Troubleshooting
Monitor does not power on
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. Check if the power button is pressed correctly.
No image displayed or 'No Signal' message
Verify that the correct input source (HDMI or DisplayPort) is selected in the OSD menu. Check that the video cable is firmly connected to both the monitor and your computer/console. Ensure your computer/console is powered on and outputting a signal.
Screen tearing or stuttering
Ensure Adaptive Sync is enabled in the monitor's OSD settings. For PC users, ensure that V-Sync is enabled in your graphics card's control panel and that your graphics card drivers are up to date. Check that your frame rate is within the monitor's supported range (48-180Hz).
Colors appear washed out or inaccurate
Adjust the brightness, contrast, and color settings in the OSD. Calibrate the monitor using your operating system's color management tools or dedicated calibration software. Ensure the correct color profile is selected.
Pixel defects (dead or stuck pixels)
Minor pixel defects can sometimes be resolved with software utilities designed to cycle colors rapidly. If the issue persists and the number of defects exceeds the manufacturer's tolerance, contact MSI support for warranty service.
