Predator XB271HU BMIPRZ 27-inch Gaming Monitor, 1 x DisplayPort Cable, 1 x HDMI Cable, Power Cord, 1 x USB 3.0 Cable

The full NVIDIA G-Sync module with Reflex and Esports Mode takes things to the next level, though it does add some cost. The screen works with AMD GPUs — I tested with a Radeon RX 6800 without issue — but it's best paired up with a great NVIDIA GPU. In the same sense, anyone looking to pair the monitor with a console should look for a screen with HDMI 2.1 connectivity. Within the full menu, you can adjust the brightness and contrast, enable/disable HDR, adjust the colors and many other options. If you enjoy fine-tuning picture settings, you’ll have a lot of options to play with. Acer Predator X32 review: Verdict HDR mode, which is its own separate mode, is where this monitor literally shines. When viewing HDR content we saw display brightness climb as high as 1,129 nits using our light meter to measure 10% of the display and 1,205 nits for 100% of the screen. The monitor is advertised to hit 1,000 nits of HDR brightness and our testing confirms that’s the case.

Values above 100% for sRGB and DCI-P3 generally mean less accurate, more saturated colors. Because of that, the Predator X32 FP can appear more colorful than the aforementioned competitors. In their Standard modes, the Dell 32 4K UHD achieved 146.3% of the sRGB color gamut and 103.6% DCI-P3 gamut and the XB323QK achieved 137.4% / 97.4%, respectively. These monitors aren’t as saturated but they have better color accuracy. VESA DisplayHDR 400 support lends a bit of vibrance to compatible content, but don't expect a true HDR experience. Ultimately, if you’re looking for a solid gaming monitor to pair with a more budget-friendly gaming PC, the Acer Predator XB253Q is a worthy option to consider. Which Acer Predator Monitor is Right for You? The 1080P resolution, the 0.5ms response time, and the 240Hz refresh rate will be perfect for competitive gamers who don’t want to spend a fortune on one of the newer 360Hz displays, but who want something that will give them a slight advantage in their games. The Predator X32 FP delivers the goods with its striking visual fidelity, fast performance and bold design. It might be too large for some, but if you want a huge display for playing games, the X32 FP won’t disappoint in that regard. It also has more ports than you’ll know what to do with.

The Acer Predator X28's built-in G-Sync processor, Reflex Latency Analyzer, and Esports Mode makes it ideal for high-resolution competitive gaming. When we brought the monitor into our testing lab and pointed our Klein-10A colorimeter at it, we found that the X32 FP’s display achieved an average brightness of 404 nits of brightness in User mode That’s brighter than both the Dell 32 4K UHD Gaming Monitor G3223Q (378 nits) and Acer Predator XB323QK (287 nits) in their respective Standard modes. The Acer Predator X28 is an impressive display. Not only is the 4K resolution crystal clear at 28 inches, but the performance specs can also keep up with competitive play. Color is good enough that you could use the screen for editing purposes when you're not fragging, though the X28 is most comfortable with games. The panel is easy on the eyes, there's automatic brightness and temperature controls, and the HDR 400 support is a bonus despite its limitations. I managed to get Doom Eternal to run around 100 frames per second on medium settings and the game ran buttery smooth on the X32 FP. Traversing the hellish landscapes while blasting demons into bloody chunks felt smooth and precise thanks to the fluid 160Hz refresh rate. I couldn’t get Cyberpunk 2077 to go above 60 fps but it also ran smoothly, even while driving around the denser parts of Night City or when fighting cyborgs. Acer Predator X32 review: InterfaceAccess your profile by selecting Action / Racing / Sports profile in game mode. GameView specifications and features may vary depending on model and/or region The Acer Predator X32 FP's fast refresh rate and low response time ensure a smooth gameplay experience. (Image credit: Tom's Guide) Bezel around the screen is thin, and the chin below doesn't take up too much space. There's room for some Predator branding on the bottom-left corner and a wide sensor in the middle. Acer's LightSense, ColorSense, and ProxiSense features are all in play here thanks to this sensor. The monitor will read ambient room lighting and adjust the screen's brightness and color temperature to match. You can disable this setting in the OSD menu if you prefer a dynamic brightness. You can always opt for one of the best gaming headsets if you don’t like the X32 FP’s sound quality, but I think they provided clear and loud audio. Acer Predator X32 review: Performance The Predator X32 FP has a setting called “max brightness” that you can toggle on and off. Enabling this option makes a huge difference. For instance, in User mode, the monitor averaged 124 nits of brightness without it compared to 404 nits with max brightness enabled. Max brightness is off by default, which initially led me to believe the display was unusually dim. This is important to keep in mind should you get this device and find its display too dark — you may need to enable max brightness in the main menu. Acer Predator X32 review: Audio

The X32 FP’s two 7W rear-facing speakers are surprisingly solid for a monitor. Even with the volume cranked up all the way, the sound remains crisp and clear. Separation between mids and highs is also good, though bass isn’t as punchy as I’d like. Games like Dirt 5 (pictured above) look fantastic on the Acer Predator X32 FP. (Image credit: Tom's Guide) Of the 360Hz monitors that are currently on the market, Acer’s Predator X25 is one of the top options. Along with its ultra fast refresh rate, the X25 has a 1080P display, G-Sync compatibility, and a ridiculous 0.3ms response time.
