      If your LG Monitor displays no image, first ensure the power cord is properly connected to the power outlet and that the power button is pressed. If the monitor is in power saving mode, try moving the mouse or pressing a key on the keyboard. Also, verify that your PC is turned on. If the signal from the PC is out of the display's frequency range, consult the 'Specifications' section of the manual to reconfigure your display. The monitor goes to DPM (Display Power Management) mode if there is no signal within 5 minutes.
