Working with PC

This product supports Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7 OS.

1. Turn on the backlight switch on the back of the LCD.
2. Connect the TOUCH interface of the LCD to the USB interface of the PC. Wait for a while, the windows will automatically recognize the touch function.
3. Connect the HDMI interface of the LCD to the HDMI port of the PC. About 10s later, you can see the LCD display properly.

Note:

  • 1) When the computer is connected to several different displays at the same time, only this LCD can be used to control the cursor on the main display, so we recommend setting this LCD as the main display.
  • 2) Some of the PCs cannot support the HDMI screen Hot Plug. In this case, restarting the PC can solve.
  • 3) Sometimes LCD will flicker because of undersupplying from the USB cable of the PC. You need to connect an external power supply (5V/2A) to the DC port.
