Hey guys,

I just bought an Acer Predator Monitor XB271HUA and have this weird problem that my screen flickers every now and then when watching a video in fullscreen. So far I have not had any issues while in game, only while watching a youtube video for example, or twitch. Anyone knows how to fix this?

    NVIDIA control panel - Adjust desktop color settings - Content type reported to the display -> Desktop programs

    See if this fixes the problem?.

    BElieve in YOUrself.

    Already had it set to that. A friend said it might be because of hardware acceleration, so I disabled it for google chrome. That seems to have done the trick so far. Still open to other solutions, in case its not this.
