There are very few tricky steps that you need to follow in order to calibrate the monitor.

Just a few changes here and there in your settings and your On-Screen Display (OSD) menu and you would be good to go. Just these few steps and you would achieve your ideal color profile settings.

Each Asus VG248QE Monitor is different from the other due to panel variance and you might have to do some further tweaks here and there according to your preference and that is something you need to keep at the back of your mind before you get started.

After trying and testing and making various tweaks here and there, these were a few of the best OSD settings.

Splendid Mode: Standard
Brightness: 64
Contrast: 74 or 75
Sharpness: 40
Saturation: 55
Color Temp: User
Smart view: Disabled
Skin Tone: Natural
Trace Free: 40
ASCR: Off

You can increase the brightness if you prefer much brighter images.

The ideal color temperature, though dependent on the user, should be 94 for green, 95 for red, and 88 for blue.

Here and also for any of the next options going above 60 in Trace free, on most occasions will lead to inverse ghosting.

Here is the next setting:

Splendid Mode: Theater
Brightness: 55
Contrast: 44
Sharpness: 40
Saturation: 55
Color Temp: User
Smart view: Disabled
Skin Tone: Natural
Trace Free: 50
ASCR: Off

Here too, you can increase the brightness to your preference.

The ideal color temperature for this though unlike the above would be 96 for green, 100 for red, and 92 for blue.

Here is the last ideal setting:

Splendid Mode: Theater
Brightness: 36
Contrast: 61
Sharpness: 49
Saturation: 61
Color Temp: User
Smart view: Disabled
Skin Tone: Natural
Trace Free: 40
ASCR: Off

Again, here too you are free to adjust the brightness as per your preference. The color temp here though would be 97 for green, 98 for red, and 86 for blue.

Aside from these above modifications you can say settings, there are some preset or default modes already present in your monitor.

If you don’t want all the confusion of all the various settings, then this might be the way to go. Let’s take a look at ways that you can use these settings to give you just the edge that you require.

Different Modes In Monitor

1. Scenery Mode

These modes are as basic as they come. Their images and the display of those images are sharp and bright. The saturation is quite high and very noticeable.

You can change and or modify some of the features like brightness, and color temp (Refer to a few of the color temp combinations mentioned above), and contrast with this preset scenery mode.

2. Theater Mode

This is again quite similar to Scenery Mode. The slight difference that you will notice is that there is a slight reduction in shade crushing as compared to the scenery mode.

The few setting modifications available with this model are again Contrast, Brightness, Saturation, Skin Tone, Color Temp, and Sharpness.

3. Game Mode

The Game mode falls in similar lines as the Theater Mode. Like Theater Mode there is a reduction in shade crushing however quite a bit of oversaturation happens.

You can change similar settings in the theater mode.

Meanwhile, If you are planning on another new gaming monitor, then you can refer to our article on white gaming monitors here.

4. Night View Mode

Here there is a bit of shade crushing, beaching, and oversaturation. The dark and black shades seem quite blended and differentiating between them becomes difficult as the contrast is on lower levels.

Settings like Color Temp, Contrast, Saturation, Sharpness, and Skin tone can be changed.
