Hello everyone,

I recently bought an Acer QG271 to work with my 2018 15-inch Macbook Pro (references attached), I connect both with an Amazon Basic HDMI to USB-C cable but the colors of the Acer Screen are not the same.

I'm a graphic designer and I tried EVERY parameters from the screen menu over the past weeks and it is impossible to match both devices. Colors are completely off on the screen, purple/green/blues are totally differents from my Macbook Pro.

Do you have any idea of the issue here? What can I try?

    This monitor has a VA panel and less color gamut than the MacBook screen. It is mostly used for gaming with less response time but cannot provide an accurate color output for the graphics design.

    You can check out the ConceptD monitor. It has a superior color accuracy that is perfect for graphics design. https://www.acer.com/us-en/conceptd/monitors/graphics/conceptd-cm2

    Thank you and have a nice day!

    @AnhEZ28 Thanks for the quick answer, and sorry about the delay I just discovered that all Acer mails were in the spam ;)

    Thanks for the info, I've been badly advised by a seller who told me colors would be accurate. If I knew I would have order a ConceptD monitor. Now I have this screen on my hands but I will think about it as it's more expensive.
