Power
The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will
fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug,
have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounded plug.
Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect the
monitor from damage due to power surges.
Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate
configured receptacles marked between 100-240VAC, Min. 5A.
The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
For use only with the attached power adapter (Output: 20Vdc, 6.0A)
Manufacturers: TPV ELECTRONICS（FUJIAN）CO., LTD. Model: ADPC20120

Installation
Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a
person and cause serious damage to this product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by
the manufacturer or sold with this product. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing the product and
use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer. A product and cart combination should be moved
with care.
Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could damage circuit parts causing a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.
Do not place the front of the product on the floor.
If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit
instructions.
Leave some space around the monitor as shown below. Otherwise, air-circulation may be inadequate hence
overheating may cause a fire or damage to the monitor.
See below the recommended ventilation areas around the monitor when the monitor is installed on the wall or on
the stand:

Freesync2
AMD’s FreeSync2 HDR content visualization improvement involves defining a panel characteristics requirement
that produces twice the color volume of standard SDR panel and a protocol requiring the Sink Device to report the
panel’s true color chromaticities, min/max luminance, peak luminance, and supported transfer function.
Common HDR10 displays requires an application to map into generic luminance range and use industry standard
color space that can be signaled through AVI and HDR Info Frame. This in turn requires Sink to perform tone
mapping to map GPU output to actual luminance range and color gamut of the physical panel. Tone mapping by the
monitor may increases post processing latency .
The FreeSync2 can allow content to be mapped directly to the display’s native color gamut and luminance range to
preserve HDR image quality while avoiding multiple inefficient tone mapping and preserving low latencies image
update.

14
HDR
It is compatible with input signals in HDR10 format.
The display may automatically activate the HDR function if the player and content are compatible. Please contact
the device manufacturer and the content provider for information on the compatibility of your device and content.
Please select “OFF” for the HDR function when you have no need for automatical activation function.
Note:
1. No special setting is needed for the DisplayPort/HDMI interface in WIN10 versions lower (older) than V1703.
2. Only the HDMI interface is available and the DisplayPort interface cannot function in WIN10 version V1703.
3. 3840x2160 @50Hz /60Hz not suggestion used in PC device only for UHD player or Xbox-ones / PS4-Pro.
a. The display resolution is set to 3840*2160, and HDR is preset to ON. Under these conditions, the screen may
slightly dim, indicating HDR has been activated.
b. After entering an application, the best HDR effect can be achieved when the resolution is changed to
3840*2160 (if available).
