Acer Predator XB253Q U1

One Thousand Frames at Full HD

The Acer Predator XB253Q U1 pushes a 24-inch, 1080p panel to a 1,000Hz refresh rate without dropping to 720p. That distinction separates it from Acer's earlier four-digit-refresh experiment and makes the monitor a purpose-built tool for competitive players chasing the clearest possible motion at familiar esports resolution.

Every Millisecond Has a Narrow Audience

A 1,000Hz screen can present a new frame every millisecond, provided the connected PC and game can supply them. The benefit will be most visible in lightweight shooters played at extreme frame rates, where tracking a fast target matters more than high resolution, cinematic color, or a larger field of view.

Glare and Tearing Get Their Own Defenses

Acer's Visual Response Boost Pro technology is designed to reduce blur and ghosting during rapid movement. A circular polarizer cuts glare and aims to ease eye strain, while both AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync keep frames synchronized with the display.

A Specialist Screen at a Specialist Price

The Predator XB253Q U1 arrives in the first quarter of 2027 for $1,099. A 24-inch 1080p monitor at that price makes little sense for general gaming, and that is the point. This is equipment for competitors who already have the PC performance to reach absurd frame rates and want the panel to stop being the bottleneck.
