How to use

Connect the monitor to your PC or console using DisplayPort or HDMI for high-bandwidth 4K signals; use the USB-C port for single-cable video plus power delivery and data when your host device supports it. Adjust the height and tilt for a comfortable viewing angle and enable HDR in the source device and operating system if you plan to use HDR content. Use the built-in USB hub to connect peripherals and manage cables through the monitor's ports.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your graphics card or console supports 4K at the desired refresh rate.
• Verify whether 65 W USB-C power delivery is sufficient for your laptop if you plan to use single-cable docking.
• Plan for external audio if speakers are required, since the monitor has no built-in speakers.
• Consider desk space and ensure compatibility with VESA mounting if you intend to use a monitor arm.

Recommendations

For gaming and content work, use DisplayPort or HDMI 2.1 connections to achieve stable 4K output; enable HDR and set colour profiles in your operating system for accurate editing. When using USB-C docking, check power requirements and connect peripherals to the monitor's USB hub to reduce desktop clutter.
