im so dissapointed with my 144hz monitor

[gigauri]

some months ago i buy my first 144 hz monitor ACER KG251Q

hz and other features working well but important problem is angle of view ..
i can not get above than 60 hz on ULTRA HD 'native' resolution
i can get 144 hz only in PC resolution. but colors are too bright and colors angle of view are terrible in PC resolution..

Here is ways what i try:

1) i pluged my old 60hz monitor to compare PC / NATIVE resolutions, and yes i get same result(PC resolution was same terrible)

2) i try set output dynnamic range to FULL instead limited but no any effect.

3) i try windows calibration - no any effect.

4) i try to download multiple color proffiles - no any effect.

5) i also try each one; Displayport / HDMI / DVI Cables - no any effect.

5) first days when i bought monitor i opened thread in ACER forum.. no any official answer. just only one user reply me that my color was good and there was not any issue..

i also have read many articles in multiple forums that people says their 144hz monitors also doesnt support native resolution above 60hz but i dont know if they have same problem or not.

What is "pc" and what is "native"?
Your monitor is 1920*1080, that is what you should set. If you are talking about nvidia control panel there you should select resolutions from "pc" category, otherwise your colors will be broken.
Also this is TN panel. Awfull colors and view angles are normal.

I opened the images. It is hard to understand anything viewing them on different monitor.
Difference between "pc" and "HD" or whatever it is called in nvidia panel has to do with black level/colors, for monitor you should always choose resolutions from "pc" category, other options are for tv-s.
What's marked as "native" in pc category is what you should set, this is physical resolution of your display, anything else will be bad.
For view angles... it is just a disadvantage of TN, it is normal, you will not be able to do anything about it apart from buying new monitor.

sadly i see you dont get what is my real problem, maybe its because of my bad english

[mtono]

what about downloading the manual for your monitor?
sometimes they dont really help, but maybe it does?

Interesting. Do you have anything about black level or something similar in monitor settings (its own menu, not on pc)?
Also connect it with display port (if you are using hdmi now) and see how (and if) it changes stuff in nvidia panel.

yes my monitor have black level i also try this but changing black level setting at any level, doesnt had any effect. also as i mentioned when i turn on my old 60hz monitor for test i had same result (bad view angle on PC resolution) so i think that its not monitor problem

sticker says same, they have multiple 60,75,144,240 hz monitors released with same model

Each display with different hz will have a different model number. Sure the bulk may be the same but there will be atleast one thing different to identify the specific monitor.

Look on the back for a sticker saying the model number....take a photo for us to see.

Or

Use your monitors on screen menu system to access the information area that will tell you the model.

ahh sorry i did not realise first time
but model number still same in sticker https://imgur.com/aUMAUCD

also i dont think its monitor issue because i try to test my old 60hz monitor(asus vx239h) and i had same issue on pc resolution

TN panels have limited viewing angles and generally rubbish colour accuracy and calibration out the factory especially with cheaper ones but you can use a calibrated profile or the tool yourself but make sure to set system defaults for gamma correction as shown in this guide: https://pcmonitors.info/articles/using-icc-profiles-in-windows/

Play around with the OSD settings for brightness, colours, overdrive etc

If you care more about viewing angles, colours and calibration vs the higher refresh rate you might want to change it up for an IPS instead.
