Acer is no stranger to the gaming monitor arena, as witnessed by highly-rated (by us) offerings like the Predator XB273U and the Predator X25. However, with CES 2022 upon us, the company unleashed two new beasts upon gamers in the form of the new Predator X32 series which can hit up to 165 Hz and so, by specs alone, could be headed for our best gaming monitors list.

The X32 and X32 FP are 32-inch class monitors that feature a 4K UHD (3,840 x 2160) IPS panel. Specs are impressive across-the-board for the X32, which can hit up to a 120 Hz refresh rate over HDMI 2.0. However, what makes the X32 stand out is its ability to achieve up to 160 Hz using a DisplayPort 1.4 connector, entering new territory for 4K monitors (which typically max out at 144 Hz at 4K resolution).

The X32 covers 99 percent of the Adobe RGB color space and claims VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and support for Nvidia G-Sync Ultimate. Acer lists maximum native SDR brightness of 400 nits, which pumps to 1,000 nits in HDR mode. It has a respectable port layout with three HDMI 2.0, one DisplayPort 1.4 and a four-port USB 3.0 hub.

However, where things really get interesting is with the X32 FP. It has the same basic design as the X32 but ramps performance up to the next level. In this case, you’ll still be able to achieve 160 Hz at 4K in “normal mode,” but overclocking lets you crank the dial to 165 Hz. As Acer claims, those specs make it the fastest 4K gaming monitor on the planet, which will definitely be intriguing to enthusiasts out there.

Acer also beefed up the X32 FP with four true HDMI 2.1 ports instead of HDMI 2.0, making it a much better monitor for current-gen consoles. One other addition is a USB Type-C port with 90-watt power delivery. There’s also AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support to further enhance the low-latency gaming experience.

According to Acer, the Predator X32 will arrive stateside in Q3 2022 with a price tag of $1,999, a pretty penny for a 32-inch 4K monitor. However, if the Predator X32 FP is more up to your speed, it will be available earlier (Q2 2022), priced at an even heftier $2,499. Needless to say, we’ll be eager to get our hands on both new monitors in the new year to test them and see just how they advance the 4K gaming experience.

CES 2022

Reddit — Dive into anything

My post got deleted along with the saved draft for no reason, and I’m too lazy to retype everything so let me just briefly share some key points and issues

There’s a detailed review in Japanese make sure to check that out, I’ll reference some videos from it

I got the monitor in Taiwan for about $1200

TL;DR

• Firmware and the provided OSD app are very buggy

• Overdrive is poorly tuned, there’s massive amount of overshoot for the default setting

• HDR performance is great thanks to 576 zones of MiniLED and a peak brightness of 1233 cd/m²

• Blooming effect might catch your eye especially in dark grey background

• Local dimming can affect the brightness of light objects in dark scenes

• Gamut coverage is superb, 100% sRGB，100% Adobe RGB，96% DCI-P3, accuracy is average

• Full speed HDMI 2. 1 * 4, which is good if you have a lot of new consoles

• KVM function is not useful since it doesn’t switch USB automatically with current video input

Some measurements

Some stuff that I measured myself, I’m too lazy to re-upload all the pics again, so here’s the text version

Stock gamut coverage measured with DisplayCal is 99.9% sRGB, 99.7% Adobe RGB, 95.1% DCI P3 White point is 7917K, cold, accuracy is average

sRGB mode clamped the coverage to 97.4% sRGB, 68.4% Adobe RGB, 71.0% DCI P3

White point is 6802K, slightly cold, Gamma is slightly off to 2.1, accuracy is good

Measured contrast ratio is 1200:1, which is pretty good for an IPS panel

Uniformity is average, there’s vignetting effect around the edges and the corners, and there’s cyan tint along top edge for my unit

Overdrive tuning is bad, especially at 60Hz, below are the videos from the review

160Hz 60Hz

The overshoot amount is massive, I can see the texts turn to cyan and return to black while scrolling web pages. This cause issues because when you switch the monitor to HDR mode it defaults to OD:Normal which causes massive overshoot

Local dimming test

In short, it’s a massive improvement compared to my LG 27GP950-B, there are some issues though: White brightness change

This issue may affect HDR gaming when you’re in a dark scene, the brightness of your HUD elements and subtitles may be decreased

White flickering

HDR gaming impressions

I tested RDR2, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Ori 2.

There is blooming effect especially in dark grey background, it’s more noticeable in a dark room but not much in a normally lit room, but it’s there, demo

The HDR experience overall is great, highlights really stand out and dark scenes are really dimmed instead of leaking backlight. I compared to 55C1 in my living room and while dark scenes still look better on C1 since it don’t have blooming, the highlights actually look better on X32 thanks to its higher peak brightness.

The display is noticeably warmer when enabling monitor HDR mode and Windows HDR, which I don’t know why, because it actually looks noticeably colder when doing the same thing on my 27GP950-B

Firmware issues

• HDR mode needs to be toggled on the monitor itself separately, it doesn’t automatically kicks in along with Windows HDR compared to my 27GP950-B. Settings inside HDR mode such as OD and Super Sharpness do not persist so you need to manually disable them every time you toggle HDR

• Adaptive dimming needs to be manually enabled, the setting persist across different picture modes so you can’t automatically have it disabled in SDR picture mode but enabled in HDR mode

• Changing color space reset most of the settings, and each space has it pre-defined brightness value, so you’ll need to manually change those back every time

• Color space settings cannot be saved to game profiles, which is used for copying settings from user profile

• Enabling VRR locks OD to Normal according to user manual, but lucky for us it’s bugged so you can actually disable VRR, disable OD, then re-enable VRR so you got VRR with OD:off. Note that toggling HDR mode also resets OD to normal so you’ll need to manually switch that off everytime you use HDR.

• DCI color space has a strong green tint, not sure if it’s normal or not, looks very off to me

• There’s an Auto Source function which is supposed to automatically detect video input, but it works by cycling through each possible inputs one by one, so it’s very slow

• KVM function is not thought well since you need to manually choose USB upstream port in OSD instead of making it follow video inputs automatically. M32U has way better implementation.

• USBC output charges my Macbook Pro late 2020 normally, but it’s limited to 4k 60Hz for some reason, my 27GP950-B with disabled DSC can accept 4k 120Hz signal normally

• You can disable DSC in OSD, but it locks the refresh rate to 60Hz, but it should be able to output 120Hz by DP1.4 spec

• Color settings are somehow separated in each video inputs, but other settings are shared, so it’s counter intuitive

• DDC/CI opens up very few settings and the app also don’t support all the OSD settings, so currently the only way to toggle local dimming is by OSD

• Color space other than Standard locks most of the OSD settings except Super Sharpnes, OD, and VRR, but since it reset itself every time you switch, it’s very hard to use

• There’s three buttons on the monitor you can use to customize shortcuts, sadly you cannot assign local dimming toggle to it. Also the buttons requires double press, the first press brings up the main menu, the second brings up the actual shortcut menu you set, dumb

• When using DP, the monitor doesn’t wake from idle after screen timeout, it just shows no signal and freezes the whole system, the only way is reboot. It does wake from sleep though, so the current workaround is to set screen and sleep timeout to the same value

There’s some other issues I met when hooking up dual 4k 144Hz monitor, which I’ll list them anyway

• Under certain configuration you cannot output HDR+VRR at the same time on the main monitor, such as HDMI 2.1 => main, DP => second

• When hooked up main monitor with HDMI 2.1, the monitor is unable to wake from sleep or at boot, there’s a video for that

• When hooked up both monitor with DP and use 160Hz, the second monitor flashes black screen intermittently

How to properly toggle HDR for this monitor

To turn on HDR:

1. Use the app to switch the monitor to HDR mode

2. Open Advanced Settings and set OD to off, don’t press anything else other than that or it will revert the setting

3. Enable Windows HDR

4. Use the OSD to enable Adaptive Dimming, although the Super Sharpness setting will reset to On every time, it doesn’t really do anything unless you specifically turn it off and on, then you get over-sharpened image

To turn off:

1. When you do above step 2, it actually set the OSD profile to User, which causes the HDR setting carries over to your SDR profile if you simply select it, so you’ll need to switch to HDR mode again before switching back to your SDR profile

2. Disable Windows HDR

3. Use the OSD to disable Adaptive Dimming

Because of this complexity, I filmed a video here to demonstrate how to

Since this is a wide gamut monitor, everything looks over saturated by default. The built in sRGB mode works but it resets settings every time, so you can use a program called novideo_srgb to clamp for NVIDIA cards. For AMD card you can just use the driver setting

Conclusion

The panel itself is great, however the firmware is very buggy, especially for the HDR toggling and the default overdrive setting.

I really hope Acer take a look into these issues before the monitor is more widely available since this can potentially be a very good all around monitor.

Let me know your thoughts, I’ll try to answer all your questions.

Test & Review: Acer Predator X32 FP — Mini-LED, 160Hz, UHD & HDR 1000 Gaming Display

The race for the best gaming monitor continues. Now Acer has released a new Predator X32 FP model that offers potential buyers a wide range of features. The UHD display promises a compelling HDR immersion thanks to mini-LED backlighting. But gamers are not forgotten either: the Predator monitor supports a 160Hz refresh rate and FreeSync Premium Pro technology. Let’s see how convincing the 2022 monitor proves to be in our tests. nine0004

The monitor market has also experienced delays in recent months. As for the Acer Predator X32 FP display, which was presented at CES 2022, but has not yet appeared on sale. But even nine months after the announcement, the equipment remains very modern, although more models with a similar set of functions appear on the market, and OLED panels are just around the corner.

Anyway, this is a high-end gaming display. It features a 32-inch Agile Splendor IPS panel with UHD resolution. Therefore, you can count on excellent detail, although the video card must be powerful enough to «pull» the native resolution. Acer has opted for a mini-LED backlight spread across 576 zones, so the subjective contrast ratio for HDR output should be substantially higher than with classic local dimming solutions. The backlight can be turned off in areas where it is not needed, so the halo effects will not be as noticeable. Add to this a maximum brightness of 1,200 cd/m² in HDR mode, which also affects the perception of a wide dynamic range. The layer of quantum dots expands the color gamut, which also improves immersion. nine0005

Of course, the Predator display is geared towards gaming. And here Acer did their best. The maximum refresh rate is 160 Hz — more with UHD resolution and modern DisplayPort standards simply cannot be provided. Unlike many mini-LED monitors on the market, the Acer Predator X32 FP is not G-Sync Ultimate certified. Instead, FreeSync Premium Pro support is offered. The response time is claimed to be 0.7 ms. Of course, the OSD has various options for gamers. Not without a KVM switch, which allows you to connect multiple systems at the same time. nine0005

Acer Predator X32 FP is not yet in retail, the recommended price is €1.599. Acer will also offer a G-Sync Ultimate variant for €1,899.

Case and workmanship

Predator X32 FP is a modern high-end display for gamers in the interpretation of Acer. The 32-inch panel offers not only a full range of features, but also a stylish look familiar from other Predator models. No wonder it won the IF Design Award. nine0005

The case does not seem to catch the eye, yet Acer has chosen a borderless edge-to-edge panel on three sides, except that the bottom bezel is slightly wider. In the center is the Predator logo. Traditionally for mini-LED devices, the body is quite thick. But in practice, we did not find any problems.

The pedestal draws attention with its filigree metal construction. It does a great job and we didn’t encounter any vibration in our tests. Acer does not have complicated lighting solutions, such as projecting a logo onto a table top. Of course, it’s a bit odd to get a modern gaming monitor without RGB backlighting. nine0005

If the monitor will not stand close to the wall, then it will look much more impressive from behind than from the front. In particular, the large swivel cylinder attracts attention. There’s a carrying handle, as well as the obligatory Predator logo.

The workmanship is good, but the quality of the plastic could be better, especially considering the price.

Interface panel

nine0002 Acer has added KVM switch functionality to the Predator X32 FP, which can be seen on the interface panel. There are four HDMI inputs and one DisplayPort, which allows you to connect quite a lot of signal sources. You can connect a laptop via USB Type C, and power supply up to 90 W is supported thanks to PowerDelivery. All this allows you to turn your gaming monitor into a docking station.

In addition, four USB Type A ports are available for connecting peripherals, which Acer has distributed over two areas. Two ports are added to the main interface panel, two more are placed on the left side of the display. Many manufacturers set the side ports too deep, but Acer did not do this, the ports are located directly on the left side, they can be easily reached. nine0005

Image quality

Pixel pitch A term applied to modern LED displays. The distance between adjacent pixels is measured in millimeters, it affects the graininess of the screen, the looseness of the font and the optimal distance from a person to the display.	0.185 mm
Pixel Density The number of pixels per square inch of the sensor. Affects the graininess of the screen, the looseness of the font and the optimal distance from the person to the display. nine0040	137 ppi
Matrix color depth An important parameter for those who work with color, for example, process photos. The most widely used monitors with 8-bit matrices. Displays with greater color depth and bit depth are significantly more expensive.	8 bit
FRC (Frame rate control) Technology that increases the color depth of the matrix. During operation, quickly switches pixels between color shades, due to which the user sees an intermediate shade. Please note that some people are vulnerable to such flickering, their eyes get tired quickly, there is a feeling of dryness. However, most people do not feel any discomfort, and the vast majority of monitors come with FRC. nine0040	Mini LED
Flicker-Free Eye-safe monitors without PWM Manufacturers who care about your eyesight do not use PWM (pulse-width modulation) backlight brightness control, the principle of which is to turn on and turning off the backlight LEDs at a high frequency, which leads to eye fatigue. Please note that many monitor models provide adequate brightness control only up to some limit, below which PWM comes into play. Look for a review in which the absence of PWM at any brightness is confirmed by measurements. nine0040	No

Viewing angles (horizontal/vertical) Viewing angles at which the manufacturer believes the image will remain within acceptable quality. Be prepared for noticeable color distortion.	178 / 178 °

Performance

Maximum vertical refresh rate An important value for gamers. Shows how many times per second the image on the matrix is ​​updated. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother and more comfortable the game. The simplest monitors give out 60 Hz, budget gaming 120 Hz, the top-end ones — 240 Hz. An intermediate version of 144 Hz is gaining more and more popularity. It is important to choose a video card that consistently produces a number of frames equal to the monitor frequency, otherwise you will not feel any improvement. nine0040	160Hz
Minimum Vertical Refresh Rate	1Hz
Maximum Horizontal Frequency The maximum horizontal scan rate, indicating the number of horizontal lines drawn by the screen per second.	n/a
Minimum horizontal scan rate The minimum horizontal scan rate, indicating the number of horizontal lines drawn by the screen per second. nine0040	N/A
Minimum response time GtG (Grey to Gray) High response time sensors will delight you with loops in action-packed movie scenes with games. GtG — the time during which the matrix switches the brightness on gray from minimum to almost maximum. Considering that all colors are displayed in games, it poorly reflects the real performance, but it is stubbornly indicated by manufacturers in promotional materials. Modern monitors have overclocking technologies in which the response time is reduced, but image artifacts appear. Overclocking functions vary among manufacturers, some really help, some do nothing but damage the picture. nine0040	1ms
Medium Response Time BWB (Black-White-Black), BtB (Black to Back) High response time sensors will delight you with trails in action-packed movie scenes with games. Average response time — the time during which the matrix switches from black to white and vice versa. Modern monitors have overclocking technologies in which the response time is reduced, but image artifacts appear. Overclocking functions vary among manufacturers, some really help, some do nothing but damage the picture. nine0040	No data
Input lag (input-lag) Another important parameter for gamers. The delay between the signal from the computer to the monitor and the display of the picture on the screen. At high values, you will experience a delay between your actions and the display on the screen.	n/a
