Help with Asus VX228H Monitor

[DanielChoban]

I got this monitor from a friend of mine, and when i tried to turn it on, it just keeps flashing red, blue, green, white, and black. Ive tried to look up a solution online but found nothing so far. Any button i press on the monitor does nothing. Please help!

Im using a 2015 macbook pro 15"

pressing any button on the monitor itself does nothing. it only says on the error message "key 6 pressed" or "key 2 pressed" and it still flashes the colors

I have the same issue, I contacted customer support but the guy was not helpful. Also you cant access the menu or input and if it was working it would say "No Signal" if the HDMI was unplugged. My thoughts are that its a test menu before shipped to retailers and there is way to unlock it just dont know yet

I know this post is old but i had the same issue. I have a DVI going to my Desktop And a VGA going To the ASUS Monitor and in windows 10 i went to settings, system, display, Click detect then it should show up. On Asus click menu, system setup, Reset. Hope this works.
