Acer XF270HUA Overdrive
Posted: 29 May 2017, 12:29
Hey,
I recently bought this monitor and I don't know what to do now.
My problem is that I've got a perfect panel (without any dust, dead pixels, just light bleed), after I've tried some MG279Qs without any success, but it appears to be that FreeSync and Overdrive is not working together.
Acer says, that Overdrive is adapting automatically, when FreeSync is activated.
I compared all the overdrive settings including FreeSync mode using the UFO test.
With FreeSync on the ghosting is comparable to the overdrive setting "off".
Can somebody tell me, how to see/detect ghosting in games?
I tried to detect it in BF4 and CS and I switched the overdrive setting on and off, but I just can't see any difference at all.
At least I can say, that there is more blur and 144 Hz does not feel alright anymore.
But I notice ghosting in the UFO test or when scrolling text on a white background really fast.
Otherwise when removing the FreeSync range with CRU and using the monitor in it's normale mode and Overdrive set on "normal" or "extreme" it's a very nice and fun monitor.
I think I'm either blind or just insensitive regarding ghosting in games?
As far as I understand FreeSync only works in 3D-applications and it does not support browsers (Chrome, Firefox etc.).
Is this the reason why Overdrive does not work using the UFO test?
Although I'm getting the same weird 144 Hz feeling with FreeSync as with Overdrive set to "off".
Such a bummer for a 529€ monitor.
Samsung's VAs also has issues with FreeSync, but I will try the new C24FG73 once it's released.
I will lose the nice resolution, but I'll get strobbing and maybe finally a flawless monitor.
Maybe G-Sync is better after all and I should switch to Nvidia...
