Troubleshooting
No image displayed
Ensure the monitor is powered on and all cables are securely connected to both the monitor and the source device. Verify that the correct input source is selected on the monitor using the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu. Try a different cable or port if possible.
Screen tearing or stuttering
Enable AMD FreeSync Premium or G-Sync Compatible in the monitor's OSD menu and in your graphics card's control panel. Ensure your graphics card meets the minimum requirements and that the display cable (preferably DisplayPort) supports the necessary bandwidth. Lower in-game graphics settings if your GPU cannot maintain stable frame rates.
Image appears distorted or resolution is incorrect
Check that the monitor is set to its native resolution of 3440x1440 in your operating system's display settings. Ensure the graphics drivers are up to date.
Monitor not powering on
Confirm the power cable is firmly plugged into the monitor and a working wall outlet. Try a different power outlet. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Flickering image
Check cable connections for looseness. Update your graphics card drivers. If the flickering occurs at specific refresh rates, try adjusting the refresh rate in your display settings or ensure FreeSync/G-Sync is configured correctly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Highly immersive 1500R curved ultrawide screen.
Very high 180Hz refresh rate for exceptionally smooth motion.
Fast 1ms response time minimizes blur in action sequences.
Combines FreeSync and G-Sync compatibility for broad GPU support.
HDR10 support enhances visual fidelity with better contrast and color.
Cons
Requires a powerful PC to fully leverage the 180Hz refresh rate at WQHD resolution.
VA panels can sometimes exhibit slower pixel response in dark transitions compared to IPS.
Ultrawide aspect ratio may require adjusting game settings or content may have black bars.
3000:1 contrast ratio is good for a VA panel, but might not match the perfect blacks of OLED.
Built-in speakers are not mentioned, implying external audio may be necessary.
