Frequently Asked Questions - ROG Strix XG258QMG ASUS

How do I set the monitor to 240Hz?

Ensure you connect using a supported cable (DisplayPort or HDMI 2.0). On your computer, go to display settings, choose the ROG Strix XG258QMG, and set refresh rate to 240 Hz. Also, on the monitor's OSD, you can enable the Overclock mode if needed.

How can I clean my monitor safely?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If necessary, slightly dampen with water or a screen cleaning solution designed for electronics. Do not spray directly on the screen, and avoid ammonia-based cleaners. Always unplug the monitor before cleaning.

Why is the screen flickering?

Flickering may be due to a loose cable, incompatible refresh rate, or the Flicker-Free feature being disabled. Check your cable connections, enable Flicker-Free in the OSD, and ensure the system is outputting a stable refresh rate.

Can I mount the monitor on a VESA arm?

Yes, the ROG Strix XG258QMG supports a 100 x 100 mm VESA mount. Remove the stand and screw the mount securely to the back panel. Make sure to use screws of the correct length.

How do I enable FreeSync?

Connect your AMD graphics card to a compatible DisplayPort or HDMI. Then, enable FreeSync in the monitor's On-Screen Display (OSD) menu and also in your software driver, such as AMD Radeon Settings. The monitor will then synchronize its refresh rate with your GPU output.

What does GamePlus do?

The GamePlus feature provides crosshairs, timer, FPS counter, and display alignment tools directly on the screen. It can be activated from the OSD and is especially useful for competitive gaming without needing external software.

Is it possible to adjust the height and angle?

Yes. The stand allows tilt, swivel, and height adjustments. Tilt ranges from -5° to +20°, swivel from -50° to +50°, and height from 0 to 100 mm, so you can find a comfortable viewing position.

How do I connect multiple devices to the monitor?

Use the two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort to connect up to three devices like a PC, console, and laptop. Switching between inputs is done via the OSD or the quick input button on the monitor.

Why do I see artifacts or ghosting in fast-paced games?

That could be due to a low refresh rate or the response time setting. Ensure you are running at 240 Hz and set the response time to the fastest option in the OSD. Also, enable Overdrive if available.

What should I do if the monitor has a dead pixel?

ASUS's warranty typically covers monitors with more than a certain number of dead pixels. Check the warranty policy. If it's within the covered limit, contact ASUS support for repair or replacement. You can also try a pixel-fixing software, but this is not always effective.

• Cleaning. Turn your monitor off and unplug the power cord. Clean the monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth dampened with mild cleaner.
• Avoid using a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with the monitor. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen, as it may drip inside the monitor and cause an electric shock.

The following symptoms are normal with the monitor:

• The screen may flicker during the initial use due to the nature of the fluorescent light. Turn off the Power Switch and turn it on again to make sure that the flicker disappears.
• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern you use.
• When the same image is displayed for hours, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after switching the image. The screen will recover slowly or you can turn off the Power Switch for hours.
