guys is the display just not very bright at max brightness?

yep, not really bright. im using v nitro before, and now switch to msi ge60. i'd say this msi is about 30% brighter than the ips on the v nitro. nod.gif

its driving me crazyyyyyyyyyyy. My laptop will suddenly lag and audio will have shuttering sound/loop back 1 second/crackling sound. The lag is terrible and screen and mouse will freeze like 0.5 seconds. Once i restart, no issue d. But 1 hour later, come back again.
zzzz

Looks a bit similar the problem. hmm.gif

Greetings V Nitro owners,

Did anyone one of you facing problem in which Dolby Digital Plus turned off automatically upon loading DOTA 2 or CSGO? Everytime I have to alt-tab to manually turn it on myself and when play another round it will auto turn off DDP again...............................

Any solution?
*
This is a well known issue for the Dolby Theater with DOTA 2 and CSGO. No solution u just got to turn it on back. It only happen when the game start for example in dota after loading, when want choose hero u hear "all pick" dolby auto off dy. Annoying i know.. This issue has been since on my 4830tg about 3 years ago. sweat.gif

hey guys, just a word of advise, dont install the updates to the geforce drivers from the nvidia geforce experience app, coz my pc had some weird issues, but not frequently, maybe twice in a month the pc will auto reboot while sleeping, and i managed to find out the cause which is the gpu drivers. if you did update the drivers, just go to acer website and install the old one back

damn, u mean the 347.88?

I owned the 4720HQ version and the wifi so far no problem but plying dota 2 sometime will experience high ping (not sure is about the internet or the wifi)
other problem i think is the cpu and the gpu get overheat easily (for mine)
*
Gets overheat easily? Previously when i use v nitro it rarely heats up when gaming. Always stays cool below 83'C. sweat.gif btw whats your temp while gaming? Do u lift the laptop a bit high at the back side so that its easy for air to flow. And i suggest gaming on air conditioned room / put a fan directly to your laptop. This help to cool down the temperature even more. I kind miss the v nitro dual cooling system. Now that i use the msi ge60, i only got one cooling system, my cpu is cool, but not my gpu. But it still stays below 86'C. sweat.gif

Nope, not playing games only some programs running. It's at the right side. Not really"hot", but warm, or above human temperature. Nvidia not used.
[attachmentid=4388953]
*
What program did u run to achieve such temperature? is it benchmarking program? btw one thing i notice when i used the nitro before is the hard disk temperature tends to get really hot. always above 40C especially if ure in non air-conditioned room, it tends to go around 45C to 49C. sweat.gif

Guys my laptop reached 100% it wont have like what plugged - not charging , it keep on showing charged - plugged in . Wouldn't it affect the battery . battery life? HMMM
*
It certainly will affect the battery life. But the effect is not as bad as heat. Heat is battery no.1 enemy. I suggest just unplug the charger whenever it reaches 100%. nod.gif or even better just use the battery as u wish since sooner or later the battery will deteriorate anyway, thats the side effect of built in battery. biggrin.gif

Okay thanks , why other will have like not charging why mine won't? and what laptop cooler do u recommend me to get? biggrin.gif
*
Different manufacturer different setting. Actually when i use v nitro before this i never use any cooler, since the fan is at the back theres no point of using cooler, just make sure that u lift up the back part a bit higher so that the air can easily flow. That would do the trick. U can try and see the difference in temperature when u lift and not lift the back. thumbup.gif

You used what laptop before this?

Previously im using V Nitro, now already changed to Y50 and totally in love with it. And yes i love the conservative mode which stops the battery from charging at 55%-60%. brows.gif

Yeah.. Lenovo Energy Management right  brows.gif
Previously Y580  icon_idea.gif

If not for the TN panel and slightly more bulky, I would have bought Y50 too  drool.gif  My first ever Acer really, I must say not really that satisfy  sweat.gif
*
Trust me bro, ive used the Nitro i used to recommend ppl to go for it but now honestly there's nothing that i really missed about it. biggrin.gif Even the not really satisfying "IPS" display on it. To me the most beautiful IPS display ive ever used is on the MSI GE60 Samsung PLS. nod.gif

Plus the cooling difference, Y50 performs great averaging around 72C in Battlefield 4 while Nitro averaging around 87C with same settings. nod.gif

And also the build quality, on Nitro u got to be really careful with the material that they use on the body especially on the cover lid. (Easily scratch and chip off).

Last but not least, the Lenovo Energy Management as uve mentioned. brows.gif Overall Y50 is better in every way except for the TN Panel which i already got used to after a week of using it. biggrin.gif

When I'm buying the nitro, I poisoned my friend to get Y50 too haha and yep, Build/Material quality is inferior compared to Y50, backlit on Y50 keyboard is a lot better too. I take care of my laptop really well (OCD haha) and there's already chip on the surface coating at the bottom near the rubber stand

Wellll, got Acer cus of its design (prefer more 'typical' looking laptop) and IPS screen, but ended up buying a Monitor cus my unit have a 'white spot' on screen  sweat.gif and also a dead pixel, which I quote the service center girl saying "dead pixel tu standard la"  doh.gif I believe few here also having this prob. Went service center twice ady now still waiting for part.
*
Ya bro, thats why i said the IPS screen is really not up to standard. I also have the white spot issue before this. Its really annoying, and also a small white pixel on the screen. And the screen quality is also not good, as the screen surface somehow quite easy to catch dirt and its hard to clean it when compared to other laptop screen. I dont know maybe i got a lemon unit thus i already sell it and feel "lega" gila after that. biggrin.gif sweat.gif yup the rubber surface on nitro really annoying. I remember last time i got plenty of chipping. Padahal i take good care of the laptop. sweat.gif

Hey, the palm rest area on the right side gets uncomfortably warm. Is this normal under just normal usage? Web browsing only? Even in an air-conditioned room.

Previously when im using V Nitro i also encounter this. But it does not happen regularly, sometimes only. I think its because of the Hard Drive warms up. nod.gif

Mine has been happening all the time. Currently using an external display and wireless keyboard so not rally affecting but those times when I check or have to use it on the go, it feels quite warm. For its price point, its quite unacceptable, if you ask me and I'm seriously considering having it sent back for warranty claims. Current CPU temp according to Intel Tuning Utility fluctuates between 51 - 52 degrees. Was using a Vaio before this and that device was always super cool (aluminum shell) no matter how hard I pushed it.

51'C-52'C is quite normal for V Nitro bro. nod.gif

QUOTE(ultra_nyamuk @ Jun 11 2015, 09:16 PM)
So white spot on the screen is very common eh? I too kinda regret getting v nitro. Can see the coating coming off already altho its mostly on my desktop. Performance is good. Screen is nice to look at,except for that white spot. I thought of giving acer a chance..but I think I wont buy acer anymore.
*
Yap, can confirmed that its normal. I got 2 white spots on my screen previously. And yeah the coating sucks too. Thats why i sell the laptop. Lol. laugh.gif
