Troubleshooting

No image on screen or flickering display

Ensure all cables (power and signal) are securely connected at both ends. Try a different signal cable or port on your computer. Update your graphics card drivers.

Colors appear inaccurate or washed out

Verify that the correct color profile is selected in your operating system. Use the ASUS DisplayWidget Center or the monitor's OSD to adjust brightness, contrast, and color temperature. Ensure M Model color temperature is set correctly if using a MacBook.

Monitor is not recognized by the computer

Check the USB connection if using the USB hub. Reinstall graphics drivers on your computer. Ensure the monitor is powered on and the correct input source is selected.

USB hub ports are not working

Make sure the USB upstream connection (if applicable, usually via USB-C or a dedicated USB cable not specified in data) is properly connected. Try connecting a different USB device to rule out a device issue. Restart the computer.

Screen brightness seems too low or too high

Adjust the brightness setting via the OSD or ASUS DisplayWidget Center. Check if any power-saving modes or presets are active that might be limiting brightness. The ambient light sensor (ASUS Light Sync) can also be adjusted or disabled.
