Did not know you could adjust the color temp in hdr. I assume it can also be done on the nitro XV5 27” version of this display. Will have to try it out and see as it is quite blue on my unit out of the box and looks practically the same temp as the lg oled 27gr95qe in gamer 2 (which I am somehow getting used to!). Anyway, thanks for all your work. Subscribed!
I have the Acer Predator 32" 4k 144hz monitor and all the colors are washed out unless I put it in HDR mode. Once I put it in HDR mode I can't adjust brightness. The blacks look gray in any other mode. My next monitor will be an Asus ROG monitor. I've seen the colors in the 27 inch 240hz monitor and it's a huge difference.
Which Acer Predator model? There are many and this one (X32 FP, which is 160Hz incidentally) should look VERY far from 'washed out' using its native gamut. Quite the opposite due to heavy oversaturation, as assessed in detail in the review.
So far I've purchased two OLED monitors. The first being the Alienware 175 Hz and the second to 240 Hz Corsair Flex and all I can say is there's no going back.
I'm glad you're enjoying the OLED experience, which I do understand as an owner of the AW3423DW and 27GR95QE myself. They make very good reference monitors.
@@PCMonitors .. I bought them both at release. However, I still haven't seen any Firmware updates from Corsair and until just the last Nvidia release my $2K Corsair said G-Sync "Not Validated" which I must admit really made me lose faith in Corsair. The original 175 Hz G-Sync "Ultra" Module is fine but there's again not firmware upgrade path and there are some bugs especially the annoying Pixel Refresh that can be run once the damn thing is sitting in standby mode! OLED's only real downside especially in FPS games is its DARKNESS, I have crank-up the brightness using the NVidia Control Panel even after it's 100% on the monitor. The "Game" mode on the Corsair is okay. However, if you're using HDR (which isn't always available .. some games fail to recognize) both are extremely DARK and the brightness using the NVidia Control Panel is essential. My END GAME is going to be a 1kHz, 1000+ nit, bright OLED with a DisplayPort or "next gen" port that will accommodate the bandwidth UNCOMPRESSED. It blows my mind that neither the RTX 4090 and Corsair Flex both have DP 1.4a/HDMI 2.1 ports don't offer DisplayPort 2.x and a dedicated G-Sync Module to match! Even the mLED I don't believe will offer either 1kHz nor
Not necessary (or possible, I no longer have the monitor). The original firmware update file (should be 3.1MB) includes a PDF which goes through the process. This is mentioned in the written review - pcmonitors.info/reviews/acer-predator-x32-fp/#Calibration.
Hi, as regards quick-start mode, in some of the earlier manuals it mentions that from standby to screen on will be quicker at the expense of using a little extra power in standby. Is that something you can test? Thanks.
No as I no longer have the monitor. It is demonstrated in the video, though, and as noted it improves port cycling time and that would apply when the SYSTEM comes out of standby as well. If the screen goes into standby (not the system) it seemed to wake quickly without cycling inputs, though.

Can you please make a video on how to update the Firmwire on this monitor?

I think I will wait for the review of the Non-FP version, that should have G-synch.
Who knows when it will be released?
Afraid I haven't seen confirmation on release of that one.
Do you know if there´s a way to reset the monitors setting? like a hard reset.
Yes, it's detailed in the full OSD video. You press 'i' (information) in the OSD and will find it there.
how to access to settings
When I disable Adaptive Sync I still can't adjust overdrive with the new firmware. How do you do that and not have it greyed out?
The overdrive setting shouldn't be affected by Adaptive-Sync either way. Try a factory reset of the screen ('i' in menu).
Will do! Appreciate the advice !@@PCMonitors
Gsync compatible ? :)
Yes, 'G-SYNC Compatible' worked without particular issue as covered in the review.
