PG279Q detected as Generic PnP

[138195_1454180536]

System Info

 

        Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit

        Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor

        Memory: 8192MB RAM

        DirectX Version: DirectX 12

        Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

        Drive: Samsung SSD 750 EVO 250GB

        Motherboard: ASRock 970M PRO3

 

So, got the PG279Q in today. Hooked it up with the included displayport cable. It's getting recognized as a generic PnP. All graphics card drivers are up to dates and windows is up to date as well. I wrote all information from the included drivers and utilities CD to SSD, restarted and still nothing. Why is my monitor not being recognized?

All monitors are by default recognized as Generic PnP monitor. It doesn't really matter though.

 

If you really want Windows to display your actual monitor name then do this:
Right-click desktop

Display Settings

Graphics Adapter settings

Monitor tab

Properties

Driver tab

Update driver

Find driver in this PC

then navigate to where the driver is and select it (if it is on the CD then navigate it in there)

You can always get the driver here if you're annoyed by it.  I have a PG279 as well and I haven't bothered:

i was able to fix it and made a new thread about it, my explanation was so trash so if you need extra help you can let me know

You can get Asus's driver to make the name appear correctly, but that literally changes nothing else afaik.
