Even with the volume cranked up all the way, the sound remains crisp and clear. The X32 FP’s two 7W rear-facing speakers are surprisingly solid for a monitor. 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. Max brightness is off by default, which initially led me to believe the display was unusually dim. For instance, in User mode, the monitor averaged 124 nits of brightness without it compared to 404 nits with max brightness enabled. Enabling this option makes a huge difference. The Predator X32 FP has a setting called “max brightness” that you can toggle on and off. These monitors aren’t as saturated but they have better color accuracy. 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. Because of that, the Predator X32 FP can appear more colorful than the aforementioned competitors. Values above 100% for sRGB and DCI-P3 generally mean less accurate, more saturated colors. Games like Dirt 5 (pictured above) look fantastic on the Acer Predator X32 FP. With the exception of Racing and Action, which achieved 188% / 133% and 166% / 117% (respectively), the other modes achieved similar values to Standard mode. Its Delta-E value reached 0.26 (closer to 0 is better). In User mode, the display achieved 226% of the sRGB color gamut and 160% of the DCI-P3 color gamut (closer to 100% is best). The monitor is advertised to hit 1,000 nits of HDR brightness and our testing confirms that’s the case. 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. HDR mode, which is its own separate mode, is where this monitor literally shines. 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.
