How do I enable the Eye Saver Mode?

What is the VESA mounting pattern?
The monitor supports standard VESA mounting with a 100 x 100 mm pattern, allowing you to attach it to compatible monitor arms or wall mounts.
Troubleshooting
No image or "No Signal" message
Ensure the video cable (HDMI/DisplayPort) is securely connected to both the monitor and the computer. Verify the correct input source is selected on the monitor via the OSD menu. Restart both the monitor and the computer. Try a different cable or port if available.
Screen flickering or lines appearing
Check cable connections for looseness or damage. Try a different video cable. Ensure graphics drivers on your computer are up to date. If the issue persists, try disabling Flicker-Free technology in the monitor's OSD settings.
USB devices not recognized
Confirm that the USB upstream cable is connected between the monitor and the computer. Ensure the monitor is powered on. Try connecting the USB device directly to the computer to rule out a device issue. Restart the computer.
Colors appear washed out or inaccurate
Adjust color settings in the monitor's OSD menu, including brightness, contrast, and color temperature. Check your computer's display settings and graphics card control panel for any color calibration profiles or adjustments that might be interfering. Ensure the correct color coverage (e.g., NTSC 72%) is being utilized.
Monitor does not power on
Verify the power cable is securely plugged into the monitor and a working power outlet. Try a different power outlet. Ensure the power switch on the monitor (if applicable) is in the 'on' position.
