4.3 Key Features and Settings

• 165Hz Refresh Rate & 1ms MPRT Response Time: Ensure your graphics card settings are configured to output 165Hz for the smoothest experience. The 1ms Moving Picture Response Time (MPRT) reduces motion blur.
• AMD FreeSync Premium: This technology synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your AMD GPU's frame rate to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. Enable FreeSync in your graphics card control panel and on the monitor's OSD menu.
• Low Input Lag Mode: The AOC Low Input Lag mode bypasses certain internal processing to deliver a more direct signal from your input device to the display, reducing latency. This can be enabled via the OSD menu.
• Picture Modes: The OSD menu offers various picture modes (e.g., Standard, Game, Text) optimized for different content types. Adjust brightness, contrast, and color temperature as needed.
• Curved Display (1500R): The 1500R curvature provides an immersive viewing experience, especially beneficial for gaming and multimedia.

• Cleaning the Screen: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a specialized screen cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
