Acer Nitro XV275UP3 broken Freesync, insane flickering, faulty implemented feature out of the box

Hello!

The Acer Nitro XV275UP3 has a faulty implemented feature out of the box, Freesync is not working properly in games with adaptive dimming enabled (with proper HDR ON, THE main feature why this monitor is even concidered for purchase).

It has insane flickering -

We need a firmware update ASAP, it's crazy to me that there is still no update available since the release date of this monitor.

It's unaceptable to ship unfinished product with bugs and still after 6+ months there is no firmware update available to fix this issue.

And I'm not bringing up quite bad scanlines on refrashrates over 120hz… at least we have a workaround for that, we can manually lower refreshrate to somewhat mitigate it..
But with Freesync it's other story..

Please fix it.

I heard about bad VA panel freesync Flickering.

However, most of time culprit is Amd freesync LFC feature. It activates when fps goes below freesync range.

Try to change Freesync range 1 to 120Hz (max refresh rate) from Cru Utility.

Steps-

CRU Utility- https://www.monitortests.com/download/cru/cru-1.5.2.zip

-Using FreeSync over HDMI, you’ll have to edit the extension block.

-In the ‘Extension Block’ window, select ‘FreeSync range’, and then click ‘Edit’.

-Type in the range you want to set and click ‘OK’ on all three windows.

-Restart your laptop and check

(This settings may reset after gpu driver update or reinstall)

Necroposting but yes: I notice the insane flickering with HDR when activate Gsync too. Tried already many workarounds (Changing Freesync range with CRU for example) but nothing fixed it. Else its a great monitor.
