Setup & General Usage
Getting the Sigurd 4000 setup is extremely easy. Using the included power and display cables go ahead and connect the display to power and then to either your PC or console.
When you turn your PC on you are going to want to go into your display settings and make sure the display is running at its highest possible settings. Our system uses an NVIDIA graphics card so we go into the NVIDIA Settings and make sure we are running at 3440 x 1440 at 165 Hz. Using the DisplayPort cable both we have options for 60, 120, 144, and 165 Hz.
Now you actively need to turn adaptive sync on. This can first be done in monitor’s OSD (see blow). Once you do that the option for G-SYNC will appear in the menu in the NVIDIA control panel.
With a 3440 x 1440 resolution most websites and applications will seem a bit stretched out if you have them full screen. This is a perfect monitor to have applications side-by-side, and this can easily be done with snapping built into Windows.
Having a pixel per inch ratio of 109.68 at full resolution you are going to have a very sharp and crisp screen, no scaling or anything like that is necessary to read text on the screen.
The on-screen menu can be accessed by pressing the “M” button on the bottom-edge of the monitor. All of the settings are what you would expect and allow you to fine-tune the monitor to your liking. The menu system is pretty generic and clunky. It is worth noting that the settings for the lighting on the back of the monitor are under the “Display” tab and both HDR and Adaptive Sync are under the “Other” tab. Both are turned off by default too.
