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 power outlet. Check if the power sync feature is enabled and compatible with your connected Dell PC.

Verify that the video cable (HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C) is firmly connected to both the monitor and your computer. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor via the OSD menu. Restart both the monitor and your computer.

Poor image quality or flickering

Check the video cable for damage and ensure it is fully inserted. Adjust the display resolution and refresh rate in your operating system's display settings to match the monitor's capabilities (2560x1440 at 60Hz). Update your graphics card drivers.

USB-C not charging laptop or not transferring data/video

Confirm that your laptop and the USB-C cable support DisplayPort Alternate Mode and USB Power Delivery (up to 90W). Ensure the USB-C cable is fully connected to both the monitor and the laptop. Check the USB-C port settings on your laptop.

Auto KVM not switching PCs

Ensure both PCs are connected to the monitor and powered on. Verify that the Auto KVM feature is enabled in the monitor's OSD menu. Check that your keyboard and mouse are connected to the monitor's USB-A downstream ports.

Colors appear inaccurate

Calibrate the monitor using your operating system's color calibration tool or dedicated calibration software and hardware. Ensure the correct color preset (e.g., sRGB, DCI-P3) is selected in the OSD menu, or disable any color enhancements if you are using external calibration.
