Connecting to a Media Device with HDMI

Connect using a single HDMI cable for the highest picture and audio quality from Blu-ray players, streaming media players, or
game consoles. 4K UHD content is shown when the connected media player also supports 4K content.
Supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection) coding, a type of digital rights management that prevents high-
definition content, in Blu-ray discs, DVDs and streaming media, from being copied or broadcast illegally.


NOTEN:
• Supports 1080p, 1080i, 720p@50 Hz/60 Hz, 480p@60 Hz, 576p@50 Hz, 480i@60 Hz, 576i@50 Hz,
3840×2160 (24 Hz/25 Hz/30 Hz [MODE1]), 3840×2160 (50 Hz/60 Hz [MODE2]),
4096×2160 (24 Hz/25 Hz/30 Hz [MODE1]), 4096×2160 (50 Hz/60 Hz [MODE2]).

• Connect the HDMI cable when both the media player and the monitor are powered off.

• Use an HDMI cable with the HDMI logo.

• Some HDMI cables and devices may not show an image correctly due to different HDMI specifications.

• If you are unable to view material via the digital inputs, this does not necessarily mean that the monitor is not
functioning properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected
by HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content
Protection, LLC).

Connecting to audio equipment with ARC function

If connecting audio equipment with ARC function to HDMI1 (ARC) using the included ARC-supported HDMI cable, the audio
equipment outputs the monitor's sound.
• The sound via HDMI1 (ARC) is not adjustable by the OSD menu.
• When the ARC function is activated, the monitor's internal speakers are muted.
• The playing picture's sound is output to audio equipment via HDMI1 (ARC). The HDMI1 (ARC) does not send an audio signal
that is not supported by the input connector of playing pictures. Please refer to
each input connector.

HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)

HDMI-CEC provides compatible media players, connected via HDMI, the ability to communicate and allow limited control
between the device and the monitor. For example, turning on a Blu-ray player can immediately switch input to the Blu-ray player
without using the remote control. Not all devices are fully compatible, and, in some cases, the media device manufacturer may
only provide compatibility with its own monitors or TVs. See
When supported, the monitor's remote control can be used to control the HDMI media device.


NOTEN: The instructions in this section guide you through configuring [CEC] in the monitor's OSD menu. These settings can
also be configured using the monitor's web controls. The function names and location in the web controls are the same
as the OSD menu.
