4.1 PIP/PBP
The PIP (Picture in Picture) function separates the screen into two parts. One source device is displayed
on the main screen at the same time the another source device is displayed in inset windows.
The PBP (Picture by Picture) function separates the screen in half displaying output from two different
source devices simultaneously on the left and right sides of the screen.
Compatible with Windows7 and Windows8.
The PIP/PBP function may not be available depending on the specifications of the graphics card
used. If the screen is blank in PIP/PBP mode when the optimum resolution is selected, go to
Control Panel Display Screen Resolution and click Detect on the PC.
(Instructions are based on Windows 7.) If the screen is blank when the resolution is set to the
optimum resolution, change the resolution to 1280 x 1024.
→
The screen may flicker briefly or appear after a delay when you enable or disable the PIP/PBP
function or when you change the screen size with the PIP/PBP function activated.
This can typically arise when a PC and a monitor are connected to two or more input sources.
It has nothing to do with the performance of a monitor.
The issue is mainly caused when the video signals are delayed in transmission to the monitor
depending on the graphics card performance.

FreeSync technology is solution that eliminates screen tearing without all the usual lag and latency.
FreeSync can be operated when you use AMD's graphic card with supporting FreeSync solution.
FreeSync is only supported by AMD graphics cards.
Select FreeSync Off if you are using a graphics card from a different manufacturer.
Please refer to the AMD's official website related situation.
Only a few of the following types of AMD graphics card can support FreeSync, and need to install the
AMD's latest official FreeSync driver.
Radeon R9 290X/290
Radeon R9 285
Radeon R7 260X/260
AMD A10 “Kaveri” APU (ex. A10 7850K)
For additional AMD graphics card models that support the FreeSync feature, visit the official AMD
website.
If the FreeSync function is enabled, the response rate during the game may fluctuate depending
on the resolution.
A higher resolution generally decreases the response rate.
If the FreeSync function is enabled, the screen can flicker depending on the game option settings.
Decreasing the game setting values might help to remove the flicker. Installing the latest drivers
from the AMD website may also fix this issue.
