How to use ASUS OLED Care to protect your ROG OLED monitor

Your ROG OLED gaming monitor is built from the ground up to ensure a great gaming experience for the long term. To minimize the possibility of burn-in, we equip these premium displays with cutting-edge cooling solutions that include custom heatsinks and internal layouts meticulously designed for heat dissipation, and some models even use a graphene film to keep the panel cool and comfortable. But that’s just the start. Through ASUS OLED Care, we equip you to protect your investment with easy-to-use software features. The latest ROG OLED gaming monitors go even further with OLED Care Pro, which adds features including a Neo Proximity Sensor, customizable dimming controls, and more. 

Automatically reduce the risk of burn-in when you step away from the screen 

With the all-new ROG Swift OLED PG27UCDM, we’re boosting the protections we offer against burn-in even farther. Its advanced neo proximity sensor transitions the display to a black image whenever you step away, reducing your risk of burn-in every time you’re called away from the game. This sensor’s wavelength detection method guarantees accurate measurements of your distance from the display, without interference from random lights or colors, and for convenience the detection distance can be customized to suit your personal preferences.  

ASUS OLED Care defends your monitor against burn-in 

ASUS OLED Care is a full set of optimizations that protect your OLED panel against burn-in. Some functions act behind the scenes, but you can tweak and adjust others through an easy-to-access software menu. You’ll find that several are enabled by default. We give you the option to turn them off, but we urge you to leave them enabled as disabling them may affect your warranty coverage. 

Here’s what you’ll find in the ASUS OLED Care menu: 

• Screen Dimming Control. With Screen Saver enabled, your ROG OLED monitor will automatically decrease screen brightness when no screen movement is detected for a preset period of time. When it detects movement, like when you move your mouse, the display’s brightness will return to normal. 

• Adjust Logo Brightness. Keep this setting enabled to minimize the possibility of static onscreen logos leading to burn-in. With this feature toggled on, the monitor will automatically detect static logos and reduce their brightness to avoid potential image quality issues. 

• Taskbar detection. This setting dynamically detects the taskbar and reduces brightness around it to avoid burn-in.
• Boundary detection. With Boundary Detection enabled, your ROG OLED monitor will detect the boundaries of black bars, reduce the brightness, and slightly shift pixels near the borders.

• Outer Dimming Control. This feature automatically identifies and adjusts the brightest areas of the screen to reduce the risk of burn-in. 

• Global Dimming Control. This feature dynamically adjusts the overall brightness of the display to reduce the risk of burn-in. 

• Uniform brightness. This setting reduces peak brightness to keep levels consistent for a better viewing experience. It’s especially valuable for everyday use in Windows, as it keeps white windows at a consistent level of brightness even as you resize them. 

• Target mode. With this mode enabled, the entire display dims except for the uppermost active window, which will maintain its brightness. 

DisplayWidget Center keeps you in command 

To access ASUS OLED Care features, you have two choices. The tried-and-true on-screen display (OSD) menu is always an option. But you can also access all your monitor’s settings, including ASUS OLED Care, through the free-to-download ASUS DisplayWidget Center app. This Windows app lets you tweak monitor settings without even lifting your hands from your mouse and keyboard.
