You can trigger it via a hotkey and then hit ESC to cancel without actually taking a screenshot if all you want to do is use the crosshairs for alignment.Īs others have mentioned, xScope is another option, although it's costly if all you need is crosshairs. There are a few bugs but it gets the job done.Īnother possible solution: Monosnap is a free screen capture app that displays full-screen crosshairs when capturing an area. It has crosshairs, a magnifier, grid/image overlays, adjustable keybindings, and many other customizations. Red Lines Tools (App Store, currently free as of 2/2023). It's a bit costly as a standalone app for just a crosshair, but it's included in Setapp as well. PixelSnap 2 is a well designed app that provides great crosshair & measurement tools. Available via AppStore or as part of Setapp if you happen to subscribe to that. Still undecided if my next monitor will be from Asus.QuickLens has an excellent set of tools: a full screen live crosshair, movable/lockable guides, ruler and a few other measurement, magnification and alignment tools. Dave from Accounting is not a 'pro-gamer', no matter what he tells you. Especially as they basically lied to us saying these crosshairs were designed with 'pro-gamers' being consulted. While I'm glad to see that newer monitors have a dot option and I don't even care about the only 2 colors bit I'm a bit disappointed that there hasn't been a driver update for the old monitors. you won't have games running on it) just buy something much cheaper with lower specs. No point being stuck with an old monitor with outdated features. IMO you should return the 24' one and buy something else. I can't seem to find any info on firmware updates for monitors, so I guess we're SOL. How there is no Firmware update for both displays? The LEAST I could expect from very expensive displays, and from a company that sells them as the very best for gaming, are firmware updates that give the Dot Crosshair option to the PG258Q just like the PG27UQ, and also allows you to choose the crosshair color and transparency. Is inconceivable to me that, from the two displays that I brought at the very same day, the 24' PG258Q have two very obstructives and obnoxious crosshairs with just two colors to chose, while the 27' display have the same two, plus another (very reasonable) Dot Crosshair, but also with just two colors.
