Important Information
Important Note:
Thank-you for your purchase! Please make sure your computer hardware and graphics card supports the Nixeus
Vue 24" Monitor. Some devices and connections may not be able to support the full 1920x1080 resolution at
144Hz refresh rates. Avoid using 3rd party cable adapters/convertors to connect the NX-VUE24 to HDMI,
VGA, and DVI output devices - we cannot guarantee they will be compatible with the NX-VUE24. Only use
cables that are direct connections and not "convertors". If you are not sure, please contact your computer
hardware’s manufacturer. Please read this manual before using NX-VUE24 with your computer. It contains
important information regarding the use and care of computer monitors.
Safety and Maintenance:
1) Do not expose the monitor to direct sunlight. Keep the monitor away from a stove or any other heat source.
2) Remove or secure any objects that may fall into the monitor’s vents. Do not obstruct or block the cooling
vents of the monitor.
3) Don’t jam the vents on the enclosure.
4) When setting up the monitor for use, please ensure the power plug and socket are easy to insert and extract.
5) When disconnecting the power cord or DC power line for the monitor, please wait for 6 seconds before
reconnecting the power cord or DC power line wires for normal operation.
6) Please use only approved power line and power adapters provided by Nixeus. If any power connections are
missing, please contact Nixeus for a replacement. Using un-authorized power connectors may damage your
monitor and void your warranty.
7) During operation, please do not throw objects and take care to avoid collision with the monitor. Do not
overclock or modify the monitor’s decoder board. Please do not apply excessive force to the LCD panel or drop
the monitor. Warranty does not cover physical damages, over-clocking, and modifications to the monitor.
8) When monitor is not in use for a long period of time, please disconnect the power plug.
9) When using slightly wet cloth or LCD cleaners to clean the monitor, please disconnect the power adapter. Do
not use organic solvent, alcohol, house hold glass cleaners or ammonia liquid to clean the monitor - these may
damage the display panel.
10) Do not store or use monitor in hot, direct sunlight, or in a cold environment. To avoid electrical shock and
to prevent monitor damage; do not use the monitor in dusty, rain, wet, and humid conditions. If monitor gets
wet, please wipe clean with soft dry cloth as soon as possible. If foreign objects or liquids get into the monitor,
please disconnect power adapter immediately. For service please contact Nixeus Technical support for service
and repair at [email protected]
11) To ensure long life and best performance of the monitor, please use the monitor in these safe and optimum
conditions: Temperature = 0-40 degrees Celsius (32°-95° Fahrenheit), Humidity = 20-80% RH

Avoiding Image Persistence, Incidental Image or After Image:
1) When the monitor is on and unattended, please use a moving screen saver. If there is a static (non moving
image) on the screen, please refresh regularly or start an application to start using the screen.
2) Long time continuous display of static images may case a “brand” on the screen; this is also called “image
persistence” or “incidental image” or “after image.” “Brand,” “incidental image” or “after image” is a common
phenomenon of LCD Panel Technology. In most cases, after turning off the power supply for a certain amount
of time the “brand,” “incidental image” or “after image” will gradually disappear. Also by displaying a pure
white image for the entire screen for the same duration that you had the static image that caused the image
persistence may remove the image persistence. Please contact Nixeus if you need assistance in removing image
persistence.
CAUTION: Serious “brand,” “incidental image” or “after image” will not disappear and cannot be repaired.
This type of damage is not covered by warranty. Please take good care of your monitor to prevent serious
“brand,” “incidental image” or “after image.”
Larger display panels may have some glow around the edges or corners. This is known as back light bleed and
Glow - this is normal due to the display LED technology that allows more light and higher brightness to
produce more vibrant colors and brighter pictures.
If your monitor needs replacement parts, warranty service, and repairs please do not attempt to do it yourself!
Doing so may void the warranty. Please contact [email protected] for warranty support. For more
