have you tried another monitor to ensure it’s specific to the monitor?
azure matrix
yes
i tried a different monitor, ruling out the gpu
i tried updating to old drivers
rotund bison
still under warranty?
rotund bison
don’t need the receipt to RMA it, just an order number or similar
rotund bison
not a lot you can do to fix a damaged monitor, though someone else may have some ideas

are there any budget monitors above 180hz
ebon ice
If this happens regardless of the connected device or input used, it's the monitor itself. Your options are to claim warranty, or replace the monitor. I'd go with replacement, as that monitor was originally released in 2018.

No idea, I don't repair monitors. Could be the LCD panel itself, or one (or more) control boards inside the monitor. Usually when it's heavily ghosting like this, it's the LCD panel itself.

what about it?

can you go in bios with your external monitor ?
bleak karma
try it,
i regret that because my lcd laptop screen was broken and i can't go in bios with an external monitor
ebon ice
after a few minutes it's gonna start glitching
As mentioned before, if this happens regardless of the connected device or input method, it's the monitor itself. Changing settings in your PC won't magically fix a monitor's failing LCD panel...
azure matrix
yeah but i can go into bios
now what though
why did i have to go to bios
wait a second
why's it not glitching
azure matrix
As mentioned before, if this happens regardless of the connected device or input...
when i enter windows it glitches
but when i enter bios its not
ebon ice
What happens if you try connecting another known-good working device (like another computer, a laptop, a game console, etc.) to the monitor?
azure matrix
i
didn't try that
oh no
it's my you
please don't be my gpu
are the gpu fans supposed to spin WHILE your in the bios..?
ebon ice
Some GPUs only spin up their fans when the GPU is under enough load to get hot enough.
azure matrix
yo
nvm
it's not
even in bios the display broke
holy i just got the scare of my life
ebon ice
Bingo - that means it's extremely likely the display, as I noted before.
bleak karma
after a few minutes it's gonna start glitching
ok, you're lucky
ebon ice
i hate this stupid company
This problem isn't exclusive to Acer monitors, though Acer monitors are not among the brands I recommend due to their [lack of] quality control. I try to stick to models that get good reviews, OR models from manufacturer's I know have good warranty policies. https://www.rtings.com/monitor

i'll go to my local store and get one
not acer
acer bad
azure matrix
yes
but after like a couple minutes it started to glitch
but it took longer than it took in windows
azure matrix
did you enter into bios and it showed up on your external monitor ?
i don't know why
most likely cuz bios has lighter load
bleak karma
but after like a couple minutes it started to glitch
if it glitches on your lcd screen an your external monitor it's maybe your gpu , or your integrated gpu if you have one
azure matrix
it didn't glitch on another monitor
bleak karma
ahh
