Frequently Asked Questions - Predator XB253QGW ACER

How to install the monitor stand?

Remove the monitor from the packaging. Attach the foot to the base (for some models) by turning the foot clockwise. Secure the attachment by tightening the screw using the integrated tab or a coin.

How to connect the monitor to a computer?

Turn off the computer and the monitor. Connect the HDMI or DisplayPort cable to the back of the monitor and to the computer. Connect the monitor power cord and turn on both devices.

What to do if the screen is dirty?

Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with a solvent-free cleaning solution. Never spray liquid directly on the screen or housing. Do not use products containing ammonia or alcohol.

How to adjust the height and tilt of the monitor?

The monitor is equipped with an adjustable stand. To adjust the height, apply vertical pressure on the top of the monitor. For tilt, gently tilt the screen forward or backward within a range of -5° to +25° (25° possible only in the highest position). Swivel and pivot are also possible.

What are the supported resolutions and frequencies?

The maximum resolution is 1920 x 1080. On HDMI, the refresh rate can reach 240 Hz. On DisplayPort, it can reach 240 Hz and 280 Hz if the Over Clock option is enabled in the OSD menu.

How to enable overclocking to get 280 Hz?

In the OSD menu, navigate to the refresh rate settings and enable the 'Over Clock' option. Note that this function may cause flickering or other undesirable effects depending on the system configuration.

What do the monitor's LEDs mean?

The power LED is blue when the monitor is on and orange when it is in standby or power saving mode.

How to use gaming features like Adaptive-Sync or VRB?

These features are found in the OSD menu. Adaptive-Sync synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with the graphics card to reduce tearing. VRB (Visual Response Boost) reduces motion blur. Enable them via the corresponding options.

What is the power consumption of the monitor?

Typical power consumption during operation is 22.0 W. In standby, it is 0.45 W and in off mode 0.25 W. Estimated annual power consumption is 39 kWh for 4 hours of use per day.

What to do if the screen remains black or shows 'No Signal'?

Check that the power and signal cables are properly connected. Make sure the computer is on. Try another input source (HDMI/DP). If the problem persists, unplug the monitor and contact an authorized technician.
