Troubleshooting

Monitor does not power on

Check that the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and the power outlet. Try a different power outlet. Ensure the power button on the monitor is pressed.

No image displayed / 'No Signal' message

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

Screen tearing or stuttering

Ensure that AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-SYNC is enabled in the monitor's OSD menu and in your graphics card's control panel. Make sure you are using a DisplayPort connection for optimal FreeSync/G-SYNC performance. Update your graphics drivers.

Flickering screen

Check the video cable for damage and ensure it is securely connected. Try a different video cable. If using FreeSync/G-SYNC, try disabling it temporarily to see if the flickering stops. Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date.

Colors appear washed out or inaccurate

Adjust the color settings in the monitor's OSD menu. Calibrate the monitor using a colorimeter if precise color accuracy is required. Ensure the correct color profile is selected in your operating system.

USB hub not working

Ensure the USB upstream cable is connected from the monitor to your computer. Check that the USB hub is enabled in the monitor's OSD menu. Try connecting the USB device directly to your computer to rule out a device issue.
