Removing Osd From Your Asus Rog Monitor

The on-screen display (OSD) on your ASUS ROG monitor can be used to adjust your monitor's settings, such as the picture presets, brightness, and Overdrive setting. However, some users have reported issues with the OSD, such as a bug that causes the OSD menu and ASUS logo to become buggy during startup. If you are experiencing issues with your ASUS ROG monitor's OSD or simply want to remove it, there are a few potential solutions. One option is to reset the monitor to its factory settings, which can sometimes resolve minor software glitches. If that doesn't work, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the DisplayWidget Center software, which is a custom-built app for ASUS monitors that allows you to control monitor settings. In some cases, you may need to contact ASUS customer support for further assistance or consider returning the monitor for a replacement if it is still under warranty.

Using the GPU tweak 2 app

The GPU Tweak II app gives you an intuitive interface to access serious functionalities, all at your fingertips. You can access all of this on-the-fly, even in-game, with just one click.

To remove the OSD, open the GPU tweak app and go to the monitor window, where you can see a live overview of your temperature, clockspeeds, etc. At the top, you will see an OFF/OSD option. Set this to OFF.

The latest version of the app is GPU Tweak III, which has a range of new features, including:

• One-click ASUS Preset Modes, which allow you to tweak your graphics card with zero fuss. OC Mode gives you a boost in performance, Silent Mode downclocks the card and lowers the power target for quiet computing, and User Mode allows you to save your own presets for easy one-click usage later on.
• Mobile Monitor feature, which allows you to monitor temperatures, fan speeds, memory usage, and more on your phone or other mobile devices.
• Profile Connect, which lets you assign different profiles to individual games on your system and automatically apply them when the game is launched.
• Control of certain case fans using FanConnect II headers on the card for ROG Strix graphics card owners.
• OC Scanner, which automatically overclocks and stress tests your card, pushing performance even further than OC Mode.
• VF Tuner, which has been updated to be easier to use, so you can fine-tune your voltage/clock curve with fewer clicks.
• An updated OSD feature that allows you to monitor your framerate, temperatures, and more right on top of your game. It is extremely customisable, allowing you to configure exactly what you want to show, what you want to hide, how the font appears, and where on the screen the overlay lives.

Adjusting the monitor's height and angle

To adjust the height and angle of your ASUS ROG monitor, you should first place the monitor on your desk and adjust its height so that the top of the screen is near or just above your eye level. This is important for both ergonomics and maintaining accurate colour interpretation.

Next, adjust the display's tilt so that you are looking at the screen straight on. If possible, avoid direct sunlight from windows by angling the screen away from the light source. If you are unable to avoid glare, a monitor with a high brightness spec (over 300 nits) can help to overcome this.

ASUS ROG monitors typically support height adjustment, allowing you to find the optimal viewing angle. You can adjust the monitor's angle from +20˚ to -5˚, either from the left or right. It is normal for the monitor to slightly shake while you adjust the viewing angle.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your monitor is positioned correctly for both comfort and optimal visual performance.

Using the monitor's joystick-style control

To remove the OSD from your Asus ROG monitor, you'll need to access the monitor's settings. This can be done through the joystick-style control that's built into most ROG monitors. This joystick can be found near the other buttons on the back, side, or bottom of your monitor.

Using the joystick-style control, you can navigate the monitor's settings by moving the joystick left, right, up, or down. To select an option, simply press the joystick inward.

Here's a step-by-step guide to removing the OSD using the joystick-style control:

• Locate the joystick-style control on your monitor. It's usually located near the other buttons on the back, side, or bottom of the monitor.
• Press the joystick inward to access the monitor's settings. This will bring up the on-screen display (OSD) menu.
• Navigate to the "GameVisual" category in the OSD menu by moving the joystick left or right. The "GameVisual" category contains the picture presets that determine the contrast, color, and vibrancy of the image.
• Select the "User Mode" from the list of presets by navigating with the joystick and pressing inward to confirm.
• In the "User Mode," you can manually adjust the R-G-B white balance to reduce the OSD effect. Play around with the settings until you find the right balance for your preferences.
• Once you've adjusted the settings to your liking, press the joystick inward again to save your changes and exit the menu.

By following these steps, you can effectively reduce or remove the OSD from your Asus ROG monitor by taking advantage of the monitor's joystick-style control and navigating its settings.
