Are Aura Sync monitors not supported by Armoury Crate?

I just got a new monitor with Aura Sync, and it does not like Armoury Crate at all. Before this, my Aura Sync keyboard, motherboard, and mouse worked (mostly) fine with Armoury Crate, but with this new monitor, bugs aplenty. I've had to uninstall Armoury Crate and reinstall the old Aura Sync software, and that seems to be working for now.

Was I supposed to avoid using my monitor in Armoury Crate?

PG35VQ isn't compatible either.
Not a fan of ASUS software. Always been too glitchy from beginning to end. Aura has been out for a long time and never worked right. Armory crate is something that never worked with more things that dont work added to it. I gave up and set my monitor using OSD and went all corsair that has a plug in for the MOBOs. Only thing it wont do with the MOBOs are the addressable headers but I dont use them anyhow as all my stuff is corsair.

My PG349Q works with aurasync set from Armoury Crate. BUT if I want to create a theme with aura creator, my monitor doesn't show in the list. So the lighting I create doesn't apply to monitor but does in everywhere else. I think it's a big design failure from Asus. What if unsupported component would be for example a keyuboard. Nice to write without lighting...

It's not a surprise that you have issues with mixed setups, but my setup is all Asus (GA35DX, Gladius III wireless, Claymore II, H3 TUF Gaming and this display. And even my deskmat is Asus!), so it's really pity that Asus softwares work so badly even in all Asus setup which is probably the easiest setup in driver-wise. Money spent almost 8000 euros, and still the weakest link in setup is Armoury Crate which is btw the only way to install keyboard and mouse drivers, so I cannot even get rid of it if I wanted to.
