Troubleshooting

No image on screen

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and the power outlet. Verify that the correct input source is selected on the monitor via the OSD menu. Check that the video cable (HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C) is properly connected to both the monitor and the computer.

Screen flickering or distorted image

Check the video cable connections for looseness. Try using a different compatible video cable. Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date. Lower the display resolution or refresh rate in your operating system's display settings.

USB-C not charging laptop or not displaying video

Confirm that your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and USB Power Delivery. Ensure the USB-C cable is rated for high data speeds and power delivery. Check the USB-C settings within your laptop's operating system.

Webcam not recognized by Windows Hello or applications

Make sure the webcam drivers are installed correctly. Check privacy settings in Windows to ensure camera access is allowed for specific applications. Restart the computer after connecting the monitor.

KVM switch not working

Ensure the USB cables connecting the monitor to both PCs are properly plugged in. Verify that the correct input source is selected for the KVM to function. Test peripherals on each PC individually to rule out device issues.
