Windows 10: Need some general advice on what kind of monitor I should be looking for

Generic PNP monitor

Hello,

I use a CAD program that apparently has a problem with my ASUS 4K monitor. Seems I've tried every which way to get Window to recognize my monitor but, all I get is . . generic PnP monitor with an old 2006 driver. I've downloaded the current monitor

Any advice would be most welcome.

Thanks,

Tom
