Using the right tools

To put your Asus ROG monitor on a stand, you'll need to ensure you have the right tools for the job. Here's a detailed guide:

Before you begin, it's important to understand the design of your specific Asus ROG model. Most Asus ROG monitors feature a quick-release mechanism, but some models may vary. Having the right tools will make the task easier and safer:

Now, let's get into the step-by-step process:

• Power Off and Disconnect: Start by powering off your monitor for safety. Then, disconnect all cables connecting the monitor to your computer or peripherals.
• Place on a Soft Surface: Place the monitor on a soft, padded surface or cloth to prevent any screen damage during the process.
• Locate the Release Mechanism: Look for a small lever, button, or latch on the back of the monitor stand. This may vary depending on your model.
• Engage the Release Mechanism: Gently press or pull the release mechanism. You may hear a click or feel resistance as the stand detaches.
• Lift the Monitor: Once the stand is released, carefully lift the monitor, avoiding excessive force or pressure.
• Remove Remaining Screws: Some Asus ROG monitor stands have additional screws. Use your Phillips-head screwdriver to remove these.
• Troubleshooting: If you encounter any issues, refer to the troubleshooting tips provided by Asus. For example, if the release mechanism is stuck, gently pry it open with the small flathead screwdriver.

By following these steps and using the right tools, you'll be able to put your Asus ROG monitor on a stand safely and effectively.

Power off and disconnect cables

Before you begin the process of putting your ASUS ROG monitor on a stand, it is important to take certain precautions to ensure the safety of your equipment and to make the task easier.

Firstly, power off your monitor. This is a crucial safety measure to protect your monitor and other connected devices from any potential electrical damage. Once the monitor is powered off, disconnect all cables linking the monitor to your computer or any peripherals. This step ensures that your monitor is completely disconnected from other devices and reduces the risk of accidental damage during the process.

After disconnecting the cables, it is important to place the monitor on a soft surface, such as a soft cloth or a padded table. This simple step will help protect the screen from scratches or other types of damage that may occur during the process of putting your monitor on a stand.

By following these initial steps, you can create a safer environment for handling your equipment and ensure that your monitor is ready to be placed on a stand.

Place the monitor on a soft surface

When placing your monitor on a soft surface, it's important to take some preparatory steps to ensure the safety of your equipment and to make the task easier.

Firstly, power off your monitor as a safety precaution to prevent any electrical shocks. Next, disconnect all cables connecting your monitor to your computer or any peripherals. This ensures that you can freely move the monitor without the hassle of tangled cables or accidental damage.

Now, you can carefully place your monitor on a soft surface. This step is crucial to protecting your screen from scratches or other damage during the removal process. A soft cloth or a padded surface is ideal for this purpose. By placing the monitor on a soft, padded surface, you minimize the risk of accidental scratches and ensure that your monitor remains in pristine condition.

Additionally, it is recommended to have a Phillips-head screwdriver and a small flathead screwdriver handy. These tools can assist in removing screws or prying open any stubborn latches or clips during the stand removal process.

By following these steps, you can safely place your ASUS ROG monitor on a soft surface, making it ready for further adjustments or maintenance.

Locate and engage the release mechanism

To locate and engage the release mechanism of your ASUS ROG monitor stand, follow these steps:

First, identify the release mechanism by referring to the instruction manual specific to your ASUS ROG monitor model. The release mechanism is typically located on the base of the stand or the neck, where the monitor attaches to the stand. It could be in the form of a button, lever, or switch.

Once you have located the release mechanism, it's time to engage it. Depending on the design of your monitor stand, this could involve pressing a button, lifting a lever, or sliding a switch. Gently apply pressure or adjust the lever or switch according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

By engaging the release mechanism, you will be able to adjust the height, tilt, or swivel of your monitor. Make sure to follow any safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer to avoid damage to the equipment or injury to yourself.

Some ASUS ROG monitors, such as the PG and XG series models, are compatible with the ROG Monitor Desk Mount Kit ACL01. This kit includes a mounting base and a C-clamp-style attachment. The C-clamp can be tightened to provide a secure grip on surfaces of different thicknesses, ensuring stability for your monitor setup.

Additionally, consider the type of adjustments you want to make to your monitor's position. For example, you may want to adjust the height, tilt, or swivel to achieve optimal viewing angles and comfort. Refer to your specific monitor model's instructions to understand the full range of adjustments offered by the release mechanism.

Re-attaching the stand

Align the Stand with the Monitor:

Carefully align the stand with the monitor, ensuring it is properly positioned. This step is crucial to ensure a secure and stable connection between the stand and the monitor. Take your time to ensure the stand is correctly aligned with the monitor's base or attachment point.

Engage the Release Mechanism:

Look for the release mechanism, typically a small lever, button, or latch located on the back of the monitor stand. Gently press or pull the release mechanism to secure the stand to the monitor. You may hear a click or feel a slight resistance, indicating that the stand is now locked in place.

Tighten Any Screws:

Some ASUS ROG monitor stands may have additional screws to secure the stand to the monitor. If there are screws, use a Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten them. This step ensures that the stand is firmly attached to the monitor and reduces the risk of accidental detachment.

Final Checks:

Once you have re-attached the stand, take a moment to ensure that the monitor is stable and secure on its stand. Gently try to adjust the viewing angle or tilt the monitor to confirm that the stand is firmly in place.

Clean and Store the Stand:

To maintain the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your monitor and stand, remember to clean the stand regularly with a soft cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. When the monitor is not in use, store the stand in a safe and dry place to prevent damage or accidental loss.

By following these steps, you can confidently re-attach the stand to your ASUS ROG monitor, ensuring a secure and stable setup for your viewing pleasure.
