Signal and compatibility notes

Use DisplayPort for the full 3440 × 1440 / 165 Hz mode. HDMI 2.0 bandwidth limits the maximum refresh at native resolution. Verify GPU output, cable and driver timing support. The wide aspect ratio may letterbox on 16:9 sources.

Native resolution and refresh depend on the connected computer's GPU, supported timing, port, cable, firmware, operating system and selected color format. Confirm capabilities in the model-specific manual rather than inferring them from connector shape alone.

OLED care and preservation

OLED panels can retain static imagery. Enable the manufacturer's panel-protection, pixel-shift and refresh features; follow on-screen prompts and documented care intervals. Avoid disconnecting power during a panel maintenance cycle, and record operating hours, firmware, calibration state and image condition for archival systems.
