Host, OSD & compatibility notes
USB-C video requires DisplayPort Alt Mode; mini-HDMI works with compatible PC/console output and separate USB-C power. Basic video is platform neutral; firmware/OSD adjustments are done on-device.
Model-specific caveat: Use a source or adapter that can deliver at least 15 W; HDMI alone cannot power the display. MSI identifies model/variant codes including E2/E2U—check label and manual before assuming port/accessory differences.
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.
