HDMI and powering the display
If you don’t have an HDMI port available you can use an adapter for a digital connection such as DVI or Display port.
First, connect the USB-C ports to power the display and then connect the HDMI.
The controller’s display also works when connected via a USB to HDMI adapter in case you are on a laptop or computer with limited HDMI outputs.
The Wavlink Model: WL-UG6902H USB-A/USB-C to Dual HDMI 4K@60Hz Display Adapter works on the Mac (Apple Silicon) and Windows and it is generally available from online marketplaces.
Do not use a USB-C to USB-C (thunderbolt) cable to connect the display on a thunderbolt port on the computer and connect an HDMI at the same time. It will cause the computer to see the controller’s monitor twice and will create conflicts. You can connect either the HDMI or a thunderbolt, but not both.
Monitor restarts constantly For model 1A+ and model 2A If when changing the brightness or switching to a preset with high brightness (such us the FPS) the monitor restarts, it means is not receiving enough power to support the level of brightness. On model 2A you can use the additional power port to provide more power using a wall adapter 5V/2A minimum or a power bank. For mode1 1A+ you also have the option to connect a wall adapter on the internal LCD board which has an additional USB-C port. To get to that you have to unscrew the bottom cover. For model 1A+ and model 1A use the Y-cable to provide additional power and it should address this issue.
