3.2 Connecting to Devices

The monitor supports various connection methods:

• USB-C Connection (Single Cable for Video & Power): Connect one end of a USB-C to USB-C cable to your device's Thunderbolt 3/4/5 or DisplayPort Alt Mode compatible USB-C port, and the other end to one of the monitor's USB-C ports. This method provides both video signal and power. For maximum brightness (560 nits), connect the included power adapter to the monitor's second USB-C port. Without the power adapter, brightness is capped at 60% (approximately 340 nits).

An external power source (using the included power adapter and a USB-C cable connected to the monitor's USB-C port) is required for the monitor to function via HDMI. PS5/Xbox supports up to 120Hz refresh rate.
