Stand Installation

  1. Place the box on a flat, stable surface and open the front flap of the box to reveal the contents. Remove the top tray.
  2. Remove the monitor stand’s base and neck. Align and connect the two (2) points on the monitor stand’s base with the monitor stand’s neck.
  3. Use the captured screw in the monitor stand’s base and secure it to the monitor stand’s neck.
  4. Align and slide the upper hooks of the monitor stand into the stand mounting slots. Ensure the stand is secure and the quick release tab positively clicks into place.
  5. Using the stand’s handle, lift the device out of the box and into its upright position on a flat, stable surface.
Always place the device on a flat, stable surface. Failure to do so may cause the device to fall and damage the device and/or result in personal injury.

Wall Mounting

Refer to the table below for the standard dimensions for wall mount kits.

For use only with a UL certified wall mount kit/bracket. To obtain a wall-mounting kit or height adjustment base, contact ViewSonic® or your local dealer.
Maximum Loading Hole Pattern (W x H) Interface Pad (W x H x D) Pad Hole Screw Specification & Quantity
14 kg 100 x 100 mm 115 x 115 x 2.6 mm Ø 5 mm M4 x 10 mm - 4 pieces
  1. Turn off the device and disconnect all cables.
  2. Place the device on a flat, stable surface with the screen facing down.
  3. Press and hold the quick release tab and carefully lift the stand.
  4. Pull down slightly to disengage the hooks. Then remove the stand.
  5. Attach the mounting bracket to the VESA mounting holes at the rear of the monitor. Then secure it with four (4) screws (M4 x 10 mm).
  6. Follow the instructions that come with the wall mounting kit to mount the monitor onto the wall.

Using the Security Slot

To help prevent the device from being stolen, use a security slot locking device to secure the device to a fixed object.

Additionally, fastening the monitor to a wall or fixed object using a security cable can help support the weight of the monitor in order to prevent the monitor from falling over.

Below is an example of setting up a security slot locking device on a table.

Using the Security Slot

Connecting to Power

Connecting to Power
  1. Connect the power cord to the AC IN jack at the rear of the device.
  2. Connect the power cord plug to a power outlet.

Connecting External Devices

Note: To connect the monitor to an external device (PC, laptop…etc.), please use one of the included video cables for your application and connect it to both terminals.

HDMI

Connect one end of an HDMI cable to the HDMI port of your monitor. Then connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI port of your computer.

NOTE: The monitor is equipped with one HDMI 1.4 port.

DisplayPort

Connect one end of a DisplayPort cable to the DisplayPort port. Then connect the other end of the cable to the DisplayPort or mini DP port of your computer.

NOTE: To connect the monitor to the Thunderbolt port (v. 1&2) on your Mac, connect the mini DP end of the “mini DP to DisplayPort cable” to the Thunderbolt output of your Mac. Then connect the other end of the cable to the DisplayPort port of the monitor.

USB

Connect one end of a USB cable to a USB port of the monitor. Then connect the other end of the cable to a USB port of your computer.

USB Number Description
Type A Two (2) Connection for your Type A peripheral device(s). (e.g. storage device).
NOTE: To activate the USB Type A port, ensure your computer is also connected to the monitor’s USB Type B port.
Type B One (1) Connect the USB Type B male cable (square with 2 cut corners) to this port, and then connect the other end of the cable to the USB downstream port of your computer.
Type C One (1) Make sure your Type-C output device and cable support video signal transmission.

Ethernet Connection

Connect one end of your LAN (RJ45) cable to the LAN (RJ45) port of the monitor. Then connect the other end to your network.

Next, you must connect your computer to the monitor by either:

  • Type C connection

Or,

  • HDMI and USB Upstream

Or,

  • DisplayPort and USB Upstream

DisplayPort/USB Type-C MST Daisy Chain Connection

With DisplayPort/USB Type-C Multi-Stream Transport (MST) support, you can daisy chain connect up to four (4) monitors.

  1. Connect one end of a DisplayPort/USB Type-C cable to the DisplayPort/USB Type-C Out port of your computer. Then connect the other end of the cable to the DisplayPort In/USB Type-C port of the monitor.
  2. Use another DisplayPort cable to connect to the DisplayPort Out port of the first monitor. Then connect the other end of the cable to the DisplayPort In port of the second monitor.
  3. Repeat Step 2 as needed with up to four (4) monitors.
NOTE: Your graphics card compatibility will determine the number of monitors


NOTE:
  • The max resolution is 1920 x 1080.
  • DisplayPort 1.2 MST must be turned on in the Setup Menu in the OSD Menu to do daisy chaining.
  • If the input source changes to HDMI, DisplayPort 1.2 MST will turn off automatically.

Height Adjustment

Lower or raise the monitor to the desired height (0 to 130 mm).

NOTE: When adjusting, press down firmly along the adjustment track holding the monitor with both hands on the side.

Swivel Adjustment

Swivel the monitor to the left or right for the desired viewing angle (60˚).

Tilt Angle Adjustment

Tilt the monitor forwards or backwards to the desired viewing angle (-5˚ to 40˚).

NOTE:
  • When adjusting, support the stand firmly with one hand while tilting the monitor forwards or backwards with the other hand.
  • The monitor must be lifted to the highest position, then it can support 40˚ tilt.

Screen Orientation Adjustment (Monitor Pivot)

  1. Adjust the monitor height to the highest position. Then tilt the monitor backwards to the full tilt position.
