Once connected, your operating system (Windows/macOS) should automatically detect the external displays. You may need to adjust display settings within your OS to configure the screens to your preference (e.g., arrangement, resolution, brightness).

Each extended screen has independent controls for brightness, contrast, and other display settings. Refer to the on-screen display (OSD) menu accessible via the physical buttons on the monitor to fine-tune each screen individually.

When the portable laptop monitor's Type-C interface is connected to an external PD power supply, it can quickly charge the computer device with reverse PD100W.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your siaviala S8 PRO, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
