This document serves as the user manual for the Oculux Series LCD Monitor, specifically covering models NXG251R (3EA35 / 3EA37). It provides comprehensive guidance on setting up, operating, and maintaining the monitor, ensuring users can maximize its features and performance.

Function Description

The Oculux Series LCD Monitor is a high-performance display designed to provide an immersive visual experience. It functions as a primary output device for computers, rendering graphics and text with clarity and precision. The monitor is equipped with multiple input interfaces, including HDMI and DisplayPort, allowing for versatile connectivity with various computing devices. It also features USB Type B Upstream and USB Type A Downstream ports, enabling the monitor to act as a USB hub, expanding the connectivity options for peripherals. A dedicated headphone jack is integrated for audio output, providing a convenient solution for private listening. The monitor is designed with a focus on gaming, offering features like high refresh rates and fast response times to deliver smooth and responsive gameplay. Its On-Screen Display (OSD) menu, accessible via a multi-directional Navi Key, provides extensive customization options for image settings, gaming modes, and other display parameters.

Usage Features

The Oculux Series monitor is designed for user comfort and convenience. Its adjustable stand allows for tilt and height adjustments, enabling users to position the screen ergonomically to suit their viewing preferences and reduce strain. The monitor can also be wall-mounted using a VESA-compatible kit, offering flexibility in setup.

Setting up the monitor involves a straightforward process: connecting the stand, attaching the base, and then connecting the monitor to a PC using either an HDMI or DisplayPort cable. The power adapter and cord are then connected to the monitor and an electrical outlet, respectively. Once powered on, users can select their desired input source through the OSD menu.

The OSD menu is the central control panel for the monitor's features. It is navigated using the Navi Key, a multi-directional joystick-like control located on the monitor. Pressing the middle button of the Navi Key launches the OSD main menu, from which users can access various sub-menus. The Up, Down, Left, and Right movements of the Navi Key are used to navigate through menus, select items, and adjust values. The Navi Key also supports "Hot Key" functions when the OSD menu is off, allowing for quick access to frequently used settings.

Key OSD features include:

• Gaming Mode: This section offers specific settings tailored for gaming, such as "Dark Boost" to improve visibility in dark areas of games, "Response Time" for optimizing pixel transition speeds, and "ULMB" (Ultra Low Motion Blur) for reducing motion blur. Users can also save their preferred settings as "Profile1" and "Profile2" for quick recall.
• Image Settings: Users can fine-tune image quality parameters like brightness, contrast, and color temperature. An "Adaptive Contrast" feature dynamically enhances image contrast. "Eye Saver" mode is available to reduce blue light emission, protecting users' eyes during prolonged use by adjusting the screen color temperature to a warmer tone.
• Input Source Selection: This allows users to manually switch between connected HDMI and DisplayPort inputs.
• Navi Key Customization: Users can assign specific functions to the Up, Down, Left, and Right movements of the Navi Key, personalizing their control experience.
• Setting Menu: This menu includes options for language selection, "DP Deep Sleep" and "HDMI Deep Sleep" to conserve power when no signal is detected, "Transparency" for adjusting the OSD menu's opacity, and "OSD Time Out" to set how long the OSD remains visible. An "RGB LED" setting allows users to turn the monitor's RGB lighting on or off. The "Reset" option enables users to revert all settings to their default values, except for the language.

The monitor also supports "Refresh Rate" display, which can be shown on the screen at a user-defined location. An "Alarm Clock" feature can also be set and displayed on the screen, providing a convenient timer.

Maintenance Features

The manual emphasizes several safety and maintenance guidelines to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the monitor:

• Cleaning: When cleaning the device, users are instructed to first remove the power plug. A soft cloth should be used for cleaning, avoiding industrial chemicals or pouring any liquid into openings, which could damage the device or cause electric shock.
• Environmental Considerations: The monitor should not be exposed to humidity, high temperatures, or unconditioned environments with extreme temperatures (above 60°C or below -20°C). The maximum operating temperature is around 40°C.
• Ventilation: The monitor's ventilator should not be covered, as it is crucial for air convection and preventing overheating.
• Power Management: Users are advised to ensure the power voltage is within the safety range (100~240V) and properly adjusted. The protective earth pin from the plug should not be disabled, and the device must be connected to an earthed mains socket-outlet. Disconnecting the power cord or switching off the wall socket is recommended when the device is left unused for an extended period to achieve zero energy consumption.
• Physical Handling: The monitor should be placed on a reliable flat surface during setup. When adjusting the monitor, users should avoid touching the display panel. Strong magnetic or electrical objects should be kept away from the device.
• Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues such as the power LED being off, no image on the screen, improper screen sizing or centering, "No Plug & Play" errors, fuzzy/blurry images, color problems, and screen flickering or waves. Solutions provided include checking cable connections, power supply, graphics card installation, adjusting display settings, updating drivers, and ensuring the monitor is away from electromagnetic interference.
• Repair and Servicing: In case of problems that cannot be resolved with the user's manual, users are advised to contact their place of purchase or local distributor, or visit the MSI support website for further guidance. Servicing should only be performed by qualified personnel.
• Product Lifespan and Recycling: The monitor is designed for proper reuse of parts and recycling. Users are encouraged to contact local authorized collection points for recycling and disposing of end-of-life products, aligning with WEEE, RoHS, and other environmental regulations.
