Well according to Acer-Manny they have my monitor in the engineering department and have re-created the issue and have had my $1000.00 monitor for 15 days now with a total of 25-30 days including the 1st attempt to fix it. I wish they could refund me so I can move on, but they said no. I don't know what else to do. I'm not a lawyer.

Amazing, what a mess. "True premium-grade monitor", you wish.
It is a mess and sad, I'm shaking my head as why Acer doesn't want to refund the money and make it "go away". Don't they know if you google xb321hk this issue of artifacts pops up not just on this forum, We need a class action lawyer LOL

... and take $1000 loss? Heh, no rush. Bet there will be nowhere as many buyers for it now even if they try reselling it, now that cat is out of the bag.
Update: Received monitor have been testing for 3 hrs and SO FAR rock solid. I have G-Sync ON and have played Diablo 3 for 45 minutes and so far solid, I'll continue to update because well 3hrs is still nothing to be honest
Update: Have had it for 2 days and STILL G-SYNC is causing artifacting and blanking issues, turn off G-SYNC and the blanking with artifacting goes away. I'm not even upset anymore it is what it is but Im going to call into support AGAIN.
So, you have to turn G-Sync off completely? Turning windowed g-sync is not enough? I would think so since monitor stays in "g-sync" mode even if you use fullscreen-only, but just to confirm.

Thats a great question, I have only been doing Enable G-Sync for windowed and full screen mode OR OFF (currently)

Ok tested both G-Sync Modes and still flickers with artifacting as my video on 5 page of this forum. Currently G-Sync OFF and no issues YET
Ok thanks for confirming. This is not very useful, since whole point of price premium is this is G-Sync monitor. Otherwise it would be pretty mediocre 60Hz UHD.
Acer-Manny, care to comment on this? Why this is still happening - this was going on for almost 2 years now, people send their monitors for repairs, then get it back "fixed" while its still not fixed? Acer did write a lot of great posts a lot about caring about customers, trying to own to their mistakes, having pride in Predator brand - but we still have to see this translate to actual deeds (and sending monitor back and forth for weeks does not count as "deeds").
G-Sync is NOT working on another repair, I believe there is NO fix for xb321hk. With G-Sync OFF I get no artifacts, no blanking. I have sent in my/a monitor 3-4 times. I have even got a completely different replacement monitor and it does the same thing. 1st lvl & the Engineering department have had my monitor for 1.5-2 months total and STILL they send me back a monitor that does NOT work with G-Sync ON....Acer-Manny you have been extremely nice BUT this is a forum to explain my experience to the end users as a BEWARE DO NOT BUY a Acer Predator xb321hk monitor.
FAQ & Answers
If its result of a "fix", I'd say its barely doing anything, it could be just random luck and no actual fix at all.
Have you certain that they've fixed random glitches when on desktop though (or doing nothing at all)?
