―
Before selecting the MST mode for DP Out, make sure that the device supports MST (Daisy Chain)/HBR3
(High Bit Rate). Incorrect settings may lead to black screen or inconsistency between the actual output
mode and the selected output mode. If a black screen occurs, change the DP Out output mode.
―
MST connection guarantees normal operation of up to two monitors, whereas SST connection guarantees
normal operation of up to four monitors.
―
DP Out (MST/SST) connection supports the following models only: S24D60* / S27D60* / S32D60* /
S24D60*U / S27D60*U / S32D60*U. If other monitor models are connected using DP Out (MST/SST), those
monitors may not operate normally.
• MST/SST: A technology used for connection and driving of multi-stream display signals.
‒ MST: Stands for Multi-Stream Transport. Can transport multiple video and audio streams, but
needs the support of both the drive capacity of the graphics card and the resolution of the
monitor.
‒ SST: Stands for Single Stream Transport. Can transport only a combination of a single video
stream and a single audio stream.

Toward sustainable IT products
Say hello to a more sustainable product
IT products are associated with a wide range of sustainability risks throughout their life cycle. Human
rights violations are common in the factories. Harmful substances are used both in products and their
manufacture. Products can often have a short lifespan because of poor ergonomics, low quality and
when they are not able to be repaired or upgraded.
This product is a better choice. It meets all the criteria in TCO Certified, the world’s most
comprehensive sustainability certification for IT products. Thank you for making a responsible product
choice, that help drive progress towards a more sustainable future!
Criteria in TCO Certified have a life-cycle perspective and balance environmental and social
responsibility. Conformity is verified by independent and approved verifiers that specialize in IT
products, social responsibility or other sustainability issues. Verification is done both before and after
the certificate is issued, covering the entire validity period. The process also includes ensuring that
corrective actions are implemented in all cases of factory non-conformities. And last but not least, to
make sure that the certification and independent verification is accurate, both TCO Certified and the
verifiers are reviewed regularly.
