XB273K Will not wake on reboot.

Just bought this monitor and have noticed that if I do not turn the monitor off before I reboot or start up it will not turn on. I have to make sure my other monitor is the only one on during the boot process and only after I get into Windows am I able to turn the Predator on and it be recognized.

1. Monitor is 2nd in line
2. Dual display port w/ 4K 144 enabled through monitor.
3. monitor is seen in Windows 10 32-bit Home
4. 2080 XC Super

Also I was led to believe that you could not use GSync while at 144, yet when I am in the NVIDA control panel it allows me to enable it, and this is after verifying 144 through settings. Was this fixed or do I have something set strange.

Thanks in advance, any helop is appreciated.

Hi @4rensiik,

To what device this monitor is connected ?

The XB273K is a buggy mess. I highly regret buying mine. It is a buggy mess just trying to get 144Hz mode to work. It is buggy when trying to get the settings in the OSD to work properly (overdrive should be unlocked, but isn't). It is buggy when trying to wake your computer up from sleep and now also buggy when trying to turn on your monitor after physically turning it off (have to because the monitor doesn't wake from sleep in 144Hz mode). Needless to say, I won't buy from Acer again.

After paying about 800 dollars for this monitor, I am sadly starting to think that I will have to try and sell it and buy the Asus with DSP.
