2. How do I use USB-C connection?
Short answer: Use a USB-C cable that supports video output.
USB-C is the simplest connection path when your device supports it. A single cable may carry both video and power, depending on the source device.
If the monitor does not stay stable, connect external power as well.
Steps
- Use a video-capable USB-C cable.
- Connect the computer and monitor.
- Add power if needed.
Troubleshooting
- Charging only, no display: the port or cable may not support video.
- Flickering: connect a stronger power source.
Conclusion: USB-C is the easiest option when the device supports video output.

3. How do I use HDMI connection?
Short answer: Connect HDMI, add power if needed, and select HDMI as the input source.
HDMI is the best fallback when USB-C video output is not available. It works well for desktops, older laptops, and game consoles.
Steps
- Connect the HDMI cable.
- Connect power.
- Select HDMI input on the monitor.
Troubleshooting
- No signal: check the input source.
- Unstable image: confirm the cable and power are both solid.
Conclusion: HDMI is a reliable and flexible connection method.

4. How do I adjust brightness?
Short answer: Use the monitor buttons or menu, and connect power if the brightness feels limited.
Brightness is usually adjusted from the monitor’s on-screen menu. If brightness seems too low, check the power source first because insufficient power can limit output.
Steps
- Open the monitor menu.
- Find brightness.
- Increase or decrease it to the level you want.
Troubleshooting
- Brightness does not change: check whether the OSD is locked.
- Too dim even at max brightness: connect a stronger power source.
Conclusion: Brightness control is simple, but stable power matters.

Steps
- Connect the monitor.
- Change the display orientation to portrait.
- Place the monitor vertically.
Troubleshooting
- Upside down: choose the opposite rotation direction.
- No rotation options: check whether your device supports screen rotation.
Conclusion: Portrait mode is a great fit for reading and content review.

Steps
- Connect the monitor.
- Open display settings.
- Select Extend.
- Rearrange the display order if needed.
Troubleshooting
- Still mirroring: choose Extend again.
- Screen order feels wrong: drag the display icons to match your desk layout.

7. How do I connect a tablet?
Short answer: If the tablet supports video output over USB-C, connect it directly with a compatible cable.
Whether a tablet can connect depends on whether it can output video. USB-C alone is not enough; the tablet must support display output.
Steps
- Confirm that the tablet supports video output.
- Use the correct USB-C or adapter path.
- Add power if the screen is unstable.
Troubleshooting
- Charge only, no display: the tablet may not support external video.
- Random disconnects: check power and cable quality.
Conclusion: Tablet compatibility depends on the model and output support.

8. How do I power the monitor correctly?
Short answer: Use a stable USB-C PD charger, ideally 65W or higher.

Steps
- Connect a USB-C PD charger.
- Plug it into the monitor’s power input.
- Connect the video cable.
Troubleshooting
- Low brightness or restarting: the charger may be underpowered.
- Unstable signal: power may be inconsistent.
Conclusion: Better power usually means a more stable monitor experience.

9. How do I clean the screen safely?
Short answer: Turn it off first, then use a soft microfiber cloth and avoid harsh cleaners.

Steps
- Turn the monitor off.
- Unplug the cables.
- Wipe gently with a microfiber cloth.
- Use a slightly damp cloth only if needed.
Troubleshooting
- Streaks: wipe once more with a dry cloth.
- Scratches: stop using rough paper towels or hard cloths.
Conclusion: Gentle cleaning is the safest option for the display surface.
