If your BenQ GW2480 monitor is not turning on, it could be due to several reasons:
1. Power connection: Ensure that the power cable is firmly plugged into both the monitor and the power outlet. Check that the power outlet is functioning properly by connecting another device to it.
2. Power button: Make sure the power button on the monitor is pressed and held for a few seconds until the monitor powers on. If the button is stuck or unresponsive, try using the power button on the remote control if available.
3. Power saving mode: Check if the monitor is in power-saving mode or sleep mode. Press any button on the monitor or move the mouse to wake it up. Adjust the power settings in the monitor's menu if needed.
4. Faulty cable or connection: Ensure that the cable connecting the monitor to the computer or other source is securely connected and not damaged. Consider trying a different cable or port to rule out any connection issues.
5. Faulty power supply or internal components: If none of the above solutions work, there might be an issue with the power supply or internal components of the monitor. Contact BenQ customer support or seek professional assistance to diagnose and fix the problem.

To adjust your BenQ monitor, you can follow these steps:
1. Find the buttons or controls on the monitor. Most BenQ monitors have a set of control buttons located on the side or bottom bezel of the screen. Some may also have an on-screen display menu accessible through these buttons.
2. Power on your monitor. Use the power button located on the front or side of the monitor to turn it on.
3. Use the buttons to navigate the on-screen display (OSD) menu. If your monitor has an OSD menu, you can access it by pressing the menu button on the monitor. Use the arrow buttons to navigate through the menu and select different settings.
4. Adjust the brightness and contrast. These settings affect the overall image quality. Use the arrow buttons to select the brightness or contrast option in the OSD menu and then adjust the values using the "+" or "-" buttons.
5. Calibrate color settings. If you want to fine-tune the color reproduction of your monitor, look for color calibration settings in the OSD menu. You can adjust options like color temperature, gamma, and individual color channels.
6. Set the resolution and aspect ratio. Make sure the monitor is displaying the native resolution supported by your computer. In the OSD menu, locate the resolution or aspect ratio settings and adjust them accordingly.
7. Enable gaming features (if available). If you're using your BenQ monitor for gaming, it likely has some special features like low input lag, black equalizer, or custom gaming modes. Explore the OSD menu and activate these features to enhance your gaming experience.
Remember to save your changes once you're satisfied with the adjustments. The process may vary slightly depending on the model of your BenQ monitor, so refer to the user manual if needed.
