Wait wtf ?
ONLY 40% of refresh compliance ?! what a joke...
About UFO and Frog test, looks good but what about the true feeling and experience...
What about playing games like Apex Legends which are limited at 300fps ? :/

Sounds interesting !
What about coating and brightness ?
It is sharp enough to not vomit ?
Sorry haven't checked these forums lately.
Coating is pretty thick but if you don't focus on it, it's fine. If you 'look' for it, then you may be like 'wtf is this grainy shit on my screen'. I think it's fine, doesn't bother me.
It is super bright. For me even a bit too bright.
It is sharp, clarity is fine. Acer does have a super sharpness mode but it is garbage, it seems to add black outlines to objects with some sort of hardware aliasing.

On those pictures / refresh compliance pictures that were posted - those numbers seem really trash? especially compared to results from other 540hz panels. It definitely doesn't have 5ms+ response for moving to 255. And non of the froggy / motion pictures are using VRB? so not sure what we are supposed to draw from that, since the whole point of these TN panels is that they work great with strobing.
Anyway I am very happy with this, even months on. It is a no brainer to get this panel at this price vs the alternatives if you are into your fast paced fps games.

Hi!

Could you please help me with my decision to purchase this beast. I have a few concerns, but could not find much info.
I play a very fast paced shooter and I think 480/500/540 hz strobing would benefit me more. Ik about 480 oleds and I've seen the new 480 hz 32' lg monitor.

Those who own this acer monitor can you please tell me:

If it strobes properly on 500/480/360/240 hz?
Does lowering refresh rate improve clarity?

What if my fps drops sometimes, depending on maps, e.g. down to 420.. Does it create significant image doubling/visual difficulties?

Thank you very much!

Yes it strobes properly at lower refresh rates, it appears Ok. I wouldn't say it improves clarity, however I also haven't tried lowering the hz while increasing the blanking space with cru which might yield better clarity overall. In general this monitor looks good in bottom 2/3rds of screen, top 1/3rd has crosstalk.
I run with VRB enabled and at 540hz all the time, no matter what game I play. Even if I am playing more graphically intense games and only getting 100fps. I don't notice any bad side effects from this.

Are there any other OSRTT tests with differnt OD modes / ultra low latency settings? I would like to know how much OD modes are there and whether you can set custom OD values
