To connect the display to your computer, follow these steps below:
Connect the power adapter to the Looking Glass display.
Connect the 2x DisplayPort cables and USB 3.0 A-to-B cable between the Looking Glass display and your host PC. Both DisplayPort cables should connect to ports on the same external graphics card and not to the motherboard of your computer.
The Looking Glass display should turn on automatically once it receives a display signal from your host PC. The LED indicator at the side of the display should turn green.
If the PC is also connected to a 2D monitor (suggested), connect the monitor to the external graphics card as well for best performance.
3. Setting up your computer
The display mode should be in Extend these displays.
If a second display is not detected at first, hold down the Windows Key + P and select Extend in the side window. A display with the number 2 should automatically appear (as shown below).
Select your Looking Glass display.
Display orientation should be set manually to Portrait
Confirm the resolution is 4320 x 7680 (after setting the orientation)
Night Light should be off (optional, as it will impact the color performance of our displays)
Scale should be set to 100%
The Refresh Rate should be set to 60Hz. If you see that the max refresh rate can only be set to 30Hz, double check your cables to ensure that both DP cables are connected properly.
