Download Firmware
Before You Start
Firmware updates are not required for most users. Only install this update if you are experiencing a specific issue, or Pixio support has recommended it.
Warning: Updating firmware incorrectly or interrupting the process may cause issues. Follow all steps carefully and do not power off the monitor during the update.
USB Drive Preparation
1
After clicking "Download Firmware," a file named
MERGE.bin will download. Use this file for the firmware update.2
To perform the software update via USB, first format the USB memory drive to FAT32.
3
When performing the update, make sure that only one BIN file (
.bin) is saved in the root directory of the USB drive.4
Safely eject the USB from your computer before connecting it to the monitor.
Performing the Update
1
Insert the USB drive into the USB port on the back of the monitor.
2
The monitor will detect the firmware and begin the update process automatically. Follow any on-screen prompts.
3
Do not turn off the product until the update is complete. Prevent the update from any interruption. In general, the product returns to the previous version if an update is interrupted.
4
Once complete, remove the USB drive. Verify the firmware version via the OSD menu if needed.
Note: It is not a monitor-related problem if the screen blinks green during a USB update with a DVI-HDMI converter connected. The software update is performed normally. Wait until the update is complete.
Troubleshooting — "No Update Files Found on Your USB Device"
If this message appears on-screen, it is probably due to one of the following reasons:
| Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|
| A USB memory is not connected to the USB port | Confirm the USB is fully inserted into the correct port on the monitor |
| The files in the connected USB memory are not compatible formats | Ensure the drive is formatted to FAT32 and only contains MERGE.bin |
| There are no valid update files in the connected USB memory (no update files saved, or incorrect file names) | Re-download the firmware — the file must be named MERGE.bin and placed at the root of the drive |
