Acer Predator XN253Q Pbmiprzx 24.5" Monitor, 1920X1080 Resolution, 144Hz Refresh Rate, Built-In Speakers, HDMI Review

What can I say, but FAST. I've finally switched from 60hz and love high speeds. Everything seems smooth. I ordered mine for same day delivery and it arrived on time and in great condition, just a tiny scratch/hole, the interior was great). Well packed with hard foam. Plug and Play instantly with no connection issues. Easy to assemble. There's no tear-off screen cover. I'm very picky about people touching screens with their fingers, so be careful. I like the monitor itself. The product photos on

Update after the break. So I bought it last week and it arrived last night. This is my first monitor since the HP w2338h that came with my first tower a few years ago. I have it for running games and watching movies and using the w2338h as a second screen for text and chat. Everything looked fine out of the box, assembling the stand was a breeze and everything connected with the display cable. First check after turning on and booting up the computer, everything looked fine, there was a problem…

The general opinion about this monitor is very good. ACER uses an LG screen in combination with an ACER controller. 240Hz is quite a lot, but I actually saw 190fps max in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 Edition. I have a Core i9 9800K OC up to 4.8GHz / 64GB DDR4 RAM / 1TB ADATA 8200 m.2 / RTX 2080Ti GPU. My system is powerful enough to run at 240Hz at 1080p. Pros: great monitor, comfortable stand, simple menu display, 3 custom display settings. light grey. I bought 2 of these and put my ACER…

I was given a choice of this 4k 28" TN panel or x34 at double the price and when I got the first I had to cancel the other because after watching 4k you can't go back to 2k or 1080. My SLI is finally going I was nervous about the reviews and if there would be any problems when it arrived, but I realized the reviews were for multiple versions of the product line and I got one that had no flaws whatsoever, the box was in perfect condition condition. With all the features it offers, I had to pick…

I think this is the best FPS monitor available today. Maybe next year we'll get 240Hz at 2560x1440 with Nvidia Volta graphics cards, but that's about it for now. I tried the Asus PG258Q but it was a downgrade from the Asus PG278QR which is 165Hz at 2560 x 1440 and 27 inches. Despite the 258's 240Hz refresh rate, I didn't look very well on it and my performance suffered badly. Unlike this Acer monitor, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is it bigger, but the image quality seems better to me…

It's hard to believe that others aren't complaining about this problem. It's literally so bad for me to see the monitor just "too sharp" when rotating left and right in games. This makes the entire screen grainy. I could not anymore. I'm switching back to my Asus Swift 2k 144hz monitor. Now it works as a second monitor. Colors can still look vibrant. It was great to have high frequencies. I'm also surprised at the price increase given the issues it's having. I bought it in the low $400 range…

I bought this monitor with a new computer that I just bought. At first glance it looked great. The screen size was perfect and had a clean view of the image. I noticed that I was only showing 60Hz, which I found odd since the default is 240Hz. When I made the change (this is where the problem starts) my screen went black for about 10 seconds and then showed "No Signal". Then it is ramped up to 60Hz. I ran a few games to see if I was missing something and all games had great FPS and ran…

I used a 30 inch Samsung TV as a secondary gaming monitor but was really looking for a true gaming monitor with a higher refresh rate and response time. Not wanting to spend money on another GPU upgrade (currently running a GTX 970ssc) I decided to stick with a 1080p monitor and this monitor does not disappoint! A 27 inch monitor is definitely the largest I would choose for a 1080p PC monitor (also the reason I only used my previous TV/monitor for videos and gaming, too grainy (bigger dot…

I have little opinion on the actual function of the display. Everything is set up, the display is excellent, there are no problems. But I got stuck on one thing that others have mentioned and I didn't realize it until I bought and installed my new monitor. For a $600 monitor, it has terrible speakers. I mean really terrible. My other monitors with 2w speakers sound great (very handy for a 2w monitor speaker to say the least), but these are just useless. At first I thought they had plastic…

+240 is good, but it's a slight improvement over 144Hz as other Youtube reviewers have mentioned. I was able to shoot a little more easily and consistently with the Overwatch McCree than with a 120Hz monitor, but I need more testing to confirm this. 240Hz is almost as sharp from the UFO test as 144Hz ULMB. But of course the picture is MUCH brighter without ULMB, further improving clarity. Acer had a press release saying it would be a 200Hz ULMB, but that seems like overzealous marketing for…

This is a great monitor at a great price. Okay, now that I've figured that out, let's do some research on what G-Sync really is. When I ordered this monitor I was under the impression that this monitor would solve all of my screen tearing and latency issues. It turned out how. Getting G-Sync settings right can be quite difficult, and you may think you're using G-Sync when you're actually not. Usage: 1. In each game you must set the maximum frame rate to your monitor's maximum refresh rate minus

It was everything I expected, 240 fps looks fantastic. The UI is detailed, including an optional fps overlay and even a crosshair. There are a few minor issues with it, however. After using the monitor for about 4 months it did happen a few times that the pixels on the right side of the screen popped up on the left side and although this was always fixed by turning the monitor off and on again it did I'm still a bit worried. There were also some instances where the screen would turn on and off…

My Acer Predator XB281HK looks better than any other gaming monitor I've seen in my life. Even at 1080p, the screen looks much smoother. Apart from the missing assembly instructions (I was very afraid of breaking the stand during assembly), I have not encountered any problems. The corners of the screen are brighter even when displaying black, which is a bit odd but doesn't significantly detract from the display quality. It's a little disappointing that it doesn't support HDR because I know a…

Previously used a 1440p 144Hz monitor with a 5ms response time. I wanted something faster and faster. There are no dead/bright pixels. Good packaging. Yes, it's a TN panel with not-so-great angles/blacks for media, but it's a gaming monitor. It does it well for me and feels very fast. I didn't notice any blurry textures and the colors are quite playable. No screen tearing. I like that the monitor has a switch next to the power plug. - Comes with a headphone holder that attaches to the stand. My

Overall I think this monitor is pretty good, not great but pretty good. If you're looking for a cheaper 4k monitor with G-Sync and don't mind a TN panel, then this is a pretty good buy. Pros: G-Sync 4k 60fps gaming - 1ms gray to gray response time - Price and Cons: - TN panel is not as bright as IPS and white has a distinct yellow tint that is VERY noticeable unless looking directly at the monitor looks. hardly noticeable. The built-in speakers are terrible, but if you buy this monitor you…

This is my first 4k monitor and my first G-sync monitor. The 4k resolution looks great, but G-Sync is very disappointing as a premium feature that adds hundreds of dollars to the asking price. It's just not worth it. The screen will flicker severely when the frame rate drops below 35, the game will still lag severely. The only thing that really fixes it is the screen tearing. That's all. I paid an additional $200 for the monitor to fix screen tearing and introduce stuttering and flickering…

I needed a smaller monitor that would fit my desktop and laptop usage. Although primarily for games. I don't use my laptop screen and close it when I use the monitor. I am impressed with the design as it is height adjustable and can both swivel and tilt at the base. In addition, the settings were easy to use. I like how the footprints are scattered. The screen resolution is excellent, as are the specs. I use GeForce Experience to change the game settings to use exactly what the laptop settings…

I had a hard time deciding between this and the 27-inch IPS version. Some reviews say TN is better for gaming, others say nothing than IPS. In the end, I decided that both had their weaknesses and "it wasn't worth the extra money for IPS. This monitor looks great. Viewing angle needs to be narrow on TN screen The laptop it's connected to only has an HDMI 1.4 port so I can't use G-Sync and am stuck at a 30Hz refresh rate. Screen tearing is noticeable, but it doesn't really distract me during…

There is a red dot in the bottom left corner of the screen that I have to rub to get rid of. There is also sometimes a bug where the middle 5 pixels are merged giving a strange effect. However, there is a simple solution. Turn it off and on again. Other than that, this is a great monitor.

Having 240 fps is absolutely a game changer. and to maintain that stability you MUST have a serious pc. This means that the i7 belongs to at least the 7th generation and a high-performance GPU. If you don't, you might be better off just deferring that purchase. Start a quick Fortnite game and check your FPS limit. Even with the best settings I've built, the max settings seem to get me around 206 fps, but turning it down a bit gets me to 240 with no issues. The game is almost unfair. With this…
