ASUS-exclusive GameVisual technology provides up to six preset display modes (Scenery, Racing, Cinema, RTS/RPG, FPS, and srgb) to suit different game genres. This unique feature can be easily accessed through a hotkey or the OSD settings menu. Each mode can be user-customized, with an additional User mode available for saving these settings. In addition, all customized GameVisual settings can be saved in an AXML file format that can be applied to any identical monitor, for example by another user.

The FPS counter lets users know how smoothly the game is running. Activating the display alignment function gives users three alignment lines on all four corners of the monitor to take the guesswork out of multi-display set-ups. ERGONOMICALLY DESIGNED AND WALL-MOUNTABLE MG248Q, MG28UQ and MG24UQ are specially designed for marathon gaming sessions. All three monitors have ergonomically-designed stands with full tilt, swivel, pivot, and height adjustment so gamers can find their preferred comfortable viewing position.
