Troubleshooting
Monitor does not power on
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working wall outlet. Try a different power outlet. Check if the power button is being pressed correctly.
No image displayed / 'No Signal' message
Verify that the video cable (HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C) is securely connected at both the monitor and computer ends. Ensure the correct input source is selected in the monitor's OSD menu. Restart both the monitor and the computer.
Screen flickering or tearing
If using AMD FreeSync, ensure it is enabled in the monitor's OSD and in your graphics card's control panel. Update your graphics card drivers. Try a different video cable, preferably a certified high-speed one.
USB hub not working
Confirm that the USB Type-B cable is connected between the monitor and your computer. Ensure the USB hub is enabled in the monitor's OSD settings. Try plugging devices into different USB ports on the monitor.
Colors appear washed out or inaccurate
Adjust the brightness, contrast, and color settings in the monitor's OSD. Ensure the correct color profile is selected in your operating system's display settings. Check if HDR is enabled or disabled, as this can affect color appearance.
Screen resolution or refresh rate options are limited
Verify that your graphics card drivers are up to date. Ensure the connected video cable supports the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., use DisplayPort or HDMI 2.1 for 170Hz at 5120x1440). Check the display settings in your operating system.
