Hello, everybody,

I have recently purchased an ACER Nitro VG270UP and compared it to my previous Dell IPS panel. But I don't need to talk about that, because I'm really happy about 144Hz and an IPS panel  
Meanwhile I found at least one setting that worried me: The SRGB mode.
With this I can edit my photos almost color-true.
Unfortunately only almost. At the moment the monitor still sets the color temperature to "warm" when I activate the SRGB mode.
This is a problem when editing photos, but curiously it can't be changed.
Neither can I change the color temperature directly on the display after activating the srgb mode, nor can I do it with the Acer Display Widget.
If I customize it in the menu and export the config with the widget, it doesn't export the part I want.

My question now: Can I do anything here to get the color temperature on default with activated srgb mode? In my opinion this is definitely a bug.

Thanks in advance for the help.

    Same issue with the vg271up. Color temp seems to be well bellow 6000k compared to another monitor when the vg is set in sRGB color space.

    Also on my monitor, when switching to srgb the "super sharpness" turns on itself which completely ruins the image. 
    Super sharpness can be set to off but doesn't remain off if the monitor is powered off overnight, also the brightness resets to srgb default 30. I have also had the osd settings randomly completely reset after overnight power off.

    Srgb to me seems like the only mode with usable colors. All other modes either oversaturate or cause black crush or both.

    No flickering or lightbleed on my unit.
