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 illuminated. Try a different power outlet.
No signal detected on screen
Verify that the video cable (HDMI or DisplayPort) is firmly connected to both the monitor and the source device. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor's OSD menu. Try a different cable or port.
Screen flickering or tearing
If using a PC, ensure AMD FreeSync is enabled in the monitor's OSD and the corresponding driver settings. Update your graphics card drivers. If FreeSync is not applicable, check if V-Sync is enabled or disabled in game settings. Ensure the refresh rate is set correctly in your OS display settings.
Colors appear washed out or inaccurate
Adjust the color settings (brightness, contrast, gamma, color temperature) via the monitor's On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. Ensure the correct color space is selected if available. Calibrate the monitor using a colorimeter for optimal accuracy if needed.
Stuck or dead pixels
Minor stuck pixels might sometimes be resolved by running a pixel-fixing utility or gently massaging the affected area (refer to specific guides for this technique). Dead pixels are often a hardware defect; consult the warranty information for replacement options.
