Step 1: Adjust Display Settings

Before diving into the monitor's settings, make sure your game is set up to take advantage of your OLED monitor's capabilities. Check the game's graphics settings and adjust the resolution, refresh rate, and aspect ratio to match your monitor's specifications.

Setting	Recommended Value	Description
Resolution	4K (3840 x 2160)	The highest resolution available on most OLED gaming monitors.
Refresh Rate	120Hz or 144Hz	A higher refresh rate provides a smoother gaming experience.
Aspect Ratio	16:9	The standard aspect ratio for most modern games.

Step 2: Enable G-Sync or FreeSync

G-Sync and FreeSync are technologies that synchronize the monitor's refresh rate with the graphics card's frame rate, reducing screen tearing and stuttering. Make sure to enable the corresponding technology in your monitor's settings.
