Note
•
Depending on the capabilities of your
graphic cards, you should be able to
daisy chain multiple displays with various
configurations. Your display configurations
will depend on your graphic card
capabilities. Please check with your graphic
card vendor and always update your
graphic card driver. We recommend AMD
HD6850 or higher graphic cards, or it’s
equivalent in other brand for daisy-chain
function.
•
For a better data transmission in daisy-
chain connection, a DisplayPort 1.2 cable
must be used.
•
To enable Daisy-chain function, you need to
set “
DisplayPort Daisychain
” to “
On
” mode
in OSD menu. (By default, the monitor is
set to “
Off
” mode.)
If your graphics card or video output is not
certified for DisplayPort V1.2, then you may
experience blank or black screen. In this
specific scenario, please go back to OSD
menu again and re-set the “
DisplayPort
Daisychain
” to “
Off
” mode.
Warning
To avoid unknown damage, make sure to
connect your DisplayPort input source to the
port [
