For devices with full-feature USB-C (supporting video) or Thunderbolt 3/4 ports, simply connect using a single USB-C to USB-C cable for power, video, and touch.
NOTE: To avoid screen blackout or flickering, especially at maximum brightness or volume settings, please use an external power supply if the device's power supply is insufficient.
2. Laptop/PC/mini PC (with HDMI port)
For devices with only HDMI ports, connect using a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable for video and a USB-A to USB-C cable for power.
NOTE: Touchscreen functionality is NOT supported in HDMI mode. Use the included 15W+ power adapter for stable operation at high brightness/volume.
3. Phone (with Full-feature USB-C port)

Troubleshooting
For any problems, please feel free to contact us at support@gwsgut.com.
Black screen or No signal
- Use the original USB-C to USB-C cable provided for video signal transmission. The USB-A to USB-C cable is for power supply ONLY.
- Ensure your device has a full-featured USB-C port (USB 3.2, DP Alt Mode, or Thunderbolt 3/4). USB-A ports are not supported for video.
- Some devices, like HP Elitebook, Acer Aspire, and Google Pixel, have USB-C ports that do NOT support video output and only support power.
- Try an HDMI connection: Use a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable for video transmission along with a USB-A to USB-C cable for power supply.
Screen keeps flickering/restarting
- This typically occurs due to insufficient power supply, especially when using only a single USB-C cable at maximum brightness or volume.
- For stable operation, connect an additional power source (included) of at least 15W.
My phone/tablet does not work with this monitor
- Your phone may not be able to provide enough power supply for the monitor. Please connect an additional power supply of at least 15W.
- Game Mode (Maximum Brightness) in the OSD menu is not recommended for mobile phone connections.
- The USB-C port of some devices, like Google Pixel, does NOT support video output and only supports power. An Android to HDTV cable is required in such cases.
- For Apple iPhones, a Lightning to HDMI adapter is required to work with the monitor.
Touchscreen Not Working
- Touch functionality requires a USB-C connection. HDMI connections do not support touch, including for game consoles.
- Due to system restrictions, iPhones/iPads do not support touching. MacBook/Mac mini supports only single-touch.

HDR/FreeSync Not Working
- First, enable HDR/FreeSync in the monitor's OSD menu.
