  First, verify that the power cord is correctly plugged into the power outlet and that the monitor's power button is pressed. If the monitor displays 'NO SIGNAL' after being turned on, ensure the signal cable connecting the PC and monitor is properly connected. Also, if a message appears indicating the signal from the PC is out of the display's frequency range, consult the 'Specifications' section of the manual to reconfigure your display settings.

  First, verify that the power cord is correctly connected to the outlet. Then, ensure that you have pressed the Power button. If the monitor displays 'NO SIGNAL' after being on, it might be in DPM mode, which occurs when the signal cable between your PC and the monitor is either missing or disconnected. Inspect the cable and reconnect it securely. Also, this message may appear when the signal from the PC (video card) is out of horizontal or vertical frequency range of the display. Refer to the 'Specifications' section of this manual and configure your display again.

  If the display image on your LG Monitor appears incorrect, first check that the signal cable is properly connected, and use a screwdriver to tighten it if necessary. Also, ensure that the video card is correctly inserted in its slot. Then, set the color setting higher than 24 bits (true color) in Control Panel settings. Finally, check if the screen is set to interlace mode, and if it is, change it to the recommended resolution.
