Solitaire 27

In the box

Power cable · DisplayPort cable · Manual.

1. Place it

Set the display on a solid desk with room behind for cables and ventilation, out of direct sunlight. Sit roughly an arm's length away, centred on the screen. More on height, distance and light.

2. Connect it

Solitaire 27 accepts 2 × HDMI 2.1 · 1 × DisplayPort 1.4.

  • Desktop computer: use DisplayPort 1.4 for the highest refresh rate at 2560 × 1440.
  • Laptop: use a USB-C-to-DisplayPort or USB-C-to-HDMI cable from your laptop's video-capable USB-C or Thunderbolt port.
  • Console: HDMI 2.1 accepts current game consoles.

3. Set resolution and refresh rate

Open your computer's display settings and choose 2560 × 1440 and the highest refresh rate available, up to 280 Hz. Many computers default to 60 Hz. Enable Adaptive-Sync / FreeSync in your graphics settings to remove tearing in games and video.

4. HDR

Solitaire 27 is rated HDR400. Turn on HDR in your operating system's display settings when viewing HDR films, photos or games, and dim the room slightly. What the HDR labels mean.

5. Adjust the stand

Height: 120 mm travel · Tilt: −5° to +20° · Swivel: ±20° · Pivot: 90°. Set the top of the picture at or slightly below eye level and tilt it to face you. The display also accepts a VESA 75 × 75 arm or wall mount. Choosing an arm.

6. Features worth setting up

  • Picture-by-picture: show two inputs side by side, each on half of the panel.

  • Audio: Headphone out. There are no built-in speakers.

Care

Switch off and use a dry microfibre cloth; dampen it very slightly with water if needed. Never spray liquid on the panel. As an OLED display, it rewards a few habits with static content: let the taskbar hide, use dark themes where you can, and let the display sleep when you step away, leaving it connected to power so it can run its maintenance cycle.

Warranty and help

Your display carries a one-year limited warranty. Contact your Alter Ego advisor for any question or claim; they handle it from the first call to the return. Full specifications are on the Solitaire 27 page.
