5. Operating

5.1 Monitor Operation

• Power On/Off: Use the power button located on the monitor to turn it on or off.
• OSD Navigation: The monitor features an On-Screen Display (OSD) menu for adjusting various settings. Use the joystick or buttons (depending on model variant) on the back or bottom of the monitor to navigate the OSD.
• Key Features:
  • 180Hz Refresh Rate: Ensure your graphics card settings are configured to output 180Hz for the smoothest visual experience. This can typically be set in your operating system's display settings or your graphics card control panel.

  • 1ms GTG Response Time & Fast IPS Panel: The monitor's Fast IPS panel and 1ms Gray-to-Gray (GTG) response time minimize motion blur and ghosting, providing a clear and responsive image, especially in fast-paced gaming.

  • AMD FreeSync Premium: To enable AMD FreeSync Premium, ensure your graphics card supports it and activate the feature in both your graphics card control panel and the monitor's OSD menu. This synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your GPU's frame rate, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering.
• Input Selection: Use the OSD to switch between DisplayPort and HDMI inputs as needed.

5.2 Monitor Arm Operation

The PS1S Wave monitor arm allows for flexible positioning of your monitor:

• Height Adjustment: Gently push or pull the monitor up or down to adjust its height. The spring mechanism will hold it in place.
• Tilt: Tilt the monitor screen up or down to find your optimal viewing angle.
• Swivel: Swivel the monitor left or right along the arm's joints.
• Rotate: Rotate the monitor 90 degrees for portrait or landscape orientation.
