Yellow tint on Acer Predator XB271HU - whites not white

[nandapanda]

Hi guys,

 

So i have the new acer predator 165 hz gsync and unfortunately the whites on this panel just aren't white.

 

Here's and example of what I mean. The monitor on the left is the acer and the monitor on the right is the ROG Asus IPS (currently on loan).

Have any of you experienced a similar issue and fixed it? I've just different calibrations but nothing i've found works yet.

thats colour temperature

you should be able to change it in the monitor settings

Thanks! I tried this after posting and with RGB settings of 91/91/99 the whites look a lot more white, they're still not where i'd like them to be. Time to invest in a colorimeter mayhaps.

You're welcome

adding more of each colour will make it brighter, but blue+green=yellow so theoretically adding more red should help

just play around with the colour settings until you find something that matches your other monitor

Never try to compare an Acer monitor with an Asus monitor.

In fact never compare an Asus to anything.

 

Asus monitors have for YEARS always oversaturated the red channel compared to other monitors and this even applies in SRGB mode.

Both of my VG248QE's make red look more like crimson/scarlet and thus have whites look different than either my Benq XL2720Z or my laptop display.

Now you "could" say that the VG248QE looks more "white" as a result, but is that really accurate when the reds on both look more crimson/scarlet, while the Benq XL2720Z and the laptop look basically the same?

 

So which is correct?  The "yellower" Benq or the "Tinnier" whiter with deeper reds (even in SRGB or 100,100,100 RGB) VG248's?

 

All you can do is calibrate.  There's really no such color as pure white except when sunlight is involved and even then...one man's white is another man's yellow...

I have the same problem! Can't fix it either...
