The on-screen-display is controlled by a push and spin wheel which allows you to switch between menu items and increase or decrease the current settings. It also depresses allowing you to select the current menu item.

This, in my opinion, is one of the great perks of this monitor. Unlike some monitors where you have to select one button to bring up the menu, select another button to scroll, etc., all operations are completed with one simple wheel. This allows for super fast adjustment of any setting that need adjusting. This is especially good for super fast contrast or brightness adjustment in games.

Another great feature is the ability to put your monitor in Standby by simply selecting the power button, unlike some monitors, which turn the monitor off when you select the power button.
