This cable can transmit both video signal and power. For optimal brightness and to prevent flickering, especially with demanding applications or if your device's USB-C port has limited power output, connect the included USB-C power adapter to the monitor's second USB-C port.
• HDMI Connection: Use the provided HDMI cable to connect the monitor to devices such as PCs, laptops, or game consoles (PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox). When using HDMI, a separate USB-C power connection to the monitor is required using the included USB-C power adapter.

Ensure all cables are securely connected to their respective ports on both the monitor and your device.
