Troubleshooting
Monitor not turning on
Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the monitor and a working wall outlet. Check if the power button is pressed. If using USB-C, ensure the cable supports power delivery and is correctly connected.
No image or flickering screen
Verify that the video cable (USB-C or HDMI) is securely connected at both ends. Try a different cable or port. Ensure your computer's graphics drivers are up to date. Check if the input source is correctly selected on the monitor's OSD menu.
Color mismatch with MacBook
Ensure you are using the BenQ color-tuning technology, potentially through the Display Pilot 2 software. Verify color profiles in your macOS settings are correctly applied. Use the P3 color gamut settings if available.
USB-C not charging MacBook or providing display
Confirm your MacBook's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and Power Delivery. Ensure the USB-C cable used is rated for at least 90W Power Delivery and supports data/video transmission. Check the monitor's OSD settings to ensure USB-C functionality is enabled.
Built-in speakers not producing sound
Check that the monitor is selected as the audio output device in your computer's sound settings. Ensure the volume is turned up on both the computer and the monitor's OSD menu. Verify that the audio drivers are installed and up to date.
Buttons on the monitor are unresponsive
Ensure there isn't an OSD lock enabled. Try restarting the monitor by unplugging the power cord for 30 seconds and plugging it back in.
