Hi @Tze Cherng,

This sounds like High-frequency noise (flicker) issue.

Overclock mainly support for motion display (Games and Videos).

When the monitor is on G-Sync mode, High- Frequency Noise may be observed with Over-clock enabled. This symptom will disappear when Overclocking is disabled.

How to check if monitor is on G-Sync mode:

  1. Enter OSD menu->Select “Others”=>Select “Display Info”
  2. Check if “Mode” shows “G-Sync” (Figure 18.)

Adjusting G-Sync Mode

Figure 18. - Adjusting G-Sync Mode

How to check if Overclocking is turned on:

  1. Press on “Menu Key “(No.5) to launch following information on screen
  2. Check “Overclock” shows “On” or “Off (Figure 19.)

Enabling Over-clock option

How to disable Overclocking:

  • Enter OSD menu->Select “Game”=>Select “Overclock” =>Switch from “On” to “Off”
NOTE: If “Mode” shows” Normal”, it means that monitor is not on G-Sync mode
 
If this is not the case, then this could be related to the port or the cable, you can try with others.

Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor AW2518H doesn't have Overclock option on OSD menu. Would you show me another way to off the overclock?  thank you.
