If you’ve recently purchased an Alienware monitor, you might be wondering how to connect it to your PC. It’s a simple process, but it never hurts to have a step-by-step guide. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of connecting your Alienware monitor to your PC.
First, gather the three cords that come with your monitor: the power cable, the display port cable, and the USB 3.0 cable. The USB 3.0 cable is optional, but we recommend using it so that you can do software updates for your monitor and use the 3.0 ports on the monitor itself.
Next, take the USB 3.0 connector and plug it into the port that looks like it’s for a printer. Then, take the display port cable and connect it to your PC. There’s an HDMI port as well, but if you want to get 240 Hertz on your monitor, you have to use the display port cable.
Finally, plug in the power cable and turn on the monitor. You’ll need to right-click on your desktop and go to display settings to make sure the refresh rate is set to 240 Hertz. If it’s not, go to advanced display settings, click on the display adapter properties, go to the monitor tab, and set the screen refresh rate to 240 Hertz.
And that’s it! You’re all set up and ready to go. Remember, if you want to get the most out of your Alienware monitor, make sure to set the refresh rate to 240 Hertz.
