      If your LG Monitor's screen display is unstable and shaky, and images leave shadow trails, it might be due to the resolution settings. If the selected resolution is HDMI 1080i 60/50 Hz (interlaced), the screen may flicker. Change the resolution to 1080p or the recommended resolution.

      If the 3840 x 2160 resolution is not available in HDMI on your LG Monitor, it may be due to the graphics card not supporting this resolution and refresh rate.

      tmedinaAug 31, 2025
      If your LG Monitor screen retains an image, it is likely due to displaying a still image for a prolonged time, which may cause damage to the screen. To extend the monitor's lifetime, use a screensaver.

    Why is the display color abnormal on my LG UltraGear 32GQ950-B?
    • J
      Jorge DeleonSep 4, 2025
      An abnormal display color on your LG Monitor can be due to several factors. First, ensure that the color is set to 24 bit (true color) or higher by going to Control Panel > Display > Settings > Color Quality in Windows. Also, check if the signal cable is properly connected; try reconnecting the cable or reinserting the PC's graphics card. Note that pixilated spots (red, green, blue, white, or black) may appear on the screen, which is normal and not related to the monitor's performance.
