5. Operating Instructions
5.1 On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu
The monitor features a joystick control located on the back or bottom of the monitor for navigating the OSD menu. Press the joystick to open the OSD menu, then move it up/down/left/right to select and adjust settings.
- Picture Settings: Adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness, color temperature, and gamma.
- Color Settings: Fine-tune RGB values, hue, and saturation.
- Input Select: Manually switch between HDMI 1, HDMI 2, DisplayPort, and USB-C inputs.
- PIP/PBP Settings: Configure Picture-in-Picture or Picture-by-Picture modes.
- System Settings: Adjust OSD language, transparency, timeout, and reset to factory defaults.
- Gaming Settings: Enable FreeSync, adjust response time, and activate game modes.
5.2 PIP/PBP Functionality
The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) functions allow you to display content from two different sources simultaneously on the screen.
- PIP: Displays a smaller window of a second input source over the main input.
- PBP: Divides the screen into two or more sections, each displaying a different input source side-by-side.
Access these settings through the OSD menu to select input sources and adjust their display positions and sizes.

5.3 KVM Switch
The built-in KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch allows you to control two different computers or devices with a single set of keyboard and mouse connected to the monitor's USB-A ports. To use this feature, ensure both devices are connected to the monitor via video cables (e.g., DP, HDMI, USB-C) and that the USB-B upstream cable is connected from the monitor to the primary device.
Switching between devices is typically done via the OSD menu or a dedicated hotkey combination (refer to the full manual for specific instructions).

5.4 FreeSync
FreeSync technology synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your graphics card's frame rate, eliminating screen tearing and stuttering for a smoother gaming experience. Enable FreeSync through the OSD menu if your graphics card supports it.

6. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your monitor.
