   Note

   When using the On Screen Control function on the monitor, if it says [No Monitor Connected], then it means that the mirror mode is not supported despite trying to set the display setting of your PC to mirror(duplicated).

   1. PC display setting for dual monitor configuration - In the PC display settings, set it to expanded monitor.
   2. Connect the cable in the product package to both the PC and the monitor one more time.
   3. If the same problem persists, then update the PC graphic card driver to the latest version.

   If you make a connection with a non standard cable or gender changer apart from the cable in the product package, the On Screen Control program and the monitor fail to perform normal DDCCI communication, thus it might not be supported. So, you are recommended to use the cable in the product package such as HDMI, display port and etc provided when purchasing the product.
