Connecting to Devices:
The WUAWE portable monitor offers versatile connectivity options:
- USB-C to USB-C Connection (Single Cable Solution):
For devices with a full-featured USB-C port (supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode and power delivery), use the included USB-C to USB-C cable. This single cable can transmit both video signal and power to the monitor.
Note: Ensure your device's USB-C port supports Thunderbolt 3.0 or USB 3.1 Type C DP ALT-MODE for full functionality. USB 2.0/1.0 ports do not support video output.
- Mini HDMI to HDMI Connection (Video Only) + USB-C for Power:
For devices that lack a full-featured USB-C port (e.g., older laptops, PCs, gaming consoles), use the included Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable for video transmission. Additionally, connect the monitor to a power source using the USB-C to USB-A cable and a power adapter (or a USB-A port on your device).

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display/"No Signal" message | Incorrect input source selected; Cable not properly connected; Device not outputting video; Insufficient power. | Check cable connections (USB-C, HDMI). Ensure your device's USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode. Select the correct input source via the OSD menu. Ensure the monitor is receiving sufficient power. Restart your connected device. |
| Screen flickering/Unstable display | Loose cable connection; Power fluctuations; HDR mode issues. | Ensure cables are securely connected. Try a different power outlet or adapter. If using HDR, try disabling it in the OSD menu or on your device, as SDR often provides a more stable image. |
| No sound from speakers/headphone jack | Volume too low; Muted; Incorrect audio output selected on device. | Increase volume via the OSD menu or your connected device. Check if the monitor or device is muted. Ensure the monitor is selected as the audio output device on your computer/console. |
| Monitor not turning on | No power; Faulty power cable/adapter. | Verify power connection. Try a different power outlet. Ensure the power button is pressed. |
| Image is washed out or colors are incorrect | Incorrect color settings; HDR mode enabled. | Adjust color settings in the OSD menu. If HDR is enabled, try disabling it, as some users report better color accuracy in SDR mode. |
