Finding Your Aoc Monitor Model: A Step-By-Step Guide

If you need to find the model of your AOC monitor, there are several methods you can try. Firstly, you can check the back of your monitor for a small white sticker label that should display the model and serial number. If the sticker is missing or illegible, you can try downloading the AOC G-Menu software, which displays the manufacturer, model name, and serial number in the Display section. Alternatively, you can refer to the user manual or the support section of the AOC website, which may provide a downloadable user manual, frequently asked questions, instruction videos, or a support forum.

Check the sticker on the back of the monitor

If you need to find the model of your AOC monitor, the easiest way is to check the sticker on the back of the monitor. This sticker will contain the model number, serial number, and production date code. It's important to have this information readily available if you ever need to contact customer support or request repairs or a replacement under the warranty.

The sticker on the back of the monitor is usually small and white, and it contains all the essential details about your specific monitor. It is important to keep this information in a safe place, as you may need it for future reference. If the sticker is damaged or missing, you may be able to find the model number in the on-screen display menu of your monitor.

Additionally, if you have the original packaging for your monitor, the model number may be printed on the box or included in the user manual. It is always a good idea to keep the original packaging and documentation for any electronic device in case you need to refer to it later.

If you are unable to locate the model number through any of these methods, you may need to contact AOC customer support for further assistance. They may be able to help you identify your monitor based on its physical characteristics or provide guidance on where else to look for the model number.

Download AOC G-Menu

If you are looking to download AOC G-Menu, you can do so via the AOC website. G-Menu is an application that allows you to change your monitor settings without accessing the on-screen display or graphics card. It is compatible with non-G-Sync monitors that are equipped with the latest firmware.

G-Menu allows you to control and customise all settings at once, including the RGB illumination of monitors with AOC's Light FX. The software also allows users to preview RGB effects before deploying them onto devices. In addition, G-Menu enables colour and theme synchronisation between products, so your monitor and accessories such as gaming mice, mouse pads, and keyboards can have the same RGB lighting pattern and colours.

G-Menu also offers a high degree of freedom to assign various functions to buttons and keys, including tasks such as opening multimedia players, refreshing pages, and basic OS functions like cut/copy/paste.

To check if your monitor is compatible with G-Menu, you can contact the AOC service department.

Check the power cable

To check the power cable of your AOC monitor, you should first make sure that the power button is ON. Then, check that the power cord is properly connected to a grounded power outlet and to the monitor.

If your monitor is not turning on, you should check that your computer is operational by hitting the CAPS LOCK key on your keyboard while observing the CAPS LOCK LED. The LED should either turn ON or OFF after hitting the CAPS LOCK key. If the LED does not turn on or off, your computer may not be functioning properly.

If your monitor is still not turning on, you should check that the power cord connection and power supply are working properly. If the power cord is connected properly and the power supply is working, you should check that the video cable is connected correctly.

If you are using a D-sub cable, check the DB-15 cable connection. If you are using a DVI cable, check the DVI cable connection. If you are using an HDMI cable, check the HDMI cable connection. If you are using a DP cable, check the DP cable connection.

If you have checked all of these things and your monitor is still not turning on, you may need to contact AOC customer support for further assistance.

Check HDMI/DVI cables

To check your HDMI or DVI cables, you can try the following:

Check the physical cable

First, check the physical cable itself for any damage or loose connections. Ensure that all pins are present and not bent.

Check the power supply

Make sure the power cord is connected properly and that the power supply is working. Check that the power button is on and that the power light is illuminated.

Check the cable connections

Ensure that the cable is connected correctly to both the monitor and the computer. Check that the cable is plugged directly into the video card output connector on the back of the computer and not into an extension cable or switch box.

Check the cable type

If you have an HDMI cable, check that it meets the required specifications for your monitor. For example, to connect to a 4K@60Hz TV, you will need at least a Premium High-Speed HDMI cable.

If you have a DVI cable, check that it is a dual-link cable, especially if you are trying to run a monitor at 1080p/144hz.

Check through trial and error

If you are unsure about the specifications of your cable, you can try plugging it into a different monitor or TV to see if it works.

Check the monitor

If the cable works with a different monitor, the issue may lie with your monitor. Check that your monitor is operational by hitting the CAPS LOCK key on your keyboard and observing the CAPS LOCK LED.

Check your computer

If your monitor is operational, the problem may lie with your computer. Check that your computer is turned on and working properly. Try turning on your computer and monitor in a different sequence to see if that helps.

Check your drivers

Ensure that the AOC Monitor Drivers are installed and up to date.

Try using another display

• Power on both the display and your computer.
