  If nothing is displayed on your LG Monitor, ensure the power cord is correctly plugged into the outlet. Also, verify the power cable connection and press the power button. Check that the connected input is enabled in the monitor's settings under Input. If the issue persists, inspect the signal cable between the PC and the monitor for any disconnections. Finally, ensure the signals from your PC's graphics card are within the monitor's horizontal or vertical frequency range, as specified in the Product Specification section.

Why is my LG 32UN500 screen display unstable and shaky?
- R
  Ryan NormanAug 7, 2025
  If your LG Monitor's screen display is unstable and shaky, or if images leave shadow trails, it could be due to the resolution being set to HDMI 1080i 60/50 Hz (interlaced). Try changing the resolution to 1080p or the recommended resolution. Additionally, not setting the graphics card to the optimal resolution may cause these issues, along with blurred text, a dimmed screen, a truncated display area, or misalignment. Setting methods may vary depending on your computer or operating system.
