An image display apparatus includes a display unit displaying an image, a touch detecting unit detecting a touch operation by a touch pen, a control unit executing a process allocated to the detected touch operation, and a communication unit receiving an ID transmitted from a touch pen when the touch pen is detected to be held by a user. In response to the communication unit receiving the ID, the display unit displays a partial image indicating a state of settings related to the process allocated to the touch operation by the touch pen, and in response to a touch to the partial image, the display unit displays a menu allowing a change of settings. Thus, the user can easily confirm the state of settings related to the touch operation, and can easily change the settings.
