Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the native resolution and aspect ratio of this monitor?

The monitor has a native resolution of 5120x1440 (Dual Quad HD) and an ultra-wide 32:9 aspect ratio.

Can I use this monitor with a Mac?

Yes, it is compatible with macOS. For best results, especially with USB-C connectivity and Power Delivery, ensure your Mac model supports these features.

What is the maximum refresh rate supported over HDMI?

The monitor supports HDMI 2.1, which can handle high refresh rates. For the full 240Hz at Dual QHD resolution, DisplayPort 1.4 is recommended, but HDMI 2.1 should also support high refresh rates depending on the source device's capabilities.

How does the KVM functionality work?

The KVM hub allows you to connect a single keyboard and mouse to the monitor's USB 3.0 ports. By switching the monitor's input source between two connected PCs, you switch control of your peripherals between those PCs without needing to change physical connections.

What is 90W USB-C Power Delivery used for?

The 90W USB-C port can deliver power to charge compatible laptops while simultaneously transmitting video and data signals, allowing you to use a single USB-C cable for your laptop connection.

Is the monitor height adjustable?

The monitor comes with a low-profile stand. For more adjustment options like height, tilt, and swivel, it is VESA-compatible (100x100mm) and can be mounted on an external monitor arm or stand.

What is the warranty period for this monitor?

Please refer to the manufacturer's official documentation or the retailer's product page for the most current and specific warranty information, as warranty terms can vary.

Troubleshooting

No image displayed / Monitor not turning on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Check that the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Try a different video cable or port on your PC.

Screen flickering or distorted image

Verify that the video cable is firmly connected at both ends. Update your graphics card drivers. If using USB-C, ensure your port supports DP Alt Mode and sufficient bandwidth. Try lowering the refresh rate or resolution temporarily to see if the issue persists.

USB-C not charging laptop or not displaying video

Confirm your laptop's USB-C port supports both DisplayPort Alternate Mode and 90W Power Delivery. Ensure you are using a high-quality USB-C cable rated for the required power and data speeds. Check your laptop's power settings.

KVM switch not working / Peripherals not recognized

Ensure the USB Type-B upstream cable is connected correctly from the monitor to the PC you want to control. Check that both PCs are connected to the monitor via video inputs. Restart both PCs and the monitor. Ensure USB drivers are installed correctly on both computers.

Low refresh rate or resolution options available

Verify that your graphics card and the connected cable support the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 for 240Hz at Dual QHD). Update your graphics card drivers. Ensure the correct input settings are selected on the monitor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the monitor and its included accessories.
  2. Attach the monitor to its stand or a VESA-compatible mount (100x100mm).
  3. Connect your PC or laptop using the appropriate input cables: DisplayPort 1.4 for maximum refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 for consoles or compatible laptops, or USB-C for a single-cable solution.
  4. If using USB-C for video and power, connect the USB-C cable to a compatible port on your device. Ensure your device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C and is compatible with 90W Power Delivery.
  5. Connect the USB Type-B upstream cable to your PC if you intend to use the USB 3.0 Type-A ports for peripherals or the KVM functionality.
  6. Connect your keyboard and mouse to the USB 3.0 Type-A ports on the monitor.
  7. Power on the monitor and select the correct input source.

Compatibility:

  • Connectivity: Supports DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, and USB Type-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode and 90W Power Delivery. Ensure your source devices have compatible ports.
  • KVM Functionality: Requires connecting both PCs to the monitor and running appropriate USB connections (upstream and peripheral ports).

Care:

  • Cleaning the Screen: Disconnect the monitor before cleaning. Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Never spray liquid directly onto the screen.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the monitor has adequate airflow around its vents to prevent overheating.
  • Cable Management: Regularly check cable connections for wear and tear. Use cable ties or sleeves to keep them organized and prevent damage.
