2. Connect the Device: Use a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect your computer's USB-C port to the monitor's Type-C port (refer to the diagram for details on port labels like Type-C 1, Type-C 2, Type-C Power Port).

  The display is divided into main and sub-screen. Connecting the sub-screen only displays the sub-screen content. Connecting the main screen allows both screens to be displayed. A single USB-C cable connection is supported for video and power, but a separate power supply is recommended to avoid power issues.

8. Troubleshooting

• 8.1. No Display / Black Screen

  Check Power: Ensure the monitor is receiving sufficient power. If using USB-C, try connecting the dedicated power supply. If using HDMI, a separate power supply is required and must be connected.

  Check Cable Connections: Verify that all USB-C and/or HDMI cables are securely connected to both the monitor and your device. Try re-seating the cables.

  Source Selection: Use the monitor's OSD menu to ensure the correct input source (e.g., Type-C 1, Mini HDMI 1) is selected.

  Device Compatibility: For USB-C, confirm your laptop's USB-C port supports Thunderbolt 3.0/4 or USB-C 3.1 (DisplayPort Alternate Mode). Older USB-C ports may not support video output.

• 8.2. Screens Mirroring Instead of Extending

  Windows: Press Win + P and select "Extend" from the projection options.

  Mac: Go to System Settings > Displays and ensure "Extend Display" is selected, not "Mirror Displays".

• 8.3. Poor Image Quality / Washed Out Colors

  Adjust Settings: Access the monitor's OSD menu to adjust brightness, contrast, and color temperature. Refer to Section 7 for details.

  Check Resolution: Ensure your device's display settings are configured to 1920 x 1080 Pixels (FHD 1080p) for optimal clarity.

  Viewing Angle: While IPS panels offer wide viewing angles, extreme angles can still affect perception. Adjust the monitor's position for best viewing.

• 8.4. Audio Issues

  Check Volume: Ensure the monitor's volume is not muted or set too low via the OSD menu.

  Audio Output: Verify that your computer's audio output is set to the CUIUIC monitor in your sound settings.
