5. OLED Care Protection
This monitor incorporates advanced features to enhance the longevity of the OLED panel and mitigate the risk of burn-in. These features include:
- Burn-in Protection: Images are shifted slightly at regular intervals to prevent static elements from causing permanent image retention.
- Static Screen Detection: The monitor can detect static elements like icons and taskbars and automatically reduce their brightness to minimize burn-in risk.
- Panel Maintenance: Users can manually activate panel maintenance through the OSD menu. The monitor may also provide optional notifications to initiate protective measures after extended use. This process can take 4-20 minutes, during which the display will turn off and LED lights will blink.
- Heat Dissipation: A heat dissipation array and graphene cooling film are integrated to manage the monitor's temperature, further reducing the risk of burn-in and extending the monitor's lifespan.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Monitor
- Always power off the monitor and disconnect the power cable before cleaning.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a non-abrasive screen cleaner.
- Do not spray cleaner directly onto the screen.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the screen and casing.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your monitor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Solution |

| Image is flickering or distorted | Check video cable connections. Try a different cable. Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date. Adjust refresh rate settings on your computer. |
| Colors appear incorrect | Adjust color settings (brightness, contrast, color temperature) in the OSD menu. Ensure your graphics card color settings are properly configured. |
| KVM switch not working | Ensure the USB-B upstream cable is connected from the monitor to the primary computer. If using USB-C, ensure it supports data transfer. Verify keyboard and mouse are connected to the monitor's USB-A downstream ports. Select the correct KVM input in the OSD. |
