Hello all, hope all is well.
I've bought a brand new monitor: ASUS VG248QE
But here's the problem, when the monitor arrived, it came with a CD of what I assume would be drivers for the monitor. However, my PC doesn't have a generic CD/DVD reader. I've installed and connected the monitor to the PC, and all is working. However, in my 'Setting>Display' section, Windows detects it as a "Generic PnP Monitor".
That's not supposed to happen, right? It should detect the monitor as it is.
I've tried to look for the ASUS WHQL Driver for Windows 10, but no luck.
Can someone please lead me to the right direction here?
It'd be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You have to use the supplied DVI cable in order to be able to change the refresh rate to 144Hz.

Alright got the problem sorted out. I did a clean install of the GPU display drivers. Didn't think it'd work, but it did. Everything functioning as meant to. 144Hz looks marvellous. And yeah I was using the supplied DVI all this time by the way.

Anyways, cheers for the help pal, appreciate it

Alright I'm back. I've tried what you suggested. I've plugged in an HDMI cable instead to see if it works, but in my Settings it only lets me go up to 60Hz. So that didn't work. However, I did get the ASUS MultiFrame tool working, no idea how though. It just launched up on its own.

The question is: is there actually no specific driver for the monitor, so Windows can display it as an "ASUS" monitor instead of a Generic PnP Monitor?

Why is it so important for you what windows shows? As far as I understood, your display was first sold on 2012, so this could be the reason it is not recognized by windows. But the only important thing is the driver shown in the Device manager. You could also try to update the driver from the Device manager.

Remember about using the 'inf' driver and installing via device manager.....
