Function Description

The AOC LCD Monitor is a display device designed to connect to a computer system, providing visual output for various tasks, from general computing to gaming and multimedia consumption. It supports high-definition multimedia input and offers a range of features to enhance the user's viewing experience. The monitor is equipped with an On-Screen Display (OSD) menu that allows users to customize various display settings, including luminance, color, and game-specific adjustments. It also incorporates Adaptive-Sync technology, which helps to eliminate screen tearing and stuttering during fast-paced gaming by synchronizing the monitor's refresh rate with the graphics card's frame rate. The monitor includes USB-C connectivity, offering a versatile single-cable solution for video, data, and power delivery. Built-in speakers provide audio output, eliminating the need for external speakers in many scenarios.

Usage Features

The monitor offers a user-friendly experience with intuitive setup and adjustment options.

Setup and Installation:

The manual provides clear instructions for setting up the stand and base, ensuring stability. It details the process of connecting the monitor to a PC using various input options, including HDMI and USB-C. For users who prefer a wall-mounted setup, the manual outlines the steps for preparing the monitor for an optional wall mounting arm, emphasizing the importance of using manufacturer-approved kits and following their instructions. Crucially, it highlights the need to maintain adequate ventilation around the monitor to prevent overheating and potential damage.

Adjusting Viewing Angle:

Users can adjust the monitor's viewing angle to their preference, with a tilt range of -5° to 23° and a height adjustment of 110mm. The manual advises holding the stand firmly during adjustment to prevent the monitor from toppling and warns against pressing on the LCD screen, which could cause damage.

Hotkeys and OSD Settings:

The monitor features a set of hotkeys for quick access to common functions:

  • Source/Exit: Switches input sources or exits the OSD menu. A continuous press for about 2 seconds performs an auto-configure function for D-Sub models.
  • Clear Vision/<: Activates and adjusts the Clear Vision feature, which enhances image clarity for low-resolution or blurry content. A 5-second press toggles the Clear Vision Demo mode.
  • Volume/>: Adjusts the audio volume when the OSD is not active.
  • Menu/Enter: Displays the OSD menu or confirms selections within the menu.
  • Power: Turns the monitor on or off.

The OSD menu is logically organized into several categories:

  • Luminance: Controls brightness, contrast, and ECO modes (Standard, Text, Internet, Game, Movie, Sports, Reading). It also allows adjustment of Gamma settings (Gamma1, Gamma2, Gamma3), DCR (Dynamic Contrast Ratio) for enhanced contrast, and HDR Mode selection (Off, HDR Picture, HDR Movie, HDR Game).
  • Color Setup: Manages color temperature (Warm, Normal, Cool, User, Panel Native), Color Gamut (sRGB), and LowBlue Mode settings (Reading/Office, Internet/Multimedia, Off) to reduce blue light emission. Individual Red, Green, and Blue gain adjustments are also available. DCB Mode (Full Enhance, Nature Skin, Green Field, Sky-blue, AutoDetect, Off) provides dynamic color enhancement.
  • Picture Boost: Features "Bright Frame" to adjust a specific area of the screen for enhanced brightness and contrast, with customizable frame size, brightness, contrast, and position.
  • OSD Setup: Configures OSD language, timeout duration, USB power (on/off), horizontal and vertical position of the OSD, transparency, and a "Break Reminder" to prompt users to take breaks after continuous use.
  • Game Setting: Offers various game modes (Off, FPS, RTS, Racing, Gamer 1, Gamer 2, Gamer 3) optimized for different game genres. "Shadow Control" adjusts dark area visibility, and "Game Color" fine-tunes color saturation. "Overdrive" adjusts response time, and "MBR" (Motion Blur Reduction) decreases blue light wave for improved color temperature. "Frame Counter" displays the V frequency, and "Dial Point" places an aiming indicator on the screen for FPS games.
  • Extra: Includes "Input Select" to choose the signal source, "Off Timer" to set an automatic shutdown time, "Image Ratio" (Wide, 4:3) for aspect ratio adjustment, "DDC/CI" (Display Data Channel/Command Interface) support, and a "Reset" option to restore default settings.
  • Exit: Closes the OSD menu.

Adaptive-Sync Function:

The monitor supports Adaptive-Sync technology via DP/HDMI, ensuring a smooth gaming experience by eliminating screen tearing and stuttering. The manual lists compatible AMD Radeon graphics cards and processors, advising users to check the AMD website for the most up-to-date compatibility information.

LED Indicator:

The LED indicator provides visual cues about the monitor's status: white for full power mode and orange for active-off mode.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the monitor.

Cleaning:

The manual stresses the importance of regular cleaning of the cabinet with a water-dampened, soft cloth. For the screen, a soft cotton or microfiber cloth, damp and almost dry, should be used, with a strict warning against allowing liquid into the case. Users are instructed to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the product to prevent electric shock.

Safety Precautions:

The manual outlines several critical safety measures:

  • Power Source: The monitor should only be operated from the specified power source indicated on the label. Users are advised to consult their dealer or power company if unsure.
  • Power Surges: Unplugging the unit during lightning storms or extended periods of non-use protects against power surge damage.
  • Overloading: Avoid overloading power strips and extension cords to prevent fire or electric shock.
  • UL Listed Computers: For satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers with appropriate configured receptacles.
  • Accessibility: The wall socket should be easily accessible.
  • Stability: Do not place the monitor on unstable surfaces. Use only manufacturer-recommended carts, stands, tripods, brackets, or tables.
  • Foreign Objects/Liquids: Never push objects into cabinet slots or spill liquids on the monitor to prevent fire or electric shock.
  • Ventilation: Maintain adequate space around the monitor for air circulation to prevent overheating.
  • Panel Peeling: Ensure the monitor does not tilt downward by more than -5 degrees to avoid potential screen damage.
  • Unusual Odors/Sounds/Smoke: Immediately disconnect the power plug and contact a Service Center if the product emits strange smells, sounds, or smoke.
  • Ventilation Openings: Ensure ventilation openings are not blocked.
  • Vibration/Impact: Avoid severe vibration or high impact conditions during operation and transportation.
  • Power Cords: Use safety-approved power cords, with specific recommendations for Germany (H03VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm2 or better).
  • Hearing Loss: Be aware that excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss, especially when the equalizer is set to maximum.

Troubleshooting:

The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to help users resolve common issues, such as the power LED not turning on, no images on the screen, fuzzy pictures, flickering, or color defects. It provides possible solutions, including checking cable connections, adjusting display settings, and ensuring proper installation of monitor drivers. For more complex issues, users are directed to the Service Center or the AOC website for further support.
