A:If the display exceeds SXGA or 75 Hz, a "Not Optimum Mode", "Recommended Mode 1920 x 1080 60 Hz" message is displayed. If the display exceeds 85 Hz, the display will work properly but the "Not Optimum Mode", "Recommended Mode 1920 x 1080 60 Hz" message appears for one minute and then disappears.

Please change to the recommended mode during this one-minute period. (The message is displayed again if the system is rebooted.)

These monitors are designed to enhance productivity and provide vibrant visual experiences.

Starting with the display characteristics, these monitors typically feature a 22 to 24-inch screen size, making them ideal for various settings, whether in a home office, for professional graphic design, or for everyday computing tasks.
