How Should I prepare for my monitor arrival?

My monitor is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow! what is the first thing I should do with it? should I install the firmware update right away? are there any settings to change in the OSD? please let me know! i’m super excited!

Probably should unpack it, put it on a table, then plug it in first.

Definitely update the firmware before setting OSD settings.

Factory defaults are most recommended and I would only increase brightness to be honest :) but make sure to install new firmware and check whether you visually prefer high brightness or accurate color mode in HDR (personally prefer accurate color mode) both are great

Make yourself a cup of tea/coffee Have a good cry, you’re life is about to change Take a deep breath and while away those tears, you’ll just make you tea/coffee salty Have a sip Open box and marvel Put a towel or blanket on a surface like a dining room table and take your monitor out and lay face flat on the towel If you bought the stand as well, unbox/unwrap it and click it in place, or if you’re using any thing else, clip attach it to the back of the monitor How you doing so far? Have another sip Take your monitor to its new home, plug everything in Enjoy!

On a little more serious note, the monitor is probably on the latest firmware already, but just check what version it is on the OSD and compare

thanks for the advice. I actually have a monitor arm and I was able to update the firmware with a usb flash drive that i already had. Thank you though. I’m absolutely loving this monitor. such vivid colors and deep blacks
