What is MPRT and how does it affect gameplay?

MPRT stands for Moving Picture Response Time. It reduces motion blur by controlling backlight duration, resulting in a smoother visual experience during fast-paced action.

Can I use this monitor with a Mac or console?

What is AdaptiveSync?

AdaptiveSync synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your graphics card's frame output, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering for a smoother gaming experience. It's compatible with AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible cards.

What is the warranty period for this monitor?

The monitor comes with a 3-year warranty period.

How do I adjust monitor settings like brightness or refresh rate?

Troubleshooting

Monitor does not power on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Check if the power LED indicator is lit. Try a different power outlet.

No image displayed / "No Signal" message

Verify that the video cable (HDMI or DisplayPort) is securely connected to both the monitor and the computer. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Restart your computer.

Screen flickering or stuttering

Ensure AdaptiveSync is enabled and compatible with your graphics card. Check if your graphics card drivers are up to date. Lower the refresh rate temporarily to see if the issue persists. Ensure the display cable is not damaged.

Image is blurry or has ghosting

Ensure the response time settings are correctly configured. Enable the `Motion blur reduction` feature. Check if the `0.5ms MPRT` setting is active. Ensure you are using the recommended refresh rate for your system.

Colors appear washed out or inaccurate

Adjust the color settings via the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu or the G-Menu software. Ensure HDR10 is enabled if you are viewing HDR content. Consider using a color calibration tool for precise settings.
