FAQs

What is the native resolution of this monitor?

The native resolution is Full HD (1920 x 1080).

Can I use this monitor with an NVIDIA graphics card?

Yes, you can use this monitor with an NVIDIA graphics card. While it features AMD FreeSync, many NVIDIA GPUs (GTX 10-series or newer) are compatible with 'G-Sync Compatible' monitors over DisplayPort, enabling variable refresh rates. Check NVIDIA's official compatibility list and ensure your drivers are up to date.

Does this monitor have built-in speakers?

Info needed: [Does this monitor have built-in speakers?] If not, it will have a headphone jack for audio output.

What kind of cables do I need to achieve 180Hz?

To achieve the full 180Hz refresh rate at Full HD resolution, you will need a high-speed HDMI 2.0 cable or a DisplayPort 1.2 (or higher) cable.

Is this monitor suitable for professional photo or video editing?

While the monitor offers HDR10 support and good color reproduction for gaming, its Full HD resolution and focus on gaming features mean it might not be the ideal choice for professional photo or video editing where higher resolution and wider color gamut coverage (like Adobe RGB or DCI-P3) are often preferred for critical work.

How do I activate the Crosshair feature?

The Crosshair feature can be activated through the monitor's On-Screen Display (OSD) menu, usually accessed via the joystick at the bottom of the monitor. Navigate to the 'Game Adjust' or 'Game Mode' section and select 'Crosshair'. Note that it cannot be used simultaneously with the FPS Counter.

Can I mount this monitor on a VESA arm?

Yes, this monitor is VESA mount compatible, allowing you to use it with a compatible wall mount or monitor arm. Info needed: [VESA mount size, e.g., 100x100mm].

Troubleshooting

No image on screen / 'No Signal' message

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and the power outlet. 2. Verify that the display cable (HDMI/DisplayPort) is firmly connected to both the monitor and your PC's graphics card or console. 3. Try using a different input port on the monitor, or a different display cable if available. 4. Check if your PC is outputting to the correct display (Windows: Press Windows Key + P, then select 'Duplicate' or 'Extend').

Screen tearing or stuttering during gaming

Cannot achieve 180Hz refresh rate

Check your display settings in your operating system (Windows: Display Settings > Advanced display settings > Display adapter properties > Monitor tab, set 'Screen refresh rate' to 180Hz). 2. Ensure your graphics card supports 180Hz output at Full HD resolution. 3. Use a certified high-speed HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2 (or higher) cable.

Dark areas are too dark, or colors seem off

Adjust the 'Black Stabilizer' setting in the monitor's OSD menu to your preference. 2. If viewing HDR content, ensure HDR is enabled in your operating system's display settings and that the content supports HDR10. 3. Calibrate your monitor's color settings (brightness, contrast, gamma) using the OSD or dedicated calibration software.

Monitor does not swivel or tilt correctly
