Abstract

A display apparatus comprises a display unit; a first processor for outputting a first signal including an on-screen-display (OSD) menu signal and a first image signal. A second processor has a picture-in-picture (PIP) function, the second processor processes one of a second image signal and the first signal and outputs the processed signal to the display unit. A control unit controls the first processor for interrupting an output of the first image signal and outputting the OSD menu signal and for controlling the second processor for PIP-processing to output the OSD menu signal as a main screen and the second image signal as a sub-screen in the case that a prescribed OSD menu function is selected when the display unit displays an image according to the second image signal. Thus, a display apparatus and a method for controlling the same are provided which can display a harmonized OSD menu screen without an additional cost.
