(1) Can you post a photograph of your frameskipping?
Note: You will need to use a fairly long exposure (e.g. 1/4sec) since it is often a 1-in-40 frameskip (6 refresh cycles per second skipped per second). To do that on a smartphone, use a camera app with manual exposure. Alternatively, adjust brightness of your screen to near-minimum and use a totally dark room, to force your smartphone to photograph on its longest exposure.
We have to be absolutely sure that the frameskipping is the monitor, and not the browser. Use Performance Mode (100% CPU) and photograph only when seeing green "READY."

(2) A lot of the non-GSYNC 240Hz monitors apparently has had frameskipping reports (in non-FreeSync mode)
Can you install ToastyX CRU and screenshot your timings screen so I know what EDID 240Hz settings that your AW2518HF uses?

(3) Try out either the XG2530 or AF251FZ fixes pictured below:

The frameskipping fix is not necessary for Dell.

Any past frameskipping reports on the Dell have been wild goose chases so far.
I would need proof from http://www.testufo.com/frameskipping ...

To uninstall, run "reset-all.exe" that came with ToastyX CRU.

NOTE: All ViewSonic XG2530 monitors now purchased today on Amazon all now have the frameskipping fix in the firmware. They were the first vendor to quickly and successfully fix 240Hz frameskipping (thanks to the help of BlurBusters frameskipping tests). This is now only necessary for very few of the very first XG2530's on the market, as the old inventory has now been cleared out.
Hello master, I have an Alienware AW2518HF 240hz Freesync. Copy absolutely all the values ​​of your print here not RAW to test. How do you know if this custom solution I created is really working?

Should I test with absolutely all the values ​​of your copied forms or just a few specific ones? Like another galaxy posting CRU prints with different values, or which would be the best? Should I see any improvement in using this? Is there any consequence?

Thank you
