Cleaning the Screen

Always turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord before cleaning.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a specialized screen cleaner.

Avoid using abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or ammonia-based solutions, as they can damage the screen surface.

Ensure adequate ventilation around the monitor to prevent overheating.
Do not place heavy objects on the monitor or its cables.
Avoid touching the screen with sharp objects.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Solution
No image on screen	Ensure the power cable is securely connected and the monitor is turned on. Check that the video cable (DP/HDMI) is properly connected to both the monitor and your computer. Select the correct input source via the OSD menu. Try connecting the monitor to another device to rule out a computer issue.
No sound from speakers	Increase the volume using the OSD menu or your computer's sound settings. Ensure the monitor is not muted in the OSD menu. Verify that the audio output is set to the monitor in your computer's sound settings. If using external speakers, ensure they are connected correctly and powered on.
Image flickering or distortion	Check the video cable for damage or loose connections. Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date. Adjust the refresh rate in your computer's display settings. Disable AMD FreeSync temporarily to see if the issue persists.
Buttons not responding	Unplug the monitor's power cable, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in to reset. Ensure no objects are pressing against the buttons.
