You really only get what you pay for

First of all, I'm going to keep it mainly because I don't want to hassle with packing and shipping it back. But I probably won't buy again. I bought it when it was barely on the market and hardly anyone was talking about it. I should also mention that I've switched from an ASUS VG248QE, so I'm incredibly spoiled for motion blur, which is plentiful by comparison. it's simple." and the answer is yes, the backlight occasionally blinks white. I only seem to see it out of the corner of my eye in darker areas when looking at the bright image in the center, so it took a while to catch up Actually check it out and make sure my mind isn't playing tricks on me. It works with GSYNC by features. It's not officially compatible, but if you enable Freesync on the monitor, you can enable it from the NVidia control panel. And the Monitor has a built in refresh Evaluate the OSD menu in the corner when you want to turn it on and see if it actually works Unfortunately my GTX 1070 gets a bit weak to output that many pixels and I found the timing of the Refresh rate a bit clunky Depending on your graphics card your mileage may vary I wouldn't use monitor overload mode even with "normal" which is the lower de With the settings enabled, the edges of the images change color when I scroll through web pages. It's hard to see in games, but you always get the feeling that something is wrong. There's not much to say about HDR, so I just turned it off. And at max refresh rate with the backlight on, I would call it motion blur. passable. I don't game as much as I used to, but when I was a kid CRT monitors were all there was, so I'm constantly chasing that blur-free image, and I've never been quite happy with an LCD/LED monitor . . But my aforementioned ASUS has been my yardstick by which I judge others, and this one just isn't that good. I still like the wide screen and high resolution, so I will play my MMOs on it. But I wouldn't want to rock Fortnite or Rocket League on something that still feels too slow. I should also mention the base. I tightened it as best I could, but it didn't seem quite tight. There was a slight wobble that caused the monitor to tilt slightly. It's such a large monitor that it's going to be difficult to balance, so it really stands out because ACER hasn't bothered to test a base build that can handle it fully. Because it's such a long monitor, it's noticeable that one corner of the screen is a little closer to the table than the other. Since it doesn't have a rotation setting, I had something under one side to keep it going. I ended up buying a large metal frame to hold my old ASUS over it and I'm actually quite happy with the setup. After all, this probably won't be the monitor I've been using for years. and really dig my heels when you upgrade compared to this ASUS. At this point, I'll probably start saving money little by little until I can afford one of LG's ultra-fast OLED TVs to use as a monitor, and then just use a dual-monitor screen-sharing program in my never-ending quest. to finally get rid of motion blur.
