Screen flashed and stopped displaying widescreen

My LG W1934S montior has worked fine for months (years?), but recently while using, it flashed and then stopped displaying in widescreen. Now there are black bars on the sides and it is compressed looking. Any ideas how to fix?

Usually this is because the display has been changed from 16:9 (widescreen) mode to 4:3 (standard) mode. On the front panel there's a button labelled "4:3 in Wide." Press this button to return to Widescreen mode. If it says "OSD Locked" then you need to hold the "Menu" key for several seconds to unlock the controls, before changing it to widescreen.

If that doesn't correct the problem then you need to adjust your computer's output resolution to a 16:9 ratio like 1920x1080 (1080p) or 1280x720 (720p.)

    Thank you! I can't believe it was that simple. It seemed to come and go for no reason that I didn't think it could be such an easy fix.

You could have a faulty inverter board or a faulty CCFL lamp. The inverter supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp and the CCFL lamp is a mini fluro tube.

SOURCE: When I start up, the monitor flashes on, and sometimes

Hello,

It sounds like you have a monitor with a common problem. After a few years some LCD monitors will blow a power supply. The problem is usually caused by parts called capacitors overheating in the confined space of the monitor. If you are good at electronics repair/soldering you can usually fix the problem. Check out a few pictures on my web site www.ccl-la.com/badcaps.htm You can take the back cover off your monitor and look for the bad parts,replace any that look like the pictures and your monitor should work fine. The capacitors do need to be installed with the correct + and - connections, note the stripe on the old one and insert the new one the same way. If you don't want to try the repair yourself we offer a repair service for $35 plus shipping.

I hope this helps, if so please rate my solution.

SOURCE: my lg monitor has turned green

Hello,

This could be a sign that the monitor is failing, but it could also be a very simple solution as well. There should be two cables that come from the back of the monitor - one is the power cord and the other goes to the back of the computer. You will want to disconnect the cable from the back of the computer and then blow out the end with the pins in it (either with a deep breath or a can of compressed air. Now connect the cable back to the computer. You may need a screwdriver to remove the cable and you definitely want to make sure the cable is screwed in after you reinsert it even if it wasn't when you removed it.

If the display still shows a green tint, perform the same steps where the cable connects into the monitor. Some displays don't allow this part of the cable to be disconnected from the monitor, so you may be unable to perform this step.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Try turning it off and hold the power switch in for about a 30 seconds. This may help to reset the monitor. Afterwards, try and power it up again.

My LG FLATRON W1934S was working fine last night. went to turn it on this morning and nothing happened. no orange or blue lights and it wasnt left in sleep mode either. what could be wrong with it?

I would suspect a problem in the monitor power supply, either a fuse or possible bad filter caps especially if you had to turn it on several times to get it on just before it failed.

If you are able to open it here is what bad caps look like:

Your LG flatron resolution is 1366x768.. just change the settings on display properties at 1366x768, if there no available resolution, uninstall your display driver and reinstall your video driver, the process of driver installation detect your monitor resolution automatic <_>

What is the best method for cleanig a flatron

Take a clean cloth and spray some windex on the cloth and then wipe down the screen and it should come nice and clean. Never spray it directly on the screen cause if the liquid goes down inside of the screen then it could damage it.
