Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has the Acer H236HL monitor and has the same issue as me.

Upon reading a multitude of great reviews for this monitor I went ahead and bought it. But I have never owned a more awful monitor than this.

The amount of streaking images (especially greyish colored) do when you move things around or play games is ridiculously bad. I think the monitor overdoes the 'overdrive' and there is no way to turn it off.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Here is a user with a similar issue but a different monitor.

Now imagine something like that when playing games, especially in darker scenes. I cannot believe not a single review on Amazon mentioned this. It was full of "OMG great monitor! Amazing for games!" etc. Last time I buy something based off user reviews.
 
Can anyone explain what the VCOM option does? It's set to 64. Since I decided to try everything I moved the number up and down to see if it makes a difference but I don't notice a change in anything.
