Unpacking and Assembly

Before unpacking the stand, ensure that the box is placed on a flat, clear surface.

  1. Open the lid of the monitor box, remove the upper Styrofoam tray containing the stand and place it to one side.
    Assembly Instruction

  2. Open the soft bag that protects the monitor to reveal where the stand attaches to the rear of the monitor. Leave the monitor laying in the Styrofoam tray to avoid damaging it while installing the stand. Insert the top of the monitor stand into the mount on the rear of the monitor and press downwards on the stand until it clicks into place. Do not use excessive force to ensure that the monitor is not damaged.
    Assembly Instruction

  3. Carefully lift the monitor out of the Styrofoam tray and stand it on the desk ready for use.
    Assembly Instruction

Warning: Do not put pressure on the display area of the monitor while assembling or moving the monitor. The display screen is fragile – applying force to it will break the display. Keep the monitor box and Styrofoam packaging for future transportation and storage of the monitor.

Disassembly and Storage

Before disassembling the monitor, ensure that the box is placed on a flat, clear surface.

  1. Open the lid of the monitor box, remove the upper Styrofoam tray and place it to one side
  2. Place the soft bag over the monitor and lay it in face down in the Styrofoam tray in the box. Ensure that the bag sits flat against the screen of the monitor and is not folded over itself or bunched up. Excessive bunching of the bag under the monitor screen may damage the screen when it is laid in the box.
  3. Open the bag to reveal where the monitor attaches to the stand. Push the monitor stand latch toward the top edge of the monitor and lift the base of the stand upwards to release the stand from the monitor.
  4. Close the bag and fold neatly over the rear of the monitor. Place the upper Styrofoam tray on top of the monitor in the box.
  5. Undo the screw, separating the base from the stand and place both pieces in the upper foam packaging tray.
    Assembly Instruction

Mounting Options

The monitor has 75 x 75mm spaced mounting holes to allow it to be mounted to any compatible 75mm VESA standard monitor arm or wall mount accessory (not included).

The mounting holes are recessed in the region on the back of the monitor where the stand attaches and are hidden by the stand when it is installed. VESA mounts cannot be used with the monitor while the stand is attached.

M4 threaded mounting spacers are included with the monitor which must be used when mounting the monitor to a monitor arm or other mount. Mount the monitor to a VESA mounting accessory as follows.

  1. Lay the monitor face down in its Styrofoam packaging tray.
    Do not attempt to lay the screen on any uneven surface including soft surfaces such as carpet and seating while attaching the mounting accessory – damage to the screen may occur

  2. Locate the mounting spacers in the accessory bag that comes with the monitor. With the monitor laying in its Styrofoam tray, screw in the four spacers into the holes in the recess where the stand attaches. Do not over tighten – tightening the spacers too much may cause damage to the monitor
    Mounting Instruction

  3. Screw the VESA mounting accessory into the mounting spacers.
    Mounting Instruction
    Do not apply pressure to the rear of the monitor while fitting the mounting accessory -downwards pressure on the screen may crack or otherwise damage it

  4. Carefully lift the monitor and mounting accessory out of the tray and place into position.
    Mounting Instruction

Ensure there is 50mm clearance around all sides of the monitor when it is installed to ensure that is does not overhead.

Connecting the Monitor

Mounting Instruction

Connecting the Monitor

Connecting a Video Source
The monitor includes four video inputs which can be connected simultaneously. To connect a computer or other source device, plug one of the included HDMI, DisplayPort or USB-C cables into the computer and into a corresponding port on the monitor.
Connecting Instruction

Notes:

  • The USB-C connection will provide up to 90W of power to computers which support USB Power Delivery (USB PD). This allows the computer to display video on the monitor while being charged over a single cable. As a result, the USB-C connection type is the best option if your computer has this capability.
  • Depending on the capabilities of the computer it may not be able to provide 4K at a full 60Hz refresh rate if connected to the monitor using HDMI. The USB-C or DisplayPort connection should be used as a first preference if the computer supports these connection types.
  • Not all USB-C ports on computers support video output and/or charging using USB PD. If your computer does not show video on the monitor or start charging when connected to the monitor using USB-C, check that the USB-C port on the computer supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode video output and USB PD charging.
  • Not all USB-C cables support video transfer or charging above 60W. It is recommended that you use the USB-C cable supplied with the monitor to avoid potential issues with cables that have been obtained separately

Audio Output

The display features inbuilt speakers as well as an audio output jack to allow headphones and external speakers to be connected. When an external audio device is connected, the display’s on-board speakers will be disabled.
Connecting Instruction

Connecting Audio Devices

The audio port on the display only supports output devices such as headphones and speakers. It is not possible to connect microphones or other input devices to this port. Headphones with built in microphones can be connected to this port, however the microphone will not function .

To send audio from your computer to the display speakers or connected audio device, select “27F34KCPD” as the audio destination on your computer.
Connecting Instruction

Connecting USB Devices

The display includes two USB type A ports that can be used to attach USB peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse or web camera to the computer. In order for the computer to see devices attached to these ports, the computer must be connected to either (or both) of the USB type C and/or USB type B ports.

Notes

  • If the computer is only connected to the USB-C port on the display the ports will operate at USB 2.0 speeds because video traffic shares the USB-C cable with the USB data. This speed is sufficient for most peripherals such as keyboards, mice and web cameras.
  • If the computer is connected to the USB-B port on the display, the ports will operate at USB 3.0 speeds. This is preferable if using high speed storage devices such as external hard drives and USB flash drives.
