Whether you are working from home or browsing the internet, you need a working monitor. It can be extremely frustrating when your computer monitor doesn’t work correctly. If your LG monitor has screen issues, how can you fit it?
If your LG monitor screen has issues, make sure the monitor is correctly connected to the computer. Any loose connections will disrupt the digital feed. Inspect the monitor cable for any broken or bent pins. Make sure there is no dust or other debris inside the connection ports.
Computer monitors have come a long way not only in their design but also in their performance. Even though there have been great technological advances in monitors, they are not immune to problems. One of the most common reasons for issues with an LG monitor is connection related.
A bad connection, whether from the cables or the power source, will present as a monitor issue. Some basic troubleshooting can help you quickly identify if this is the cause of your monitor’s issues.
The LG monitor needs to be plugged into a working wall outlet, not a power strip. The power strip may not be providing a sufficient or stable amount of electricity to the monitor.
If the monitor is already connected to a wall outlet, test the outlet to ensure it is indeed working. Unplug the monitor and plug in a small lamp or other appliance to see if it works. If the lamp or small appliance works, you know the outlet is not the cause of the problem.
Inspect the power cord and connection cables between the monitor and computer. Any signs of visible damage mean the fibers inside the cable are also damaged.
A power cord that has frayed or has burn marks should be replaced immediately. These signs of damage present a more serious problem since the problem could be electrical-related, which is a fire hazard. A qualified electrician can safely and easily diagnose the issue.
It is also good to make sure the connections are in the correct ports and are secure. A loose connection will make the monitor appear as though it is not working when, in actuality, there is nothing wrong with the monitor.
Depending on the model of monitor you have, if the monitor cable has VGA or DVI cables, make sure the connectors are screwed into place. This will ensure a more secure connection. For all other connections, make sure they are connected to the correct port.

LG Monitor Screen Flickering/Flashes On And Off
Is your LG monitor screen flickering/flashes on and off? The solution may be simpler than you think.
If your LG monitor screen is flickering/flashing on and off, the screen refresh rate is set too low. The display cable is loose or damaged. The graphics driver needs to be updated. There could be incompatible apps on the computer.
Computer monitors seem like complicated machines, but they really are simple in how they operate. Oftentimes it is the smallest and simplest of things that causes the monitor to stop working correctly
Refresh Rate
The human eye is one of the many members of the body that we take for granted. It observes the tiniest of details that often go unnoticed. When it comes to our monitors, the human eye can detect when the screen is refreshing.
When a screen refreshes, it is redrawn. The refresh rate is how many seconds it takes the monitor to redraw the information. A flickering monitor is your eye witnessing the screen refreshing.
Under normal circumstances, you should not see the screen refreshing. If you are now noticing, be thankful you have good eyesight and then increase the refresh rate.
The following steps will walk you through how to increase the refresh rate.
Step 1: Go to Settings.
Step 2: Go to Display.
Step 3: Go to Advanced Display Settings.
Step 4: Select Display Adapter Properties for Display 1.
Step 5: In the menu option box that pops up, select the tab for Monitor.
Step 6: Select Screen Refresh Rate.
Step 7: Adjust the refresh rate to a higher setting. If the flickering continues, increase the refresh rate.
Power Source
Most of us have our computers connected to a power strip. While the power strip is great in the event there is a power surge, the electromagnetic fields created by other connected appliances can create interference with your LG monitor.
Unplug these other appliances and move them away from the monitor. If they were the cause of the screen flickering, the issue will resolve itself fairly quickly.
App Updates
The majority of app publishers provide automatic updates to their apps. These updates are how the app improves. New data is installed that improves the app performance, fixes software bugs, and improves security features.

Step 2: Navigate to the Microsoft Store app.
Step 3: Once you are in the store, open the account menu and select App Settings.
Step 4: Select the option to update apps automatically.
Graphics Driver
The graphics driver is how all of the graphic components of your computer – from pictures to videos, work with the rest of your computer. The driver should automatically update however, like everything else around us, it is not a perfect system.
A pending update will affect how the graphics and video display works on your LG monitor. Updating the graphics driver is not as intimidating as it may seem. Follow these simple steps to see if an outdated graphics driver is the source of your troubles.
Step 1: Right-click on the Windows Start Logo and select Device Manager.
Step 2: Click on the arrow next to Display Adapters.

LG Monitor Brightness Keeps Changing
LG monitors are designed in such a way that they can automatically detect changes in the light around us. The monitor will adjust the screen brightness accordingly. While this can be very helpful, it can also be very distracting at times.
The main reason for the brightness was meant to be a helpful setting built within the LG monitor. The monitor is automatically set to Energy Saving mode. This means the monitor will automatically adjust the screen brightness depending on the amount of light it senses around it.
While this feature can save your battery life, it is often more of an annoyance than a help, especially if you work near a window. Because this is a built-in feature, you will not be able to simply adjust the screen’s display brightness. The Energy Saving feature itself will need to be disabled.
