The monitor features an On-Screen Control system for easy adjustment of settings. Typically, a joystick button located at the bottom center of the monitor allows navigation through the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu.
Display Settings
Optimize your viewing experience by adjusting the following settings:
- Resolution: The native resolution for this monitor is WFHD (2560 x 1080). For optimal clarity, ensure your computer's display settings match this resolution. If using HDMI 1080i 60/50 Hz (interlaced), screen flickering may occur; change the resolution to 1080P or the recommended setting.
