearance.
Energy Efficiency:
  • SES Low: 5 to 15% saving compared to Off mode.
  • SES High: 15 to 25% saving compared to Off mode.
How to Enable the SES Function
Note: Steps may vary depending on your monitor model. Consult your user manual for precise instructions.
For general monitors, here is the standard method:
  1. Press the  Joystick button (usually located under the screen).
  2. Move the joystick to the right to access  [Settings].
Press the joystick button and explain the entry into settings

③ In [General], select [SMART ENERGY SAVING] and select [High], [Low] or [Off] depending on the situation.
