Operating the Monitor
On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu
The OSD menu allows you to adjust various monitor settings. Access the OSD menu by pressing the OSD button (refer to your monitor's physical buttons for exact location, often a joystick or a series of buttons on the back/bottom).
Common OSD Menu Options:

- Color Settings: Fine-tune RGB values, select preset color modes (e.g., Standard, Game, Movie).
- Input Select: Manually switch between DisplayPort and HDMI inputs.

Adaptive Sync (FreeSync/G-Sync Compatibility)
The Duex DX315G monitor supports Adaptive Sync technology, compatible with both AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync (when enabled in your graphics card control panel). This technology synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your GPU's frame rate, reducing screen tearing and stuttering for a smoother gaming experience. Ensure it is enabled in the monitor's OSD menu and your graphics card software.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Monitor
- Screen: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a non-ammonia, non-alcohol based screen cleaner. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the screen.
- Casing: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the monitor casing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Storage
If storing the monitor for an extended period, disconnect all cables, pack it in its original packaging (if available), and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
