Troubleshooting

Verify that both ends of the cable are securely connected. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the display device. Check if the source device is outputting a compatible resolution (e.g., 1080p or lower). Try a different DVI-D port if available on the display.
Flickering or distorted image
Ensure the cable is not damaged. Check for loose connections. Try reducing the resolution or refresh rate on the source device. Clean the connectors on both the cable and the devices.
