Mounting the Monitor
After removing the stand, the monitor can be mounted using an optional mounting kit.
| Maximum Loading | Hole Pattern (W × H) | Screw Specification | Screw Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 kg | 100 × 100 mm | M4 × 10 mm | 4 |
- Attach the mounting bracket to the VESA mounting holes at the rear of the monitor, securing it with four screws.
- Follow the mounting kit instructions to mount the monitor.
Using the Security Slot
To prevent theft and minimize damage, use a security slot locking device to secure the monitor 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.
Making Connections
Connecting to Power
Connecting to Video
- For video output use, make sure your USB Type C output device (e.g., laptop) and cable support video signal transmission.
- When you use Type C as the video signal input source, unplug the DisplayPort and HDMI signals to avoid audio output confusion.
Audio Connection
Ethernet Connection
| Mode | Left LED (ACT/LINK) | Right LED (SPEED) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Gbit | Off | Flashing Amber |
| 100 Mbit | Flashing Green | Off |
| 10 Mbit | Off | Off |
- To enable data transmission via HDMI or DisplayPort, connect your computer to the monitor’s upstream USB Type C port. For more information, refer to USB Connection.
- By default, the Ethernet connection is disconnected when the monitor enters Power Saving mode and automatically reconnects after the monitor wakes up. To keep your network active during Power Saving mode, open the OSD Menu, go to Setup Menu > ECO Mode > USB Charging, then select On.
