• Fuzzy or Distorted Image: Check the display resolution settings on your computer to ensure they match the monitor's native resolution (1920x1080). Try adjusting the phase and clock settings in the OSD menu if using a VGA connection.
• No Audio: If using the monitor's built-in speakers or connected headphones, ensure the audio cable is connected (if applicable) and the volume is not muted or set too low in both the monitor's OSD and your computer's sound settings.
