Operating Your Monitor
1. Power On/Off
Press the power button, usually located on the back or bottom of the monitor, to turn the monitor on or off. The power indicator light will illuminate when the monitor is on.
3. KVM Functionality
The GIGABYTE MO32U features a built-in KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch, allowing you to control multiple devices (e.g., a desktop PC and a laptop) with a single set of keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor. To use KVM, ensure both devices are connected to the monitor via video inputs (HDMI/DP and Type-C) and the USB upstream cable is connected to the primary device. You can switch between devices using a dedicated KVM button or through the OSD menu.

5. GIGABYTE OLED Care
The monitor incorporates GIGABYTE OLED Care, an AI-based algorithm designed to minimize the risk of OLED burn-in issues. This suite of technologies operates in the background with minimal user interference. OLED Care includes various adjustable settings within the OSD menu to help protect the panel and extend its lifespan.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your monitor.
- Cleaning the Screen: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a non-abrasive screen cleaner. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen.
- Cleaning the Casing: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the monitor casing. Avoid using strong detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- OLED Care: Allow the monitor to perform its automatic OLED Care functions. Avoid prolonged display of static images at high brightness settings.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your monitor, refer to the following common solutions:
- No Power: Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on.
- No Signal: Verify that the video cables (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C) are correctly connected to both the monitor and your source device. Ensure the correct input source is selected in the monitor's OSD menu.
- Flickering or Distorted Image: Check cable connections. Ensure your graphics card drivers are up to date. Try adjusting the refresh rate in your operating system's display settings.
- Image Retention/Burn-in: While OLED Care minimizes this risk, prolonged static images can contribute. Utilize OLED Care features and avoid displaying static content for extended periods.
- KVM Not Switching: Ensure the USB upstream cable is connected to the active source device and that the KVM function is properly configured in the OSD menu.
