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.

5. How do I enable portrait mode?

Short answer: Rotate the display in your system settings and position the screen vertically.

Portrait mode is useful for documents, code, long web pages, and social content. After connecting the monitor, change the display orientation in your operating system and physically rotate the monitor.

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.

6. How do I enable extended display?

Short answer: Change the display mode in your system settings to Extend.

Extended display is the best everyday setup for most VIUSEE customers. It gives you a separate workspace for documents, browsers, messages, and timelines.

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.

Conclusion: Extended mode is the most productive setup for a portable monitor.

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.

Stable power is important for brightness, video stability, and long-term use. If the power source is too weak, you may see a dim screen, flickering, or repeated restarts.

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.

Always power off the monitor and disconnect cables before cleaning. Use a soft microfiber cloth for most dust and fingerprints. If needed, slightly dampen the cloth with clean water, but do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
