Acer is very slow to respond in these forums.
Overdrive makes the pixels transition colors faster, basically it reduces ghosting. It does this by "over-volting" the operating voltage of the pixels. BUT in doing so, especially in the extreme setting, it can make the pixels "overshoot" their desired color.
You can see an excellent test here: http://www.testufo.com/#test=ghosting
And read more about overdrive here: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/advancedcontent.htm
In short summary. Leave Overdrive on "normal".

Cant understand why i have got No Help Yet ! howver in reading about the constant questions about the firmware update.....i did see this so it helped some ( " I have FreeSync on through the DisplayPort and noticed the OverDrive function wasn't making any difference when set to different levels (off, normal and extreme) " so looks like that function is involved with the OVER DRIVE some how ?

Thanks hymcccord..(and yes i see tons of unanswered "acer" products questions ! )......I sure will leave that option in "normal" mode.....and On the ACER drivers....for the monitor I downloaded them.....However are they for a new build?...the manuel is pretty weak on infomation about setting the tweets in the OSD !....and during game play....i felt that power pack and it gets pretty warm.....seems to me it needs vented or have fins to radiate heat better.....i keep mine laying on the small side to allow heat to radiate off it better... Thanks to all who help .

Thank you so much! I literally found this answer after 30 seconds of searching! I read the post, went to the test site, and I turned OD "Off" and it COMPLETELY fixed the ghosting/color-mismatch I kept seeing with large amounts of motion!
