The Acer Predator X32 is super bright, super expensive
When dream-build PCs start coming together in 2020, Acer's newest display is likely to find a spot on many of those lists as the ultimate gaming screen. The Acer Predator X32 is one of only two mini-LED panels and only the second to get VESA's highest DisplayHDR certification. Oh, and it's really expensive.

The Acer Predator X32 has a killer feature-set in general, but let's talk about the real standout features first. This is one of only two mini-LED monitors heading for the market. On the scale of LED screens, there's LED, mini-LED, and microLED. Mini-LED diodes are half the size of those in LED monitors, and that means it's possible to fit more local dimming zones-backlights that allow the monitor to display "true" black sections-behind the panel. And did they ever do that. The X32 sports 1,152 local dimming zones. In comparison, Acer's own

The Acer Predator X32 is a 32-inch display with G-Sync Ultimate certification, which means it has the "latest Nvidia G-Sync processor" and is generally considered a top-tier screen by Nvidia. The screen also offers a 144Hz refresh rate.
If you happen to be in the content-creation business, this screen can also do double duty. It covers 89.5% of the Rec. 2020 gamut and 99% of AdobeRGB, both of which are impressive.
Acer hasn't put an exact release date on the Predator X32, but it has given it a price tag. The Acer Predator X32 arrives in Q1 2020 and costs a whopping $3,599. Hey, it costs less than Apple's ProDisplay XDR.

The Acer Predator X38 is a 37.5-inch ultra-wide curved display. It has a resolution of 3840 x 1600 pixels and 2300R curvature. The screen is
