Display Settings: Resolution, Refresh Rate, Aspect Ratio.
Audio Settings: Volume for built-in speakers or headphone output.
System Settings: Language, OSD Timeout, Power options.

2. Refresh Rate and Adaptive Sync

The monitor supports a native 320Hz refresh rate, overclockable to 330Hz. To enable 330Hz overclocking, select it in the OSD menu under 'Game Assistance' -> 'Picture Enhancement' -> 'Overclock'.

Comparison of 330Hz and 144Hz refresh rates in a gaming scenario, showing smoother visuals at higher refresh rates. — Figure 5: Visual difference between 330Hz and 144Hz refresh rates.

The monitor also supports Adaptive Sync technology. When your graphics card supports FreeSync or G-Sync, the monitor can automatically adjust the refresh rate based on the content's frame rate, providing smooth, tear-free visuals. This feature is particularly beneficial for gaming.

3. Game Modes and MPCS Technology

The monitor offers exclusive game modes and MPCS (MiniLED Picture Clarity System) Dynamic Clarity Technology to enhance your gaming experience.

Under MPCS/ULL mode, the game is specifically tuned for FPS games, reducing delay and minimizing dynamic image blurring. The early wake-up function helps dissipate the "halo effect" for quicker enemy detection.

Comparison of MPCS Technology MiniLED Display, OLED display, and Traditional MiniLED display, highlighting improved clarity and reduced halo effects with MPCS. — Figure 7: MPCS Dynamic Clarity Technology comparison.

4. E-sports Atmosphere Backlighting

The back of the monitor features a "starlight" ambient light. You can set it to seven-color rhythmic lighting or a single-color ambient light to create an immersive gaming atmosphere.
