[ProArt Display ] How to use ASUS LCD Monitor WHQL Driver?

Manufacturers of hardware and/or software are approved to use a "Certified for Windows" logo on their product packaging and advertising when their product has passed WHQL. Device drivers are also tested and WHQL certified by Microsoft.

When the WHQL driver of the monitor is not installed, the monitor will display "General PnP Monitor" under the device manager.

After installation, it will be displayed as the Model name used, and some monitor settings can be set from the computer side.
