  There are several reasons why your LG Monitor screen might be blank. First, ensure the power cord is securely plugged into the power outlet and that the power cable is properly connected. Press the power button. Also, verify that the correct input is enabled by navigating to Menu > Input > Input List. If the signal from your PC is outside the monitor's frequency range, consult the Product Specification section of the manual to adjust the frequency. Finally, check the signal cable between the PC and monitor to ensure it is properly connected.

  If there is no 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 your PC to the monitor you are using. In Microsoft Windows, go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound and set the monitor as the default device.

  Alexander LewisAug 5, 2025
  If the display color on your LG Monitor appears abnormal, try the following steps: First, set the color to 24 bit (true color) or higher by navigating to Control Panel > Display > Settings > Color Quality in Windows. Next, check the signal cable connection, reconnect it, or reinsert the PC's graphics card. If you notice pixilated spots (red, green, blue, white, or black), this is normal for an LCD screen and not related to the monitor's performance.
