How do I enable the 170Hz overclocked refresh rate?

Troubleshooting
Monitor does not power on
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on. Try a different power outlet.
No signal or black screen
Verify that the video cable (DisplayPort or HDMI) is firmly connected to both the monitor and the graphics card. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor's OSD menu. Update your graphics card drivers.
Screen flickering or motion blur
Adjust the refresh rate in your operating system's display settings and the monitor's OSD. Ensure Adaptive-Sync is enabled if supported by your graphics card and that it's configured correctly. Check response time settings.
Colors appear inaccurate or washed out
Calibrate the monitor using your operating system's calibration tools or third-party software. Adjust the color settings in the OSD menu, particularly brightness, contrast, and color temperature. Ensure the correct color space (e.g., DCI-P3) is selected if applicable.
USB ports not working
Confirm that the USB upstream cable is connected from the monitor to a USB port on your computer. Ensure the necessary drivers for the USB hub are installed. Try connecting a different USB device to test functionality.
