Troubleshooting

Screen tearing or stuttering during gameplay

Ensure G-SYNC or FreeSync is enabled in both the Windows display settings and the monitor's OSD menu.

Refresh rate is locked below 1000 Hz

Verify you are using a high-bandwidth DisplayPort 2.1 or HDMI 2.1 cable and that your GPU supports the high refresh rate output.

AI Sound or Scene features seem inconsistent

Check if the AI features are set to 'Auto' in the OSD settings; try manually switching them off to see if the behavior stabilizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, connect the monitor using the included DisplayPort 2.1 or HDMI 2.1 cables to support the maximum refresh rate.

Assembly: Attach the ergonomic stand to the rear VESA mount point until you hear a click.
Drivers: Visit the official LG support page to download the latest display drivers for G-SYNC compatibility.
Cable Management: Use the integrated cable clip on the stand neck to keep your setup clean.
