VIOTEK Adaptive-Sync
Adaptive sync eliminates image tearing, stuttering and ghosting by adjusting of a monitor’s vertical refresh rate to the frame rate of the graphics card. It is compatible with GPUs that use AMD® FreeSync™ or NVIDIA® G-Sync™. The feature is off on VIOTEK monitors by default and must be manually enabled in the monitor’s OSD (see Section 8: OSD). To use this feature, the connecting device must be compatible with adaptive sync (FreeSync and/or G-Sync); have the latest graphic drivers; and be connected to the monitor using a DisplayPort (DP) cable.

• Try an alternative power source. Insufficient current can be causing this issue.
• Ensure devices such as non-shielded speakers, fluorescent lighting, AC transformers, table fans, etc., are a safe distance away from your screen to avoid magnetic disturbances.

The color bleeds or visual effects appear unusual.

• If your screen is all red or blue, or any colors disappear, check to see that the cable is properly inserted. A loose connection can cause a bad signal.
• Try connecting to another video source for comparison. The screen appears to be scrolling, rolling, or moving unusually.
• Check that your source frequency is within 75Hz.
• Reconnect and ensure your video cable is secure. The indicator light does not work
• Check that the power is on.
• Check that the power line is connected with power. Cannot plug and play.
