Can't figure out how to close my previous one so making this one as an update, found the color profile that words for SDR however can't find any HDR profiles. The monitor when in HDR mode looks washed out and dark, anyone got an HDR color profile?

    Hi @TheEchoViber

    Download and install a monitor driver and color profile on Windows from the Acer support website 

    In most cases, monitor drivers and color profiles are installed automatically on your Windows-based PC. These usually consist of a few files, one with the extension INF, and one with the extension ICM. The INF file is used by Windows for the main driver installation and the ICM file has the color profile for the monitor that allows Windows to match and display colors more accurately. 

    Here are the steps to help you download and install the latest driver and color profile. 

    1. Go to the Acer Drivers & Manuals website. 
    2. Enter your device serial number, SNID or model number. You can also use the dropdown menu to search for your series and specific monitor model number. 
    3. Select the correct operating system for the driver you need. 
    4. Click Download, which will download a zip file containing the files you need. 
    5. Unzip the file by double-clicking it. This will extract the files you will need to update your driver (.INF) and color profile (.ICM). 
    6. Navigate to the .INF or .ICM file that was extracted from the zip file.
    7. Right-click on the file, and select Install Profile.

    Hi @TheEchoViber

    Please install the Colour Calibrator and get the colour calibration done.

    Also please provide the following details of your computer's exact model number, GPU and the Operating system used in your computer for a better understanding of the issue.

    Yeah, neither of those will work, since there aren't color calibration profiles for these gaming monitors. The color calibrator is for the ConceptD line of monitors, which are designed for graphics professionals.
