Frequently Asked Questions

What must be enabled in the monitor settings for this software to work?

The Deep Color Channel/CI (DDC/CI) channel must be enabled in the monitor's OSD menu.

How can I automatically change my display settings based on what program I use?

Enable 'Auto Mode' (under the Auto Mode tab); this associates a preset mode with specific applications, which activates automatically when launched.

Verify that DDC/CI is enabled on the monitor (via OSD), ensure you have the latest display driver, and remove any docking stations or converters.
