[LG monitor] Does the adapter generate heat if used for a long time?

Troubleshooting

In supplying power to the monitor heat is generated by the internal parts of the adapter, and if it is used for a long time, the temperature inside the adapter may rise.

Causes and Symptoms

Is the monitor adaptor hot when you touch it with your hand?

When you use the monitor for a long time or play games with high monitor quality, the monitor consumes a large amount of power, causing the generation of heat
with the surface temperature of the adapter rising as a result.

What causes heat generation in the adapter?

➔ The adapter is a device that supplies stable power to the monitor and it converts 220V AC power into 19V DC power.

➔ During this process, the surface temperature of the adapter rises due to the heat generated by internal circuit parts (transformer and semiconductor parts).
This is not a product malfunction, but a normal phenomenon that occurs due to the characteristics of adapter parts.
