Initial Setup

Installing the Stand

Note: For safety and to ensure optimal performance, please position the monitor on a flat, stable surface. Failure to do so may lead to the monitor falling, causing damage to the monitor itself and/or posing a risk of personal injury.

Removing the Stand and Mounting the Monitor

Refer to the table below for the standard dimensions for mounting kits.

Note: For use only with a UL certified mounting kit/bracket. To obtain a wall mounting kit or height adjustment base, contact ViewSonic® or your local dealer.

14 kg	100 x 100 mm	Ø 5 mm	M4 x 10 mm	4 screws

Note: Mounting kits are sold separately.

Important: Before removing the stand, please turn off the monitor, disconnect all cables, and place the monitor on a flat, stable surface with the screen facing down.

1. Remove the stand.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the VESA mounting holes at the rear of the monitor. Then secure it with four screws (M4 x 10 mm).
3. Follow the instructions that come with the purchased mounting kit to mount the monitor.

Using the Security Slot

To help prevent the monitor from being stolen, 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

1. Connect the power cord to the AC IN jack at the rear of the monitor.
2. Plug the power cord plug into a power outlet.

Display Connection

HDMI

1. Connect one end of an HDMI cable to an HDMI port of the monitor.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the HDMI port of your computer.

DisplayPort

1. Connect one end of a DisplayPort cable to the DisplayPort In port of the monitor.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort port of your computer.

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

Type C

1. Connect one end of a USB Type C cable to the USB Type C port of the monitor.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the USB Type C port of your computer.

Note: For video output use, make sure your USB Type C output device (e.g., laptop) and cable support video signal transmission.

USB Connection

The monitor supports two types of USB ports, upstream and downstream. When making connection(s), observe the following guideline.

USB Type		Connection Type	Description
	Upstream	Type B	Transfers data between the computer and the USB devices connected to the monitor.
		Type C	Transfers audio, video, and power.
			Supports 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 12V/3A, 15V/3A, 20V/4.9A (LPS) charging.
	Downstream	Type A	For peripheral device(s) (e.g., storage device, keyboard, mouse, etc.).
			Supports 5V/2A charging.

Note:

• To use peripheral devices with the USB Type A port, please also connect your computer to the monitor’s USB Type B or Type C port.
• Due to the product’s USB Type C power delivery design, do not connect the laptops’ power adapter at the same time. This can cause power distribution conflicts with the laptop, resulting in flashing screens or the forced shutdown of the laptop.

Using the USB Ports

1. To use the downstream USB Type A ports, connect one end of the USB Type B cable to the upstream USB Type B port of the monitor. Plug the other end of the cable, USB Type A, into a USB port of your computer.
2. Connect your peripheral device(s) to a downstream USB Type A port of the monitor.
