Connect the video source using the appropriate cable (DisplayPort or HDMI) supported by your graphics card, then power on the monitor. Use the on-screen display (OSD) to select input, adjust brightness, refresh rate and enable AMD FreeSync if available. Adjust the height to a comfortable viewing position and enable the blue-light reduction feature in software when needed.

Recommendations

For competitive gaming, use a graphics card and cables that support 300 Hz output (DisplayPort recommended) and enable the 300 Hz refresh rate and 0.5 ms response settings in your OS and GPU driver. Enable AMD FreeSync to reduce tearing and consider activating AI Vision for improved visibility in darker scenes. Use the matte surface and height adjustment to minimize reflections and maintain ergonomic posture.
