The on-screen display (OSD) is a pop-up that appears as a response to LG TV remote commands. For example, if you press the volume up/down button, a level bar will appear indicating the volume level. This type of animation is called OSD.
Usually, OSD is always turned on on every LG TV as a default setting. It will help users in many situations while adjusting the brightness, modifying the contrast, changing the aspect ratio, etc. You can even turn off OSD on your TV if necessary.
