I just purchased an LG W2253V monitor, have it hooked up and working just fine but I am not getting any sound. What might be my problem and how might I test this sound?

The monitor does not have sound passthru feature so the speakers would not be able to work that way. You can connect the speakers to the Roku box in the audio out jacks. You will need to get a cable from radio shack to make the connection.

That's the sign of someone using a cleaning solution on the LCD. When cleaning LCDs, it's important to keep solution away from the edges. I use electronics wipes.
Search for electronics wipes for LCD

1. Check if your video cable is OK and fitted tight
2. RESET the monitor by setting to factory settings.
3. If not OK, try another video connector and/or other video cable.

The manual you can find here or here.

The DVI cable must be faulty as the card does work with the VGA cable as you have stated.

you will need to down load drivers for the monitors
get them from the monitors manufacturers web site down loads

Sounds like bad t-con circuit board

You have to look hereto see if it is compatible with Windows 7,

Otherwise you will need Windows 7 driver from LG if they have one.
Most monitors works fine without the need of the drivers when running XP, but Windows 7 you need the correct drivers to get the correct resolution setting, that is one of the reason I do not care much for Windows 7 until they fix this problem, since a lot of people out there that still have great working monitors that work just fine with XP, most manufacturers do not provide drivers for Windows 7 for old monitors because they want you to buy new monitors.

Mike sounds like the little bard in this monitor where the digital and analog connects to is in malfuction and can be purchased for $30 bucks on ebay. You tryed about everything I had on my list is why I come to this conclusion replacing this board will make the monitor work again if I where you I would investigate that.

Same problem started happening two days ago and ever since. I called LG and the product falls under a 3yr product warranty according to them (from my original purchase date of January 20, 2007). They will send packing slips to me so I can send the defective unit back to LG. I was told I am eligible for a replacement monitor - which will be shipped to me within 10 to 14 days (consecutive days, not business) - although I'm not sure what I'm being sent in return. My suspicion is that this monitor issue is a known issue by LG and they are quietly replacing the unit to those who follow through by calling CS.

Tips: Have your original purchase date on hand (in the form of a receipt) just in case they want proof of purchase.

easy way to find out go to bestbuy and purchase a video card and install it if everything works out its the video card if not then its the monitor that went bad if its still under warranty send it back and get a replacement,
