X35 flickering(Acer X35 monitor)

My last comment vanished, something about needing review when I hit edit to fix a typo. In any case: I am able to reproduce with a 2014 macbook pro via HDMI using the forest image.

For overdrive: using the forest image I was able to get the scanlines with overdrive set to off. Normally with overdrive off the blurring/smearing seems to fix lots of movement based flickers.

Have you looked at my videos Ive took of resident evil 2 remake on youtube? It shows you how to get the flicker to show in most games. Its blatently an issue. Its clear flickering in certain highly lit scenes with smoke/volumentrics. An issue is an issue; it doesnt matter how sensitive to the issue you are or even if you are fully concious to it, you might not even be noticing it but it still might be stressing your head and eyes out in the background making you tired. Its not supposed to flicker they have advetised this in three different places, they have highly designed electronics to ensure that flickering does not happen at different voltages/currents, and flicker in the range of even at 400hz would be picked up and seen as a fault. This flicker is able to be seen at 80fps plus. You keep infering people that do see this flicker are not seeing an issue. But overwelming evidence would show that they almost certainly are seeing an issue. We have all bought this very expensive monitor. You need to just play a HDR title for a while around smokey enviroments with overdrive on extreme. Sometimes 50% of the frames have either flicker or lines. Im actively trying to ignore them. Reviews have stated the issue, people have went into shops and seen the issue, people on here have captured the issue. Its indesputable and incontravertably an issue. Theres been no denying that it is an issue from acer and theyve had ample time to do so. Contary; Theyve said they can reproduce the issue. If you keep telling people on here the issue they are having is not an issue they will get frustraighted and this will carry over in thier responses and its obvious this is what it going on here.

 On my x35, when I open this picture, it's flickering with contrast 46 (overdrive Normal). With contrast more than 46- just scanlines, with contrast 45 and below no flickering or scanlines.

It flickers even at 0 contrast on my PG35VQ max contrast flickers too, Normal overdrive. 144hz

you may have to play with zoom in and out of the img to make the scanlines appear after you change contrast. Try it with below 46, they will be back!

Also you have to close the OSD for scanlines/flicker to show up. You move the image after closing the osd and try different zoom levels.

Any comment from Acer on this? As they stopped selling it will not fixed by an update most likely?

No comment from Acer, I've messaged multiple times asking when they will sell them on their own store, and I get no replies. Pretty poor customer service TBH

Seriously for all those who are having these issues with flickering why don’t you all pack your monitors up and send them back to the retailer free post and receive a refund. That’s what I would do. My monitor by has yet to show any scan lines, flickering, call it what you will.  So far so good.

 @kot0005 And even the steam download bar did not throw up any flickering or anything on my X35 try setting your contrast to 45  as that is what my contrast is set at and I have zero flickering I see Nvidia have dropped driver version  436.48 maybe that will help ALSO.
