my guess is that people aren't making new builds because of the ram shortage (cascading to several components) and thus not as many monitor upgrades and they need to get rid of gaming monitor stock that has been in the pipeline for a while. i might be totally wrong that's just my initial guess.

The oled refresh notification is annoying. The blue LED power indicator cannot be disabled. It flashes when in standby mode and is disruptive at night. The screen looks great though.

Tell me more about the OLED refresh. Is it a mandatory popup every X minutes (apparently even when gaming)? Is it to prevent burn-in?

Mandatory popup every 4 hours or you can opt for a 12 hour schedule, but you can't post-pone when it's time. Not entirely sure if it's doing refreshes while the monitor sleeps or if just "dumbly" counts "on" time, forcing refreshes mid-session -- this was an issue with MSI OLEDs, before MSI took a hint and released a firmware update.

Personally returning mine. I used the 4 hour pop up option. Noticed the popup would pop up when the monitor was in sleep mode. And there's no timeout for the pop up. And it doesn't move around the screen to minimize burn-in.

You can disable it. I am using this monitor for 6mos and I love it.

Yes, the pop-up will show up on the bottom center of the screen in the middle of whatever you are doing. You can choose to either bypass or perform the refresh. The refresh takes several minutes. If you choose to bypass, it comes back later but I didn't personally keep track when it returns. I believe the refresh is to keep the panel from burn ins.

Dumb reason for a return you can shut that off lol. And the little light can easily be blocked oh well.

Can confirm, you can disable the "image retention refresh". You can, also, postpone it when the popup pops. 2 clicks.. one down and one confirm "no" Unsure about the power led

i got mine today, the color is very nice but somehow it feels so dim, my other monitors are 350 and 400 nits this one i find on acer site (as costco site has nothing on it) is 1000 nit but for some reason it is dimmer compared to my other 350-400nits monitors even after i turn on the brightness to 100% and super brightness option.feels like this one is 250nit

ok reading from box it says brightness 250nits peak, 1000 nits @ HDR. i am not sure what it means i turn on the HDR max 1000 mode, still not as bright.
