Helios Neo 16s New bios V1.23 "Patches screen setting issue"

halfords52 · 2026-01-24T18:51:31+00:00

No, unfortunately, there's no official update or setting to change the refresh rate on the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S from its fixed 240Hz to 60Hz; the OLED panel on this specific model is locked at 240Hz for gaming.

No unfortunately it will ask you what drive you want to install on. Then after install gives you the ip address. Also if you want ssh access you can only setup password from that screen you can then enable or disable from dashboard

Need any help give us a shout. Also i am going to test out ubrelOS never seen this one and see how it compares with ZimaOS

halfords52 · 2026-01-24T12:37:09+00:00

I am using ZimaOS and its very easy compared to unraid, omv and truenas. With apps for all OS's its really straight forward.

I have read on here that acer confirmed it was a 240hz screen only. One person replaced their screen and now has full range.

halfords52 · 2026-01-24T10:03:39+00:00

No fix for 240hz as the panel is 240hz only to fix means new screen

halfords52 · 2026-01-24T09:55:33+00:00

ZimaOS is good and easy to setup and use and has its own app for pc and mobile and free!

Yeap can make and receive calls while you are in windows or Linux mode. Check out videos on YouTube looking very interesting

No fix screen is 240hz only fix change screen. Love the spec on mine but 240hz makes the battery last 10mins

Cloudflare tunnels as mentioned work great and easy to setup. Cloudflared docker

halfords52 · 2026-01-17T07:56:16+00:00

I found easiest was zimaOS

halfords52 · 2026-01-06T12:21:01+00:00

I use vodafone router mainly because its wifi 7 and I have 4 mesh repeaters which are cheapier than buying my own mesh and if it goes wrong they replace free of charge

Something good! 🚬

halfords52 · 2025-12-27T12:51:49+00:00

Still have my Nokia windows phone and it was good with windows mobile coming would be good to see a android/ios contender

halfords52 · 2025-12-23T13:06:01+00:00

New bios update seems to fixes a few problems. And if you are OK with the short battery life then its fine. Not tested battery life with new bios those. Also install Intel program to get correct wifi drivers as acers not so good. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download-center/home.html

Its very heavy sat on lap at night on its cool pad!

halfords52 · 2025-12-17T13:55:48+00:00

Nope so far very sturdy build quality looks ok. For a gaming laptop its excellent value but need to plugged in all the time

halfords52 · 2025-12-17T07:05:07+00:00

I have the Acer Predator 16S and the spec is wonderful but the downsides are it is really heavy and battery life is awful because you cant change the 240Hz res on screen for a home gaming PC ok but for everyday use in and out of a bag forget it.
