  If nothing is displayed on your LG Monitor screen, first ensure the power cord is correctly plugged into the power outlet. Next, check the power cable connection and press the power button. Also, verify that the connected input is enabled in the monitor's settings under [Settings] > [Input]. Finally, check the signal cable between the PC and the monitor to ensure it is properly connected. If the issue persists, the signals from the PC might be outside the monitor's frequency range; refer to the Product Specification section of the manual to set the appropriate frequency.

  Michelle HallAug 7, 2025
  If your LG Monitor's screen display is unstable or shaky, or if 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. Also, not setting the graphics card to the recommended (optimal) resolution may result in blurred text, a dimmed screen, a truncated display area or misalignment of the display.

  If your LG Monitor is not displaying in 4K resolution, first check if the cable is properly connected. Then, set the proper resolution and refresh rate in your PC screen resolution settings or the player's option menu. Ensure that the connected external device supports 4K resolution, as it is only available on compatible devices. Finally, go to [Settings] > [General] > [HDMI ULTRA HD Deep Color] function to enable the function.
