CORSAIR XENEON 32UHD144 Gaming Monitor FAQ

Does the CORSAIR XENEON 32UHD144

support video over USB-C?

| Yes, the CORSAIR XENEON 32UHD144 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

| 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.

Image is stretched/squished

| 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).

Image has color issues

| 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.
Adjust the picture settings via OSD.

Artifacts in onscreen image

| 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.

Monitor has a dead pixel

| 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.

What kind of VESA mount is compatible?

| CORSAIR XENEON 32UHD144 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.

| Check to ensure that your PC has the latest version of CORSAIR iCUE installed. The CORSAIR XENEON 32UHD144

is supported in iCUE version 4.24 or newer.

Check to ensure that the cable connected to the USB-C upstream on the monitor and your PC’s USB 3.0 port is properly connected. Avoid connecting the monitor through a USB hub or extension if possible. We strongly recommend

using the USB-C cable provided with the CORSAIR XENEON monitor for best results.

What adaptive refresh rate options are available to CORSAIR XENEON?| The CORSAIR XENEON 32UHD144 is certified for AMD FreeSync Premium and is also NVIDIA G-SYNC compatible.
