Hi, my os- win11, gpu - Asrock AMD rx 7800xt challenger oc,

yesterday i bought acer nitro vg271u m3 monitor for my pc. On my monitor's official product support page Product Support - VG271UM3 | Acer United Kingdom i see a driver to dowload of 10 kb size and has 3 files - VG271U M3.INF, VG271U M3.icm and vg271u m3.cat.

    Just right click the .inf file and choose Install from the context menu. It likely won't change anything, since all the data is also available using plun and play.

    Also that .icm file is HDR or SDR color profile? my monitor supports HDR.
