4.2 AMD FreeSync Premium

To enable AMD FreeSync Premium, ensure your graphics card supports the technology and that it is enabled in your graphics card's control panel. Then, activate FreeSync Premium within the monitor's OSD menu under the 'Gaming' section. This synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with your GPU's frame rate, reducing screen tearing and stuttering.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

Questa sezione affronta i problemi più comuni che potresti riscontrare con il tuo monitor.

7.1 Nessuna visualizzazione / Schermo nero

• Controlla la potenza: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the monitor and the power outlet. Verify the power outlet is functional.
• Controllare il cavo video: Confirm the video cable (DisplayPort, HDMI, or USB-C) is firmly connected to both the monitor and your computer's graphics card. Try reseating the cable or using a different cable.
• Sorgente di input: Utilizzare il menu OSD per selezionare manualmente la sorgente di ingresso corretta.
• Stato del computer: Assicurati che il computer sia acceso e non in modalità sospensione.

7.2 Flickering or Unstable Image

• Connessione via cavo: Re-check the video cable connection. A loose cable can cause flickering.
• Frequenza di aggiornamento: Ensure your graphics card output refresh rate matches the monitor's supported refresh rate. Adjust this in your operating system's display settings.
• AMD FreeSync Premium: If FreeSync is enabled and flickering occurs, try disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the issue. Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date.
• Interferenza: Move any electronic devices that might cause electromagnetic interference away from the monitor.

7.3 Stuck or Dead Pixels

While rare, a display panel may exhibit a small number of pixels that are permanently lit (stuck) or unlit (dead). This is a characteristic of LCD/OLED technology and is generally not considered a defect unless the number of such pixels exceeds manufacturer specifications. If you experience this, you may try pixel refresh tools or contact support if the issue is severe.

7.4 Annoying OSD Prompts

Some users may experience frequent or persistent OSD prompts (e.g., warnings, feature notifications). Check the monitor's OSD menu for options to adjust the duration of these prompts or to disable specific notifications. Firmware updates, if available from Acer, may also address such issues.
