Troubleshooting

No video signal on the external monitor

Ensure the USB Type-C port on your computer supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Verify that the DisplayPort cable is securely connected to both the converter and the monitor. Try a different DisplayPort cable. Restart your computer and the monitor.

Incorrect resolution or refresh rate displayed

Check that your computer's graphics card and operating system support the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure the connected monitor is also capable of supporting these settings. Adjust the display settings in your operating system. Confirm the converter is operating at its maximum supported specifications (3840x2160@144Hz).

Converter not recognized by the computer

Try connecting the converter to a different USB Type-C port on your computer if available. Ensure the USB Type-C port is functioning correctly. If using a docking station or hub, try connecting the converter directly to the computer.

Intermittent connection or flickering

Check for loose cable connections. Ensure the USB Type-C port is clean and free of debris. Update your computer's graphics drivers and USB-C controller drivers. Test with a different DisplayPort cable.
