FAQs

What is the maximum charging power delivered via USB-C?

The monitor supports USB Power Delivery 3.0, delivering up to 90W to charge compatible laptops.

Can I use this monitor with a Mac and a Windows PC?

Yes, the monitor is compatible with both macOS and Windows operating systems. USB-C docking and Power Delivery features work best with modern laptops that support these standards.

How does the Pop-up Webcam with Windows Hello work?

The webcam is integrated into the monitor bezel and pops up when needed. It uses advanced sensors for Windows Hello facial recognition, allowing you to log into your Windows device securely and quickly by recognizing your face. It tucks back into the monitor for privacy when not in use.

What is the benefit of the TUV Eye Comfort certification?

It signifies that the monitor meets stringent standards to reduce eye strain. This includes flicker-free technology, a LowBlue Mode to filter harmful blue light, reduced glare, and ergonomic adjustments, promoting comfortable viewing during long work periods.

Does this monitor support higher refresh rates for gaming?

The monitor has a maximum refresh rate of 60 Hz, which is suitable for productivity and general use. It is not optimized for high-end, competitive gaming that requires refresh rates significantly above 60 Hz.

How does PowerSensor save energy?

PowerSensor detects if a user is present in front of the monitor using harmless infrared signals. If no user is detected for a set period, it automatically dims the screen or even turns it off, significantly reducing power consumption when the monitor is not actively being used.

What type of panel technology does this monitor use?

This monitor uses an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel, which provides wide viewing angles (178° horizontal and vertical) and excellent color accuracy, making it ideal for color-sensitive tasks and general viewing.

Troubleshooting

No image displayed on the screen

Ensure the monitor is powered on and all cables (power, video, USB-C) are securely connected at both ends. Try a different video cable or input port. Check if the correct input source is selected on the monitor's OSD menu.

Laptop is not charging via USB-C

Verify that the USB-C cable is connected to the correct port on both the monitor and the laptop. Ensure the laptop's USB-C port supports Power Delivery (PD) and that the power delivery wattage (up to 90W) is sufficient for your laptop's requirements. Check the OSD settings for USB-C Power Delivery options.

Webcam not recognized or not working

Ensure the webcam is popped up. Check if the webcam drivers are installed correctly on your operating system. Restart your computer. If using Windows Hello, ensure it is configured properly in Windows settings.

Screen flickering or image distortion

Check for loose cable connections. Try a different video cable. Ensure the display resolution and refresh rate settings on your computer are supported by the monitor (e.g., 3840x2160 at 60Hz). Disable any screen enhancement software temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.

USB peripherals connected to the hub are not working

Disconnect and reconnect the USB-C cable to the laptop. Ensure the USB hub is enabled in the monitor's OSD settings. Try connecting peripherals directly to the laptop to rule out a peripheral issue.
