Dismantling The Asus Mg28uq Monitor: Step-By-Step Guide

To take apart your Asus MG28UQ monitor, you will need to first disconnect the power and signal cables. Next, lay the monitor face down on a clean, smooth surface, preferably covered with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the screen. Remove the four screws on the arm of the stand using a screwdriver, and then detach the arm/stand from the monitor. Now you can separate the monitor from its stand and proceed to mount it on a wall if desired.

Disconnect power and signal cables

To disconnect the power and signal cables of your Asus MG28UQ monitor, first lay the monitor face down on a clean table. Ensure that you cover the table surface with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the monitor.

Next, locate the power and signal cables at the rear of the monitor. Gently disconnect these cables from the power outlet and the relevant input device, such as a computer or gaming console. Take care not to damage the cables or the input ports on the monitor.

Once the cables are disconnected, you can proceed with detaching the monitor stand. This process involves using a screwdriver to remove the four screws securing the stand to the monitor. Hold the stand firmly while removing the screws to avoid accidental damage.

After detaching the stand, you can continue with the disassembly process or proceed with wall mounting the monitor, following the appropriate safety guidelines and using the correct tools and equipment.

Remove the monitor stand

To remove the monitor stand from your ASUS MG28UQ monitor, follow these steps:

Firstly, disconnect the power and signal cables from the monitor. This is an important safety precaution to prevent any accidental damage or electrical shocks. Once the cables are disconnected, carefully lay the monitor face down on a clean, smooth, and flat surface. It is recommended to place a soft cloth on the table or surface to prevent any scratches or damage to the monitor screen.

Now, you will need to remove the four screws securing the monitor stand to the back of the monitor. These screws are located on the arm of the stand. Before you begin unscrewing, make sure to hold the stand firmly to keep the monitor in place. Once the screws are removed, you can gently detach the stand from the monitor. Be careful not to apply too much force, as you do not want to damage the monitor housing or any internal components.

In some ASUS monitor models, the stand is secured with rubber pads and a stand cover. If your monitor has a stand cover, you will need to remove it first before loosening the screws. The rubber pads are usually attached to the base of the stand and can be peeled off or gently pried off with a flat tool.

Once you have removed the stand, if you intend to wall-mount your monitor, ensure you purchase the correct VESA wall mount kit and use the appropriate UL Listed Wall Mount Bracket to ensure safety and stability.

Remove the four rubber covers

To remove the four rubber covers, you will need to pry them out with a stiff, pointed tool, such as a metal spudger. These rubber covers hide the four screws that secure the monitor stand to the display. Be sure to lay the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface before beginning. This will prevent any damage to the screen.

Once you have removed the rubber covers, you can use a screwdriver to remove the four screws. These screws are typically 13.4 mm Philips #1 screws. Hold the stand of the monitor while removing the screws to avoid any accidental movement or damage. With the screws removed, you can now detach the stand from the display.

It is important to note that if you are detaching the stand for a VESA wall mount, you should use a UL Listed Wall Mount Bracket with a minimum weight/load capacity of 28.8 kg and screw size of M4 x 10 mm. Additionally, be sure to cover the table surface with a soft cloth to prevent any damage to the monitor during this process.

Remove the four screws

To remove the four screws from the ASUS MG28UQ monitor, first disconnect the power and signal cables. Then, carefully place the monitor face down on a clean, soft cloth on a table. This will prevent the monitor from being damaged. Next, hold the stand of the monitor while using a screwdriver to remove the four screws on the arm. Once the screws have been removed, you can detach the arm/stand from the monitor.

It is important to note that the ASUS MG28UQ monitor has a Quick Release Stand that is specially designed for VESA wall mounts. If you plan to wall mount your monitor, you will need to purchase a VESA wall mount kit separately. Only use a UL Listed Wall Mount Bracket with a minimum weight/load capacity of 28.8 kg and screw size of M4 x 10 mm.

By following these steps, you will be able to successfully remove the four screws from the ASUS MG28UQ monitor.

Remove the display bezel

To remove the display bezel of your ASUS MG28UQ monitor, start by laying the monitor face down on a smooth, clean surface. Cover the table with a soft cloth to prevent damage to the screen. Next, remove the four rubber covers that are hiding the screws in the rear of the monitor. Use a stiff, pointed tool like a metal spudger to pry out the plastic covers. Now, remove the four 13.4 mm Philips #1 screws that secure the monitor stand. After this, remove the stand from the display.

The display bezel is held to the rear case by plastic clips that can be released by pulling straight up on the bezel. Avoid using any prying tools that could damage the LCD. Instead, use your fingers, and place a thin cloth over the screen to protect your fingertips and prevent smudging. Lay the cloth over one of the long edges of the display, grip the side of the bezel through the cloth, and lift straight up. A few clips in the centre will pop free. Repeat this process, moving to the other long side and lifting up on the centre of the bezel. Be careful to always pull straight up and not at an angle, and not to push down on the display, as this could damage it.

Now that you've freed the centres of the four sides, it's time to move on to the corners. Each corner is secured by two large clips that can't be freed by simply pulling straight up like the sides. Using a thin, stiff prying device, like a Jimmy, press in against the bottom clip in the lower left corner (beneath the HDMI logo). While pressing the clip in, pull up on the lower edge of the bezel. The entire corner should pop free. Once you've freed one corner, you should be able to gently twist the bezel off, freeing all of the remaining corners.
