FAQs

What is the difference between 240Hz and a lower refresh rate like 144Hz?

A 240Hz refresh rate means the screen updates 240 times per second, compared to 144 times for a 144Hz monitor. This results in smoother motion, reduced input lag, and a clearer image during fast-paced action, giving competitive gamers a distinct advantage.

Is this monitor good for productivity tasks, not just gaming?

Yes, the 24.5-inch Full HD resolution and wide viewing angles make it suitable for general productivity. The 120% sRGB coverage is also beneficial for creative work. However, for extensive text work, some users may prefer a higher resolution or larger screen size.

Do I need a specific graphics card for AMD FreeSync Premium to work?

Yes, AMD FreeSync Premium is designed to work with compatible AMD Radeon graphics cards. While some NVIDIA cards may offer G-SYNC compatibility, for the best experience, an AMD GPU is recommended.

What does 'HDR Ready' mean for this monitor?

HDR Ready (HDR10) means the monitor can display High Dynamic Range content with improved contrast and color. It supports the HDR10 standard, offering a wider range of brightness and colors than standard monitors, though it may not reach the peak brightness levels of premium HDR displays.

How do I enable the 240Hz refresh rate?

After connecting the monitor, you need to set the refresh rate in your operating system's display settings (e.g., Windows Display Settings). Ensure you are using a DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.0 cable capable of supporting this high refresh rate.

What is the warranty period for the GIGABYTE G25F2A?

The GIGABYTE G25F2A comes with a 3-year warranty period.

Does this monitor have built-in speakers?

Yes, this monitor features built-in speakers with an RMS rated power of 4W (2 x 2W).

Can I mount this monitor on an arm?

Yes, the monitor supports VESA mounting with a standard 100 x 100 mm interface, allowing you to attach it to compatible monitor arms or wall mounts.

Troubleshooting

Monitor does not power on

Ensure the AC 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 signal detected on screen

Verify that the video cable (HDMI or DisplayPort) is firmly connected to both the monitor and the graphics card. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor via the OSD menu. Test with a different cable or port if possible.

Screen tearing or stuttering

Enable AMD FreeSync Premium in the monitor's OSD menu and in your graphics card's control panel. Ensure your graphics card is set to output at the monitor's maximum refresh rate (240Hz).

Colors appear washed out or inaccurate

Adjust the color settings (e.g., saturation, color temperature) via the OSD menu. Ensure the monitor is set to the correct color profile (e.g., sRGB). Check that HDR is enabled only when viewing HDR content.

Monitor emits a high-pitched noise

This can sometimes occur at specific refresh rates or brightness levels. Try adjusting the refresh rate or brightness settings in the OSD. If persistent, contact customer support.

Eyes feel strained after prolonged use

Ensure Eyesafe 2.0 technology is enabled in the OSD. Adjust screen brightness to match ambient lighting. Take regular breaks (e.g., the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds).
