  If nothing is displayed on your LG Monitor screen, ensure the power cord is correctly plugged into the outlet, the power cable is connected, and the power button is pressed. Also, verify the connected input is enabled via Menu > Input > Input list. If the monitor is in sleep mode, move the mouse or press any key. Confirm that your computer is turned on. Check the cable and reconnect it. If signals from the PC are out of range, see the Product Specification section of this manual to set the appropriate frequency.

  If you are not getting any sound from the headphone port or speaker of your LG Monitor, first try increasing the volume using the button on the monitor. If that doesn't work, set the audio output of the PC to the monitor you are using. On Microsoft Windows, go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound and set the monitor as the default device.

  If your LG Monitor screen display is unstable, shaky, or images leave shadow trails, and the selected resolution is HDMI 1080i 60/50 Hz (interlaced), the screen may be flickering. Try changing the resolution to 1080P or the recommended resolution.

  Nancy CarterAug 9, 2025
  If the display color on your LG Monitor is abnormal, set the color to 24 bit (true color) or higher via Control Panel > Display > Settings > Color Quality (in Windows). Check if the signal cable is properly connected; reconnect it or reinsert the PC's graphics card. Note that pixilated spots (red, green, blue, white, or black) may appear, which is normal and not related to the monitor's performance.
