Operating Instructions
On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu
The monitor features an On-Screen Display (OSD) menu for adjusting various settings. Use the control buttons located on the monitor (typically on the back or bottom edge) to navigate the OSD menu.
Key Features and Settings
- Adaptive Sync: This technology synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your graphics card's frame rate, reducing screen tearing and stuttering for a smoother gaming experience. Enable this feature in your graphics card settings and on the monitor's OSD if applicable.
- Overdrive: Overdrive pre-calculates and accelerates specific pixels, significantly reducing response times for both black-and-white and color nuance changes, resulting in clearer motion.
- Low Blue Light: The Low Blue Light filter reduces the emission of harmful blue light from the screen, minimizing eye strain and fatigue during prolonged use. This feature can be adjusted via the OSD menu.
- Picture-by-Picture (PbP) / Picture-in-Picture (PiP):
- PbP: Allows you to display content from two different input sources side-by-side on the same screen.
- PiP: Displays the image from a second source as a smaller, scalable window (up to 25% of original size) that can be positioned anywhere on the main screen.
- FPS / RTS Modes: Dedicated display modes optimized for First Person Shooter (FPS) and Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games. These modes enhance visibility and provide a better gaming experience by adjusting display parameters.
- Pivot Feature: The monitor can be rotated 90 degrees to a vertical (portrait) orientation. This is particularly useful for reading documents, coding, or web browsing.

Note: After physically rotating the monitor, you must adjust the display orientation settings within your operating system (e.g., Windows Display Settings) to match the new physical orientation.
- Height Adjustable Stand & Cable Management: The integrated stand allows for height adjustment to achieve an ergonomic viewing position. Cables can be neatly routed through the stand's built-in cable management system to maintain a tidy workspace.

- Cleaning the Casing: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the monitor's casing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings on the monitor are not blocked to prevent overheating.
- Power Off: Always power off the monitor and unplug it from the power outlet before cleaning or if it will not be used for an extended period.
