- Select: Press the joystick inward to confirm a selection.
- Exit: Move the joystick left repeatedly to go back or exit the menu.
3. Key Settings and Features
- Refresh Rate: The monitor supports up to 190Hz refresh rate. Ensure your graphics card settings are configured to utilize the maximum refresh rate for the smoothest experience.
- Response Time (1ms MPRT): This feature minimizes motion blur. It can be enabled via the OSD menu. Note that MPRT may disable other features like HDR or FreeSync depending on the specific setting.
- HDR400: For enhanced contrast and color, enable HDR in both the monitor's OSD and your operating system's display settings. The monitor supports HDR400, providing a peak brightness of 400 cd/m².

- FreeSync Compatibility: This technology synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your graphics card's frame rate to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. Enable FreeSync in the OSD menu and your graphics card control panel.
- Eye Care (Low Blue Light & Flicker-Free): These features reduce eye strain during prolonged use. Low blue light filters harmful blue light emissions, and flicker-free technology eliminates screen flickering. These can be toggled in the OSD menu.
