FAQs

Does this monitor support Mac computers?

Yes, it is compatible with Mac devices via USB-C or HDMI, though confirm your Mac model supports the output resolution.

Can I use this for console gaming?

Yes, it supports HDMI connections, but keep in mind that most consoles do not support the native 32:9 aspect ratio and may display black bars on the sides.

Is the height adjustable?

Yes, the provided ergonomic stand allows for height, tilt, and swivel adjustments.

Can I use it as two separate monitors?

The monitor can be treated as one large desktop, but you can use window-snapping software to organize your workspace as if it were two distinct displays.

Does it have a headphone jack?

Yes, there is a dedicated headphone output port located on the monitor.

Troubleshooting

Monitor not charging laptop via USB-C

Ensure you are using a certified USB-C cable that supports both high-speed data and power delivery.

Refresh rate capped at 60Hz

Ensure the connected device supports the required bandwidth; check graphics driver settings and verify the use of a DisplayPort 1.4 cable.

KVM not switching between devices

Verify that the USB upstream cables are connected correctly to both source devices and that the input source is assigned in the monitor menu.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Massive screen real estate replaces dual-monitor setups
  • Excellent color reproduction for professional tasks
  • Single-cable USB-C docking with 90W charging
  • Smooth 144Hz refresh rate is great for both work and play
  • Built-in KVM switch simplifies multi-device management

Cons

  • Requires a very large desk surface
  • Dual QHD resolution requires a capable graphics card for high-refresh gaming
  • Fixed width means it cannot be angled like two separate monitors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: Given its 17.3kg weight (with stand), mount the monitor on a sturdy desk. Use the 100x100mm VESA interface if using a dedicated monitor arm.
  2. Connectivity: Use the USB-C port for primary laptop connections to leverage the 90W charging. Use DisplayPort 1.4 for high-refresh-rate gaming on desktop PCs.
  3. KVM Setup: Connect your mouse and keyboard to the monitor's downstream USB ports and define the KVM settings in the OSD menu to switch control between devices.
  4. Cleaning: Use a microfiber cloth for the screen; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can damage the anti-glare coating.
