Notice

Limitation:
(1) Mac Mini and Mac devices with M1/M2 chip cannot sync with the monitor when using HDMI Port. We recommend connecting the monitor via Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable or USB-C to DisplayPort cable. (2) Mac devices with M1/M2 chip can't recognize two individual monitors with the same model name, as it will lead to the mismatch error on the PME. We suggest to disconnect the second monitor and calibrate one monitor at one time.
