Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Screen Flickering or Black Screen: If the screen flickers or turns black, ensure the monitor is receiving sufficient power. Connect the included power adapter to the monitor's USB-C port for stable operation, especially when using HDMI or if your device's USB-C port does not provide enough power.
• "No Signal" Message: Verify that the video cable (USB-C or HDMI) is securely connected to both the monitor and your device. Ensure your device's output settings are configured to detect and send a signal to the external monitor. For USB-C, confirm your device's port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode.
• Screen Not Smooth Enough (100Hz): Ensure your device and game/application support 100Hz or above. Adjust the refresh rate setting on your host device's display settings to 100Hz.
• USB-C Cable Compatibility: Use a USB-C cable that is version 3.1 or above and supports video output for optimal performance.
• No Drivers Needed: The monitor is plug-and-play and does not require additional driver installation.
