4. Setup Guide

4.1. Connecting to Devices

The Newsoul M1620 monitor supports various connection methods:

• USB Type-C Connection (Full-featured USB-C):

  If your device (laptop, phone, tablet) has a full-featured USB-C port (supporting video output and power delivery), you can connect it to the monitor using a single USB-C to USB-C cable. This cable will transmit both video signal and power. For optimal brightness and performance, especially with 4K resolution, it is recommended to connect the monitor to an external power source using the provided 30W power adapter and a second USB-C cable.
• Mini HDMI Connection:

  Connect the monitor to devices like PCs, game consoles (PS4/5, Xbox), or cameras using the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable. When using HDMI, you must also connect the monitor to an external power source via one of the USB-C ports using the provided 30W power adapter and a USB-C cable.

4.2. Powering the Monitor

Always ensure the monitor receives adequate power. For the best user experience and to achieve peak brightness, connect the monitor to the provided 30W power adapter using a USB-C cable, even if your device supports power delivery via a single USB-C connection.

4.3. Using the Protective Cover as a Stand

The included magnetic protective cover can be folded to create a stable stand for your monitor. Adjust the folds to achieve your desired viewing angle in either landscape or portrait mode.
