Monitor Assembly and Setup
Attach the Stand to the Monitor
Place the monitor face down on a soft, clean surface. Align the stand arm with the mounting slot on the back of the monitor. Gently push until it clicks into place. Ensure the stand is securely attached.

Attach the Base to the Stand
Align the monitor base with the bottom of the stand arm. Insert the base into the slot and secure it, typically by tightening a captive screw on the underside of the base. Turn the screw clockwise until the base is firmly attached.

Route Cables (Initial Setup)
Before standing the monitor upright, route any necessary cables through the cable management opening in the stand arm. This helps keep your workspace tidy.

Position and Adjust Tilt
Carefully lift the assembled monitor and place it on your desk. Adjust the tilt angle of the screen to your preferred viewing position. The monitor can typically tilt from -5° to 20°.

Connecting Your Monitor
Connect the necessary cables to the corresponding ports on the back of your BenQ monitor and to your computer or other devices.

Video Connection
Connect a video cable (HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C) from your computer's video output port to the corresponding video input port on the monitor.

Audio Connection
If your monitor has an audio output jack, connect external speakers or headphones to it. If using HDMI or DisplayPort, audio may be transmitted digitally to the monitor's built-in speakers (if available).

USB Connection
Connect the USB upstream cable from your computer to the monitor's USB upstream port. This enables the monitor's USB downstream ports for connecting peripherals.

Multi-Stream Transport (MST) Connection
For connecting multiple monitors in a daisy-chain configuration, use the DisplayPort Out (DP Out) port on the first monitor to connect to the DisplayPort In (DP In) on the second monitor. Ensure your graphics card and monitors support MST.
