I bought this monitor a while ago, and was curious about how to get the best picture while using and Xbox series x.

Any recommendations? Should I be using HDR mode? I can only adjust the brightness, and the black level (low or normal?). Just trying to figure out how to get the best picture without making things too dark or too washed out, but still being able to see distant details (for playing warzone).

Hey! Generally we don’t recommend any settings for console gaming besides the ones mentioned in the review, but what I would say is that choosing the best settings is a personal preference, so you should play around with them until you find something you like!

Gordon, I have it set perfectly for the Series X.
Monitor menu settings= Set the monitor mode to HDR Picture - set to HDR-400 and turn off super sharpness Color setting - HDR Gaming Setting- turn on freesync System- Set it to HDMI 2.1 on input, auto source on, wide mode aspect, ddc/ci On, Proxisense Off, HDMI Black level-Normal, Quick start mode - on, USB port select - c type, USB 3 on, HDMI 2.1 - ON, Power off USB charge-on

Series X -under tv and display settings= Display 4K, refresh rate -120 hz

video modes-check everything up YES, EXCEPT allow YCC 4:2:2=keep that one off. Variable refresh rate=Always on

video fidelity & overscan-Overrides=auto detect, Color depth=30 bits per pixel (10 bit), color space=PC RGB

Then make sure you go into Calibrate HDR for Games, and adjust as stated in the instructions when you start the calibration! This will set the HDR appropriately for all games you play.

BOOM, PERFECTION…Enjoy your Series X. For general GAME menu settings…depending on the game, I’ll set the multiplayer shooters to 120 FPS IE: Halo Infinite, or most other games 60 FPS for Max resolution. This is depending on the graphic settings in the game menu of whatever game you are playing! ENJOY

PS. IF you get black screen and the picture stops responding, it is the monitor firmware issue…Just connect a PC and update the firmware through Acers site!! Every screen had this issue when turning on the 2.1 function initially, so do not freak out!

What are the best settings for it without HDR, because enabling it hurts my eyes with its brightness? What are the best settings for it? I searched the internet and couldn’t find anyone talking about the best settings for this monitor

Did you find best settings without hdr because its brightness make the picture yellowish and hurts my eyes

Hi, I have this gaming monitor, and my question is do I enable or disable VRR with PS5, and will the input lag be affected and become better if I disable VRR?

Hello, we don’t expect any differences in input lag with VRR on or off, so you should choose whatever you prefer. The main advantage of using VRR is that it reduces screen tearing when the frame rate changes a lot.

Excellent but I have one last question, was the screen tested when hdmi2.1 was turned on from the settings menu? Because the default mode was hdmi2.1 was not enabled

Hey, we leave settings at their default, but most of our testing is over DisplayPort. Any testing over HDMI, like checking for the max refresh rate, would have been with HDMI 2.1 enabled.
