Troubleshooting

No power or display signal

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to the monitor and a working outlet. Verify that the input source is correctly selected on the monitor. If using USB-C, confirm the cable supports video output and power delivery, and that your device's USB-C port is enabled for these functions.

Poor image quality or flickering

Check that the display cable (USB-C, DisplayPort, or HDMI) is fully inserted at both ends. Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date. Try lowering the screen resolution or refresh rate temporarily to see if the issue persists. Verify that Eye-Care features are not inadvertently causing visual artifacts.

USB-C connection not charging laptop or transferring data

Confirm that the USB-C cable used is rated for at least 65W power delivery and supports data transfer. Ensure your laptop's USB-C port is also compatible with these features. Try a different USB-C cable or port on your laptop.

Microphone or speakers not working

If connected via USB-C, ensure the monitor is recognized as the audio input/output device in your operating system's sound settings. If connected via DisplayPort or HDMI, the monitor's audio features may not be active; use a separate audio connection or switch to USB-C. Check that the microphone is not muted via the on-screen controls.

Daisy-chaining not functioning

Verify that both monitors support DisplayPort 1.2 or higher for daisy-chaining. Ensure the DisplayPort cable is connected correctly from the primary monitor's output to the secondary monitor's input. Check that DisplayPort MST (Multi-Stream Transport) is enabled in the monitor's settings, if applicable.

Cons

  • Energy efficiency class F may lead to higher energy consumption compared to other models.
  • The noise-canceling microphone functionality is limited to USB-C connections with laptops and external PCs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect your computer to the monitor using the provided USB-C cable for a single-cable solution, or use the DisplayPort or HDMI inputs. Ensure the USB-C cable supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and Power Delivery for full functionality. Connect peripherals to the monitor's USB-A and USB-C downstream ports. The monitor is VESA mount compatible (100x100mm) if you prefer to use an external mounting solution.

Compatibility: The GW2790QT is compatible with most modern operating systems, including Windows and macOS. For optimal performance, ensure your computer's graphics card supports the 2560x1440 resolution at 75 Hz. The USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and 65W Power Delivery, which requires a compatible USB-C port on your laptop or device.

Care: Clean the screen with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a slightly damp cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the screen. Dust the monitor regularly and ensure ventilation ports are clear. The integrated microphone and speakers require no specific maintenance beyond keeping the monitor clean.
