Troubleshooting
No image or blank screen
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working outlet. Verify the video cable (Thunderbolt 4/USB-C, DisplayPort, HDMI) is firmly connected to both the monitor and your computer. Try a different port or cable if possible. Check that the monitor is powered on and the correct input source is selected.
Flickering or distorted image
Check the video cable connection for looseness or damage. Update your graphics card drivers. Ensure the resolution and refresh rate settings in your operating system are supported by the monitor. If using a Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C connection, ensure the cable is rated for the required bandwidth.
Color accuracy seems off
Ensure the correct color profile is selected in your operating system settings. If using macOS, verify that the 'Display Tuning' or similar setting is calibrated for your MacBook. Recalibrate the monitor using a colorimeter if precise color work is critical. Avoid using the monitor in direct sunlight or areas with fluctuating light conditions.
Laptop not charging via USB-C/Thunderbolt
Confirm that your laptop and the USB-C/Thunderbolt cable support Power Delivery (PD) up to 96W. Ensure the cable is fully inserted into both the monitor and the laptop. Try a different USB-C/Thunderbolt port on the monitor or laptop, or a different compatible cable.
KVM switch not working correctly
Ensure all necessary cables (USB-B to USB-A/C for each device) are connected to the KVM's hub ports and your computers. Restart both the monitor and connected computers. Verify that the KVM function is enabled in the monitor's OSD menu.
