Troubleshooting

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and the power outlet. Try a different power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on.

No signal detected on screen

Verify that the video cable (HDMI or DisplayPort) is securely connected to both the monitor and the source device. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Try a different cable or port.

Screen flickering or tearing

Ensure G-SYNC or FreeSync is enabled in the monitor's OSD and in your graphics card's control panel. Check that your graphics drivers are up to date. Verify you are using the correct cable (DisplayPort recommended for highest refresh rates).

Image is not sharp or clear

Adjust the monitor's resolution in your operating system to 2560 x 1440. Ensure the monitor's sharpness settings are not too high or too low. Check the pixel pitch settings if available.

Colors appear inaccurate

Calibrate the monitor using its OSD settings or professional calibration tools. Ensure the color profile in your operating system is set correctly. Check if 'HP Eye Ease' or any other color-altering features are enabled and adjust as needed.

Built-in speakers have no sound

Check that the speakers are enabled in the monitor's OSD. Ensure the volume is turned up. Verify that the 3.5mm headphone jack is not connected, as this may disable the speakers. Confirm the audio output is set to the monitor in your device's sound settings.
