3. Display Performance Settings
Refresh Rate:
The monitor supports a maximum refresh rate of 180Hz via DisplayPort and 144Hz via HDMI. To achieve higher refresh rates, ensure your graphics card and cable support the desired frequency, and configure the setting in your operating system's display settings.

Response Time:
The monitor features a 1ms response time (Overdrive). This reduces motion blur and ghosting, particularly beneficial for fast-paced gaming.

Adaptive Sync (G-Sync Compatible/FreeSync):
This monitor is compatible with G-Sync and FreeSync technologies, which synchronize the monitor's refresh rate with your graphics card's frame rate. This eliminates screen tearing and minimizes stuttering for a smoother gaming experience. Ensure this feature is enabled in your graphics card control panel and the monitor's OSD if available.

Eye Care Features:
The monitor includes Flicker-Free technology and a Low Blue Light mode to reduce eye strain during prolonged use. These features can be adjusted or enabled through the OSD menu.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Monitor:
- Always unplug the monitor from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the screen and exterior surfaces.
- For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive screen cleaner. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the screen.
- Avoid using benzene, thinner, ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the monitor's surface.
