Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Unpack all components carefully.
- Attach the monitor stand to the base and then to the monitor panel, following the provided instructions.
- Connect the power cable to the monitor and a power outlet.
- Connect the monitor to your computer using the appropriate video cable (e.g., HDMI, DisplayPort - cables may be sold separately).
- Power on the monitor and your computer.
- Select the correct input source on the monitor using the on-screen display (OSD) controls.
- Adjust monitor settings (brightness, contrast, color) as needed via the OSD menu.
Compatibility:
The BenQ GW2490CE is compatible with most modern computers and laptops featuring standard video output ports (e.g., HDMI, DisplayPort). Ensure your graphics card supports the monitor's native resolution (Full HD) and refresh rate (144Hz) for optimal performance. Check the specific port availability on your computer.
Care:
- Cleaning the Screen: Power off the monitor and unplug the power cord. Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a screen-specific cleaner. Do not spray liquid directly onto the screen. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Cleaning the Body: Wipe the monitor casing with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.
- Ventilation: Ensure the monitor's ventilation slots are not blocked to prevent overheating.
