7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Solution |
|---|---|
| No image on screen | Ensure the power cable is securely connected and the monitor is turned on. Verify the video cable (HDMI/DP) is properly connected to both the monitor and the source device. Select the correct input source via the OSD menu. |
| Image is blurry or distorted | Check the display resolution and refresh rate settings on your computer/console. Ensure they match the monitor's native resolution (3840x2160) and supported refresh rates. Try a different video cable. |
| No sound from speakers | Check the volume settings in the monitor's OSD menu and on your connected device. Ensure the audio output is correctly configured on your source device. If using external speakers/headphones, verify their connection. |
| Screen flickering | Ensure AMD FreeSync is properly configured. Check for updated graphics drivers. Reduce the refresh rate to see if the issue persists. |
| Monitor does not respond to controls | Power cycle the monitor (turn off, unplug, wait 30 seconds, plug back in, turn on). |
