Applied color profile from luqmanz , for my QA variant.

Color looks like Galaxy S9 (AMOLED Photo mode)

However my PS42 was set to sRGB mode, but the color looks more vivid than others.

can some owner please capture a video during gameplay for this monitor?! the price is just too good to be left ALONE!

i am using a 1080ti, so g sync will work nicely? and i would need to get a displayport cable right?

G-Sync does work. U need a DisplayPort cable.

Can try to look for viewsonic curved 144HZ (around RM650), not sure about that one G-Sync tho.

Regarding the Acer KG241QA. I got a slight issue with it. When Im using HDMI cable, I can get 144hz. But when I use DisplayPort, 1.1 (change through monitor physical button) allow me to get up to 144Hz, however 1.2 only gets me to 92Hz, if I set higher than that it will become black screen with flicker. This is weird considering 1.2 supposed to be better than 1.1. I'm using Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming btw, it has 3 DP ports, and all end in same result. I bought new DP cable thinking old one is damaged, but no avail.

Maybe you need a better quality DP cable?
Many cheap DP cables are rubbish and cause problems when higher refresh rate, higher bandwidth are required. Just use the old cable if its working already. Does DP 1.2 cable add anything other than higher bandwidth for 4k 120hz?

There is no version for DP cable, I did try with 2 cables. Right now I just settled with DP1.1 config on the monitor. I still somehow can enable Freesync with 144Hz. I have feeling it's just software bug.

Oh I see. So your 1.1 and 1.2 is based on choosing on the monitor OSD? That's quite weird.
Maybe try a firmware update if its available for your monitor?

Yeah, I will try the firmware update if there is any. But as of now, everything is fine so I won't bother much.

So do ACER KG241QA support g sync over display port? I'm planning to get this

Edit: Oh answered already, thanks

ACER KG241QA vs Viewsonic VX2458-C-MHD, TN vs VA, new dilemma. I know VAs have better colour and contrast, but I cant stand motion blur and ghosting..... and the curve is so unnecessary...

Guess I will go with the acer...

And the color profile is it just set up using setting inside the monitor? anything else need to done?

how is it so far? are the shades of black good? Is the 144hz smooth? I'm planning on getting the qa model too but I'm kinda sketched out by how few video reviews there are so you guys are my only bet I don't make the wrong decision tongue.gif

If you are ok with TN panel .... this monitor is good ... 144hz is smooth and color just need little bit tweaking to your liking ... it even works with Nvidia Gsync on Displayport

thanks for the input! yeah I'm fine with it being a tn monitor I want the best response times for R6 and similar games just a lil worried about buyer remorse cause the Rm500-800 144hz monitor options are so damn confusing.
But if there aren't any obvious downsides, for the price I can't complain smile.gif

Just bought it today.
The bezel is actually thicker than it seems in photo .but no problem for me.

Color isnt too bad initially. I recalibrated using Spyder5 and now it looks like my LG ips monitor.

The freesync range is 48-144.  I changed to 35-144 and have no problem gaming so far.

At this price.. its a STEAL ... its much better than I expected.. no ghosting so the 1ms claim is real i think.

Worth every penny. The leg isnt very flexible.. can tilt up/down only.. but sturdy enough

thanks for sharing the colour profile. followed yours and it's so much better than the default settings.
