Hello, fresh owner of XV282K monitor here and as a past owner of Eizo and HP Omen products Acer Display Widget is crucial tool for me.

While in Windows I use the display at minimal brightness and when I play games I want gaming profile with brightness increased. Acer Display Widget is a simple tool and it does its job but I found one issue.

THE ISSUE: With Visual Sync enabled in Widget (the feature that detects software you are currently running to adjust the profile) and working in Windows (or doing anything simple like opening folders, start menu interactions etc.) each mouse click causes the whole screen to gain high brightness for milliseconds. Each interaction with desktop icons/folders/start menu buttons does that. It's very annoying and it's the Visual Sync feature monitoring causing this. As soon as I disable it the issue is gone. But that's not the point of the feature.

Have anyone noticed the same? Is Widget software updated frequently to fix such issues?
