Host, OSD & compatibility notes

USB-C video requires DisplayPort Alt Mode. HDMI supports compatible HDMI sources at supported timing, with separate USB-C power. Rotation/software features may be limited to supported Windows configurations; standard display modes are host/GPU dependent.

Model-specific caveat: 2560 × 1600 at 120 Hz requires a source and cable capable of the full timing; HDR and refresh options depend on host output and link configuration. No laptop-charging passthrough should be assumed.

Field use & preservation

Protect the LCD/touch surface in transport, avoid loading the USB-C or HDMI sockets sideways, and test video, power and touch (where fitted) as separate signal paths. Keep the correct cable and power adapter with the monitor.

Record the rear-label model/serial, included cover/stand, cable and adapter ratings, signal timing, OSD configuration, panel condition and any repaired or substituted accessories. Do not open the enclosure; use the manufacturer's service procedure and a qualified technician.
