Further information on supporting our work.OLED technology is very desirable for entertainment usage, combining exceptional image quality and responsiveness. The Acer Predator X32 X (X32 Xbmiipphuzx) offers this, with a large and slightly curved QD-OLED panel. The monitor has quite subdued styling for a model in the series – less aggressive and arguably better able to blend in with some setups. The top and side bezels are dual-stage, with slim panel border flush with the rest of the screen alongside a slim hard plastic outer part. An ‘active area’ (over-provisioning of pixels) is also included between the image and panel border, one of the image retention mitigation measures. The OSD (On Screen Display) is controlled by a joystick beneath the central region of the bottom bezel.
A 31.5″ Samsung Display QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) panel is included with 3840 x 2160 (‘4K’ UHD) resolution and 240Hz refresh rate. HDMI 2.1 provides a 120Hz ‘4K’ UHD signal to devices such as the Xbox Series X and PS5, with HDMI 2.1 VRR also supported. Adaptive-Sync is also offered, allowing technologies such as Nvidia ‘G-SYNC Compatible’ and AMD FreeSync Premium to be used with assumed 48 – 240Hz VRR range plus LFC. A moderate but not extreme 1700R curve to the screen is designed to draw you in a bit and create a slight extra feeling of depth. The usual glossy anti-reflective QD-OLED screen surface is expected, alongside 1m:1 static contrast ratio, 10-bit colour support and 178°/178° viewing angles. ‘Flicker-free’ illumination is included with 1000 cd/m² typical HDR peak luminance and 99% DCI-P3 colour gamut. Plus the usual strong Adobe RGB coverage the technology is known for. A factory calibrated sRGB setting is included with specified DeltaE <2.
The monitor responds to HDR10 content with VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, though additional HDR modes with higher brightness peaks are included. The screen can make good use of its per-pixel illumination, 10-bit colour support and generous gamut, with strong brightness pulses up to ~1000 cd/m². A 0.03ms grey to grey response time is specified, which you shouldn’t pay much attention to as usual – though OLED technology is known for exceptional pixel responsiveness. Tilt, swivel and height adjustment is included using the included stand, with provision for 100 x 100mm VESA mounting as an alternative. A ring of RGB LED lighting is included surrounding the stand attachment point. The ports face backwards beneath this and include; 2 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (plus Type-B upstream), 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, 2 DP 1.4 ports (with DSC), USB-C (65W PD, DP Alt Mode, upstream data), 3.5mm audio input and DC power input (external ‘power brick’). KVM functionality is included, allowing easy USB peripheral sharing and display input switching between 2 systems. 2 x 5W speakers are included for basic and potentially fairly rich sound output.
Further details can be found on retailer websites, where the monitor’s listed for ~$1200 USD.
