Frequently Asked Questions / Troubleshooting

Question
Does the CORSAIR XENEON 32QHD165 support video over USB-C?

Answer
Yes, the CORSAIR XENEON 32QHD165 supports DisplayPort over USB-C through the dedicated TYPE-C DP ALT input. Use the included 1.5m Type-C cable or a quality USB Type-C cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 for best results.

I’m unable to use devices connected to the USB-A ports on my monitor when connected to my device that supports USB-C Alt Mode using a single USB-C cable.
Image is stretched/squished
Image has color issues

USB-C Alt Mode, by default will operate in “4 lane” mode which allows for full DisplayPort resolution over USB-C, however this disables the use of the USB Type-A ports. To re-enable the USB Type-A ports when connected solely via the TYPE-C DP ALT input, switch to “2 lane” mode which will limit the supported video output resolution in order to re-enable the USB Type-A ports for peripherals connected to the monitor’s USB Type-A ports. Alternatively, you may connect the source device to the USB downstream port as well as the TYPE-C DP ALT port for full video resolution and USB port functionality. Ensure that you’re using a quality USB Type-C cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 for best results.
Check the “Aspect Ratio” setting under “System Setting”. By default this is set to “Auto”, however in certain instances, you may need to manually set an aspect ratio (ex: certain combinations of adapters and retro game consoles).
Check the quality of the video cable and ensure that it isn’t damaged. Avoid low quality video cables and extensions.
Reset the monitor to factory settings.

Artifacts in onscreen image Monitor has a dead pixel What kind of VESA mount is compatible?

Adjust the picture settings via OSD.
Check the quality of the video cable and ensure that it isn’t damaged.
Check your source device, a faulty graphics card or game console may require contacting the manufacturer for assistance.
CORSAIR provides a “Zero Dead Pixel” policy for monitor products, if 1 or more bright pixels or 6 or more dark subpixels are found, the monitor will be exchanged during the 3-year warranty period.
CORSAIR XENEON 32QHD165 supports a standard 100mm x 100mm mount, the monitor head must be removed from the stand. Use the mounting screws supplied with your VESA mount.

The CORSAIR XENEON 32QHD165 is certified for AMD FreeSync Premium and is also NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible.
Check that AMD FreeSync is enabled via OSD.
Check your graphics card settings and ensure that AMD FreeSync / NVIDIA G-SYNC are enabled. AMD FreeSync functions over any of the video ports. NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility only works over DP or USB Type-C Alt-Mode DP
Check your graphics card/system display settings and ensure that 165Hz refresh rate has been enabled. See Supported Display Mode table in Appendix for available options.
