ASUS PG27VQ change colors, cant overclock bug

Post by A1MSTAR_ » 01 Oct 2018, 05:00

Hey, I bought an Asus PG27VQ 30days ago. And now I have the problem that it shows blue/red/green/white at startup and can't be overclocked to 165hz -

according to Asus Forum: "the monitor seems to be in factory mode. You can easily get out of this mode by deactivating 2 things in the manufacturer menu/service menu."

And now to the actual problem ... how do I get into this service menu (with which key combination) to switch off Factory Mode and burn in pattern fields?

Yeah, this may be one of the factory/debug modes.

Try these tips
step 1:Turn the monitor on
step 2:Press and hold the menu button down
step3:"UNPLUG the Monitor" (keep holding the menu button)
step 4: plug the monitor back in and power on (what I found doesnt specify when to release the menu button so i would just hold it down the whole time until its back on)
step 5: your supposed to be able to navigate the service menu at this point.
or
To turn off debug mode on PG279Q
1. Turn off the monitor
2. Click on Gameplus key twice
3. click the key 5-way button twice
4. next, click exit key on 5 way button twice
5. it will enter factor mode
6. Enter OSD -> System Setup -> All Reset -> Yes
7. Go to Light in Motion -> On
Warning: Try at own risk.

This may not be the same on other monitors, but it's worth a try if your monitor is unexpectedly stuck in Factory mode or Debug mode;

Some people needed to RMA when this happened, but let me know if you manage to turn off this mode.
