Attach the stem to the base using the thumbscrew. Then insert the assembly into the slot at the back of the screen until it clicks. To remove, lift the release lever and tilt the stand upwards.

Why doesn't my computer detect the monitor via USB-C?

Make sure your computer's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt). Use the provided USB-C cable. Also check that the monitor is turned on and that the USB-C input is selected in the source menu.

How can I charge my laptop using the Edge monitor?

Connect your computer's USB-C port that supports Power Delivery (PD) to the monitor's USB-C 3.0 Gen1 (display) port using the provided cable. The monitor can deliver up to 90 W. If your computer requires more power, also use its original charger.

What resolution should I use for the Edge 34C2KPDSGR?

The native resolution is 3440 × 1440 (21:9). In Windows, go to Settings > System > Display and select this resolution. In macOS, under System Preferences > Displays, choose '3456 × 1440' or '3440 × 1440'. Avoid mirroring with a non-ultrawide screen.

How to use Picture-in-Picture (PIP) or Picture-by-Picture (PBP) mode?

Assembling the Monitor

Attach the Stand Stem to the Stand Base.
Firmly attach the stem with the thumb screw on the bottom of the Stand Base.

Carefully insert the stand into the back of the monitor, taking care to align the stand's tips with the notches in the monitor's mount. The stand will click into place when correct inserted.

If you're setting the monitor up for the first time, lift its travel bag to expose the mounting area, while leaving it in the protective foam. Otherwise, gently place the monitor screen-down on a flat surface.

WARNING

This monitor has a heavy glass back. Remove with care to avoid damaging the monitor. We recommend removing the monitor from the packaging with the aid of another person

Removing the Monitor from the Stand

Lay the monitor onto a flat surface, screen-down.
Lift the release lever on the stend's head.
Gently angle the stand upwards and pull backwards to remove.

Attaching the Monitor to a VESA Mount

Edge has holes for four mounting screws in the rear mounting section, where its stand attaches.

Edge is compatible with 100x100mm VESA mounts which can support its weight, although care should be taken as it is both unusually heavy and unusually wide for a monitor of its size, and may not work with all mounts that advertise as compatible with 34/40^ monitors.

When connecting Edge to a third party mount, we recommend using 10mm M4 mounting screws. Using shorter screws may result in an insecure connection, while longer ones may damage Edge.

图

With the monitor disconnected from its stand, lay it screen-down on a flat surface.

图

Follow the instructions of your 100x100mm compatible VESA mount, taking care not to over-tighten any mounting screws, which may damage your monitor:

Connecting Your Monitor Connecting to Accessories

First, connect Edge to a wall socket using the included power adapter and cable.

Then press and hold in the joystick on the back of Edge to turn the monitor on or off.

We recommend connecting to Edge with the included USB-C cable if your computer has a USB-C port compatible with DisplayPort (DP) Act Mode, as this will allow your computer to receive up to 90W charging as well as connect to Edge's Ethernet and USB-C Accessory Ports.

It can be difficult to tell if your computer has a DP Alt Mode compatible USB-C port. The most reliable way to figure out which USB-C ports are DP Alt Mode compatible is to check your computer's manual, or the manufacturer's webpage. They are sometimes marked with a screen or DisplayPort icon.

All Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ports are compatible with DP Alt Mode and USB-C Power Delivery. All USB-C ports on modern MacBooks are either Thunderbolt 3 or 4.

If your computer or device does not have a USB-C DP Alt Mode compatible port, we recommend connecting with the included HDMI cable, although DisplayPort offers the same visual quality if you have your own cable.

When connected to Edge's USB-C 3.0 Gen 1(Display) port, your computer will automatically recognise any USB-C accessories connected to Edge's USB 2.0 (Accessory) ports.

We recommend using these ports for connecting peripherals like mice and keyboards, or data devices like external hard drives.

Audio and Edge

Edge has stereo speakers which can be used when it's connected to a video source via HDMI, DisplayPort or USB-C (DP Alt Mode). To do so, simply select 34C2KPD/40C2KPD from your device's Settings > Sound menu.

Additionally, Edge can send audio to a pair of headphones or (externally-powered) speakers connected to its 3.5mm Audio port. When an external audio device is connected, Edge's speakers will be disabled.

This 3.5mm Audio port cannot be used for audio in, like microphones.

Charging your Computer with Edge

Edge can charge USB-C connected computers at up to 90W. To do so, simply connect a Power Delivery (PD) compatible USB-C port to Edge's USB-C 3.0 Gen1 (Display) port via the included cable.

Not all USB-C ports are PD compatible. To check if yours is, look for a plug, battery or lightning icon. Many ports don't have icons, so we recommend checking the product manual or manufacturer's website to be sure. All Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports are PD compatible.

The 90W power Edge supplies may not be enough to power some performance or gaming laptops when under high load.

Securing your Monitor

You can physically secure Edge by connecting its Kensington Security Slot to any standard Kensington Lock.

Follow the instructions included with your lock to attach it.

Setting the Correct Resolution for Edge

If you're unsure, follow the steps below to ensure your computer is sending Edge the correct video feed.

Windows

1. Open "Settings" from the Windows Start Menu.
2. Navigate to "System" then "Display".
3. In the bottom left corner of the window showing the displays, ensure it's set to "Extend these Displays" and not "Duplicate these Displays".
   a. Duplicating a non-ultrawide display onto Edge can result in visual glitches or distortions.
4. Ensure the resolution is set to "3456x1440" or "3440x1440", whichever appears in your options list.

Mac

1. Open your computer's "System Settings" menu (click on the Apple Icon in the top left corner) and navigate to "Displays".
2. Click on your Edge monitor.
3. Make sure "Use as" is set to either "Main Display" or "Extended Display", not "Mirror".
   a. Duplicating a non-ultrawide display onto Edge can result in visual glitches or distortions.
4. In the list of available resolutions, ensure Edge is set to either "3456x1440" or "3440x1440", whichever appears in the list.

If this does not resolve your display issue, please contact ALOGIC support ([e-mail]).

How to Arrange Apps on Edge for Multitasking

On the latest versions of Windows, macOS and most versions of Linux, arranging two windows side by side is as easy as selecting and dragging an app or window to the edge of the screen, waiting until a translucent outline appears over half the screen, and releasing.

For more information on these features and advanced tips, consult Microsoft and Apple's official help pages.

Apple's App Tiling Guide Microsoft's Windows Snapping Guide
