  • Using HDMI: Connect one end of the HDMI cable to your device's HDMI output and the other end to the monitor's HDMI input.
  • Using Type-C (Full-function): Connect one end of the full-function Type-C cable to your device's Type-C port (which must support DP Alt Mode) and the other end to one of the monitor's full-function Type-C ports. This single cable can transmit video, audio, and power.
  • Important Note for Type-C: If your device's Type-C port does not support DP Alt Mode, you will not be able to transmit video via Type-C. Refer to your device's specifications for compatibility. One of the monitor's Type-C ports is for power input only and does not support video transmission.
