Z271 strange issue with 144hz

I'm also having the exact same problem with my monitor. Z271 Predator Curved. Happens constantly after short intervals of play when trying to reach above 70 odd FPS. If i lock the frames below that withing games that allow me to do so, the problem seems to arise far less often. From what i have found online the problem can be fixed with a firmware update.

My question is how do i go about organizing to have this firmware update applied to my monitor. I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Please tell me there is somewhere within Australia this can be done.

Looking for a mod/customer support reply Please.

Hi,

I may have found a solution, that works on Windows 10 (with PUBG anyway).

1. Right Click Desktop
2. Click 'Display Settings'
3. Scroll down to '3D display mode' (Screen will go black for a little while don't panic)
4. Load PUBG
5. Game will start and look strange with shadows, ALT+TAB out and back into game, it should be fixed.

Hi, so bought the same monitor myself a few months ago and started noticing this myself recently. After reading this thread I did 2 things; moved  the power brick to a more open air space and and reduced the refresh rate to 120Hz.

while moving the power brick to a more open space I noticed that the brick was quite hot. So far I’ve not seen the issue happen again and the power brick isn’t getting as hot as it was before.

Will update if the issue happens again but for now I’m wondering if the issue has something to do with the power brick getting too hot and causing stability that leads to the blue off colour. Just a theory and have no way to confirm this for myself however I will try setting it back to 144hz with the power brick in a more ventalated space and see what happens.

I have the same problem after two months of using. I can play at 60hZ but I bought this monitor for playing at 144Hz. Do I need to RMA my monitor?

no actually, my screen still goes blue when using my brothers monitor as a 2nd

Yeah im also noticing it when playing PUBG, half the darker pixels go blue, brighter ones go yellow, and anything exactly in the middle goes a purple or red.
Only noticed this on another monitor in a program where it purposely makes these colours happen, not too sure whether its the monitor or the computer as after turning off and on the monitor it is still happening and only after a full power off (unplugging cable) does it fix it, yet again even more disappointed considering my original opinion on the monitor and the price tag, not too sure if i will be buying from Acer again after this.

Hello everyone, my experience with that ***** monitor is the same; I bought that like six months ago, with the eye tracker and at the first day I got this problems... But was my really first nice monitor after a while, and after reading around that the "blue pixels" will goes away after plug in/off the energy cable I almost forgot that problems, because fortunally on OW i never have that and in the last months I just play it. 

Now I'm playing many differents games and the problems is coming back and I can play and use the monitor only with the HDMI cable, the problems is not just at 144hz but with the dysplay port calbe in general and the G-Sync. 

Acer seems to ignore this huge problem, I call the support and they will just "repair" that, but as I read here, giving the (brand new) monitor to the assistance will not solve the problems. 

I think that I can speak for evryone in saying that your service is a ***** and you should replace your ***** monitors with something that actually works, because I think that all of us here, bouth that things for playing at the top of quality (144hz, G-Sync).

I don't want my monitor in the repairing things because I have that problems since the first day, I want a replacemente with something that really worth the money that all of us spend. 

Is this issue fixed with firmware update already? I don't know if I should send my monitor for repairs now or wait more. Can anyone from acer support confirm this?
