4.2. Connecting to Devices
The monitor offers flexible connectivity options:
4.2.1. USB-C One Cable Connection (Full Function Type-C)
If your device (laptop, smartphone, etc.) has a full-function USB-C port (supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode and Power Delivery), you can connect it to the monitor using a single USB-C to USB-C cable. This cable will transmit video, audio, and power simultaneously.
Figure 4: USB-C One Cable Connection.
Note:
- Ensure your device's USB-C port supports video output (DisplayPort Alt Mode) and Power Delivery.
- If the monitor's brightness is set above 85%, or if your connected device requires more power, it is recommended to connect an external power supply to the monitor's dedicated power port or the second Type-C port.
4.2.2. HDMI Connection
For devices with an HDMI output (e.g., gaming consoles like PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or laptops without full-function USB-C), use the provided HDMI to Micro HDMI cable. You will also need to connect the monitor to an external power source using the USB-A to USB-C power cable and power adapter.
- Connect one end of the HDMI to Micro HDMI cable to your device's HDMI output and the Micro HDMI end to the monitor's Micro HDMI port.
- Connect the USB-A to USB-C power cable to the monitor's power input port and the other end to the power adapter, then plug into a wall outlet.

- Via External Power Adapter: Use the provided USB-A to USB-C power cable and power adapter connected to a wall outlet. This is required for HDMI connections and recommended for USB-C connections when high brightness is desired or the source device cannot provide enough power.
