Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the monitor, first determine your preferred mounting method. If using the C-clamp, ensure your desk edge is sturdy. For laptops, use the included USB-C cable to connect to a port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode to enable both video transmission and power. If your laptop lacks this, use the HDMI port, though you will need to power the monitor separately. To care for the panel, use a dry, soft microfiber cloth to wipe the screen, and avoid harsh cleaning agents. Always unplug the device before cleaning, and store the unit in a safe location if transporting to avoid damage to the thin 4.9mm profile.
