Product Manuals

Q: How do you mount this monitor on a wall? I don't see anywhere on the back to attach a mount. Also, in one section it says this a LCD, but in the other sections it says it's a LED screen. Which one is correct?

A: To mount to a wall, the monitor accepts a standard VESA 100x100 mount. You basically remove the stand and that allows access to the mount points. The LED/LCD issue is a little trickier. The display itself is LCD, but it uses brighter LED backlighting as the light source which is generally better than the older CCFL method, so it's a combination of both technologies. Hope that helps.

Q: This is listed as having speakers, but does it really?

A: It does but they are not really good.

Q: What is everything that is inside the bow? Also, does this have G-Sync or Free-Sync?
