Removing Fps Counter: Asus Vg245h Monitor Guide

The ASUS VG245H monitor is a 24-inch FreeSync gaming monitor with a 75Hz refresh rate and 1080p resolution. It features an FPS (Frames Per Second) counter that can be useful for monitoring performance but can also be distracting for some users. To remove the FPS counter from your ASUS VG245H monitor, you can use either the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu or the ASUS DisplayWidget software. Through the OSD menu, navigate to the “GamePlus” or “GameVisual” section, locate the “FPS Counter” option, and switch it from “On” to “Disabled” or “Off.” Alternatively, you can download and install the ASUS DisplayWidget software, navigate to the “FPS Counter” option, and toggle it off.

Accessing the OSD menu

The ASUS VG245H monitor features a joystick for OSD operation. The joystick also acts as a button to serve quick menu operation. The monitor also features four buttons that function like most other monitors on the market.

To access the OSD menu, press the "Menu" button on your monitor. Depending on the model of your monitor, you may need to navigate to the "GamePlus" or "GameVisual" section. The VG245H monitor features a "GameVisual" mode with six options: Scenery, Racing, Cinema, RTS, RPG, and FPS.

The OSD menu allows users to configure various settings and options on their ASUS monitor. It provides access to features such as the Blue Light filter, brightness, contrast, and color temperature controls. Additionally, the OSD menu includes gaming-specific tweaks through the GamePlus implementation, which includes Crosshair, Timer, FPS counter, and Alignment options.

The joystick for OSD operation on the VG245H monitor allows for quick and efficient navigation through the menu. It can accomplish everything by itself, reducing the need to use the other buttons. However, some users have reported issues with the joystick, where it only brings up the input selection instead of the full OSD menu. In such cases, opening up the monitor and disconnecting the white cord leading to the controls or bumping the components around slightly have been suggested as potential solutions.

Navigating to the 'GamePlus' or 'GameVisual' section

To remove the FPS counter from your ASUS VG245H monitor, you'll need to access the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.
