Troubleshooting
No image displayed / Screen is blank
Ensure the monitor is powered on and the power cable is securely connected. Verify that the video cable (HDMI or DisplayPort) is properly connected to both the monitor and the computer. Check that the correct input source is selected on the monitor using the OSD button. Try a different video cable or port if available.
Image is distorted or has incorrect colors
Check the video cable connection. Ensure the monitor's resolution is set to its native 2560 x 1440 at 75Hz via your computer's display settings. Calibrate the monitor's color settings through the OSD menu or your operating system's display calibration tool.
USB ports are not working
Confirm that the USB Type-B upstream cable is connected between the monitor and your computer. Ensure the monitor is powered on. Try connecting a different USB device to test functionality. Restart your computer.
Monitor screen flickers
Verify the video cable connection is secure at both ends. Ensure the refresh rate is set to 75Hz in your computer's display settings, as higher or unstable refresh rates can cause flickering. Check if the issue persists with the monitor's built-in eye-care features enabled or disabled.
Monitor not detected by computer
Ensure the USB Type-B upstream cable is connected. Restart both the monitor and the computer. Update your computer's graphics card drivers. Try connecting the monitor to a different USB port on your computer.
