    same issue started to happen for me took a week of gaming to focus on studies and it just started. Seems to be anything above 82 but I can still use hdr. Had the monitor for like 5 years now so I’m not to bummed about it but it is still sad to see a expensive monitor break.

    I have the same issue.

    I bought my monitor in late 2020. It was not cheap, but I thought I was investing in a monitor that would last me a while. The black screen flashes started happening in 2024. I was able to stop it for a while by reducing my brightness to 68. Every month or so it starts flashing again and I have to reduce it even more. I am now down to a brightness of 50. I have a new Asus monitor coming in a few days.

    I will NEVER buy another Acer product again.

    I am sorry to hear that many others are also experiencing the same issue, especially with the price of the monitors. With so many facing the same problem (including some on Reddit), it seems like it is a genuine issue with the monitors and not just a few that have become old. I wish Acer would respond to assist or at least provide some advice.

    First, check Device Manager for any red or yellow warnings. Make sure you have most recent driver installed from this link. Next, run a 3rd party driver scanner freeware. Finally, check the monitor behavior on another PC to rule in/out graphics adapter.
