Quick Guide from the Manual

This portable monitor is designed for versatility with multiple connection options. Important: Always use the included wall adapter to power the monitor, especially when connecting to devices that may not provide sufficient power (like some laptops, phones, or consoles). Failure to use external power may result in a black screen or flickering.

Product Overview

The monitor features the following ports and controls:

• Mini HDMI: For video signal transmission.
• Full-function Type-C: Supports power, video, and audio transmission.
• 3.5mm Headphone Jack: For audio output.
• Multi-function Key: Press center to open the menu; scroll up/down to navigate.
• Power Button: Press for 5 seconds to power off; press briefly in the menu to go back.

Setup and Connections

The monitor includes a magnetic cover that doubles as a stand. To use it, fold the cover to support the base of the screen.

Connecting to Laptop/PC

• USB-C: Connect via a single USB-C cable if your device supports video output. Use the wall adapter if the screen flickers.
• HDMI: Connect the HDMI cable for video and a USB-A to USB-C cable for power.

Connecting to Consoles (PS5/PS4/Xbox/Switch)

• Connect the HDMI cable for video.
• Connect the USB-A to USB-C cable to the wall adapter for power.
• Note for Nintendo Switch: Use the original Switch power adapter connected to the monitor's Type-C port for best results.

Connecting to Phones

• Connect via USB-C. If the phone does not provide enough power, connect the wall adapter to the monitor's power port.
• Note: Some phones (e.g., Google Pixel) do not support video output.

OSD Menu Settings

Use the multi-function key to access the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu:

• Brightness/Volume: Scroll up/down directly to adjust.
• Main Menu: Press the button to open. Navigate options like Brightness, Contrast, Color Temperature, and OSD settings.
• Reset: Use the reset function to restore factory settings if needed.

Troubleshooting

• Black Screen/No Signal: Ensure the wall adapter is connected. Verify the cable is plugged into the correct port. Check if your device supports video output via USB-C.
• Brightness/Contrast Cannot Be Adjusted: This occurs if HDR, ECO mode, or DCR is enabled. Disable these features to regain control.
• Resolution Issues: If limited to 1080p, check your graphics card settings in Windows/macOS to ensure the monitor is set to its native 2560x1440 resolution.
