This project contains a setup to reproduce an ASUS PG258Q monitor bug. This bug moves about 10 columns of pixels from the middle to the left of the screen. There is a thread on this bug on [the ASUS forum here.][1]

This is a photo of the top left part of the monitor with the problem.
Because this bug only seems to occur every ones in a while, I build a setup to reproduce the bug. The setup is a USB camera pointed at the monitor and a batch file running an [OpenSesame][2] task a hundred times. This experiment starts in a non native resolution (640x480) and saves an image of the USB camera every run.
Use runOnes.bat to create a single image and align the webcam. Use run.bat to really do the test and create 100 images.

The setup.
After completion of the automatic part one can easily go through the images saved and count the occurrences of the problem. This translates into a percentage of occurrences of the problem in that run of the batch script.
The data folder contains folders with the images of runs in the following format:
[run number]_[percentage the problem occurred]
The file *readme.txt* contains an overview of the runs.
See https://osf.io/3g2a7/wiki/Installation/ for installation and usage.
