The native resolution is 2560 x 1440 on a 27-inch screen.

Use the supplied power adapter or verify the actual unit's nameplate before replacing it.

How Do I Set Up the Stand and Connect a PC?

Place the unplugged display face down on a soft, flat surface. Attach the stand and base and check the lock before lifting it. Put the monitor on a stable desk with ventilation room around the shell. Connect the supplied power equipment and one direct DP or HDMI cable from the PC, then choose the matching input in the monitor menu.

How Do I Set 1440p at Up to 240Hz?

Select the H27E6S in your computer's display settings and set 2560 x 1440. With a compatible DP 1.4 connection, select a refresh rate up to 240Hz. HDMI 2.0 supports up to 144Hz at 1440p. If the image is blank or unstable, return to 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz for testing, then raise resolution and refresh rate in steps.

275Hz is an optional overclock above the standard 240Hz DP mode. Use it only if your monitor and source expose that setting; return to 240Hz if it flickers or loses signal.

How Do I Rotate the Monitor for Portrait Use?

The stand lets you rotate the screen 90 degrees for portrait use. Raise the screen enough to clear the desk, leave slack in the cables, and rotate slowly while supporting the display. Then choose portrait orientation in the operating system's display settings. If the stand or cable binds, stop and reposition it before continuing.

How Do I Use the Menu and Mount the Monitor?

Use the joystick shortcuts for input, brightness, gaming assistance, and presets. Select the input that matches your cable, then adjust brightness or picture mode in the menu. For a monitor arm, use a 100 x 100 mm VESA bracket. Power off, unplug, release the stand, and verify screw fit with the monitor and bracket before mounting.

What Should I Check Before Rotating or Mounting It?

Make sure the stand is secure and the screen clears the desk before turning it. Support the monitor body with both hands, keep fingers away from moving joints, and check that power and signal cables have slack. For a third-party arm, confirm its load rating and the screw depth required by the monitor. Release the stand at its mounting point rather than pulling on the screen edge.

How Do I Care for the Monitor?

Leave the vents open and keep the display away from heat, humidity, and vibration. Turn off and unplug it before cleaning. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth on the panel without spraying liquid directly onto it. Keep the original packaging if you need to move or service the monitor.

Troubleshooting H27E6S Problems

The monitor has no power or picture

Check the outlet and supplied power connection. If the power light is on, open the menu, select the connected input, and test one direct cable at 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz. Match the unit's nameplate when choosing a replacement adapter.

240Hz or 275Hz is not available

Check that the resolution is 2560 x 1440, that the PC uses a compatible DP output and cable, and that the selected input is DP. The 275Hz overclock may require an additional monitor setting. HDMI supports up to 144Hz at 1440p.

The picture flickers or the rotated display looks wrong

For flicker, reduce the refresh rate and test another direct cable. For portrait orientation, confirm the operating system is set to portrait and that the cable has enough slack after rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does HDMI offer the 240Hz or 275Hz mode?

No. HDMI 2.0 supports up to 2560 x 1440 @ 144Hz. Use DP 1.4 for 240Hz or the optional 275Hz overclock.

Why is the picture still sideways after I rotate the monitor?

Physical rotation does not change the source device's orientation setting. Choose portrait mode in the operating system's display settings, then verify that your apps use the intended screen.

What should I do if the overclock flickers?

Return to the normal 240Hz DP mode, reconnect the cable, and compare another compatible cable or PC output before retrying.
