5. Operating the Monitor

5.1 Power On/Off and OSD Navigation

The monitor features a joystick button located on the bottom center for power control and On-Screen Display (OSD) menu navigation.

• OSD Menu: Press the joystick button once to bring up the main OSD menu. Move the joystick up/down/left/right to navigate and press to select.

5.2 Key Features and Settings

Utilize the OSD menu to configure various display settings:

• Refresh Rate (144Hz O/C): The monitor supports up to 144Hz refresh rate when overclocked via DisplayPort 1.4 (HDMI 2.0 supports up to 144Hz). Ensure your graphics card and cable support this.
• 1ms Motion Blur Reduction (MBR): This feature reduces motion blur for clearer action in fast-paced games. Note that activating MBR may disable AMD FreeSync / Dynamic Action Sync (DAS) and flicker may occur during operation.
• NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible / AMD FreeSync: These technologies synchronize the monitor's refresh rate with your GPU's frame rate to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering. Enable the corresponding setting in your graphics card control panel and on the monitor's OSD.
• HDR10: Experience enhanced color and contrast with HDR10 support. Ensure your content and system settings are configured for HDR.
• Picture Modes: Select from various preset picture modes (e.g., Gamer 1, FPS, RTS, Vivid, Reader) or customize your own settings for brightness, contrast, sharpness, and color temperature.
• Input Selection: Manually switch between HDMI and DisplayPort inputs if auto-detection does not work.
