4.1 On-Screen Control (OSC)

The monitor features On-Screen Control with Screen Split 2.0, allowing for easy access to monitor settings and screen layout customization.

The monitor includes dedicated features for an optimized gaming experience:

• Game Mode: Select from various game modes (e.g., First-Person Shooter, RTS pre-set) to optimize visual settings for different game genres.
• Black Stabilizer: Enhances visibility in dark scenes, allowing users to spot enemies hiding in shadows.

4.3 FreeSync Technology

This monitor supports AMD FreeSync, which synchronizes the refresh rate of the display with the frame rate of your AMD graphics card. This technology helps to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering, providing a smoother gaming experience. Note: FreeSync is only available when connected via DisplayPort.

To achieve 60Hz refresh rate over HDMI, you must enable "HDMI ULTRA HD Deep Color" mode in the monitor's settings. Access this via the joystick control on the bottom of the display: navigate to Menu > Picture > Picture Adjust, then enable HDMI Ultra HD Deep Color.

4.5 Display Adjustments

The monitor stand allows for tilt adjustment to find an optimal viewing angle. For height adjustments or other positional changes, a VESA-compatible mount can be used with the built-in VESA mount on the rear of the monitor.
