Acer Predator X32 FP - Remake Reality
Einstein once said, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” Clearly Einstein never sat down in front of the Acer Predator X32 FP for a reality-bending gaming session. This mini-LED monitor is ready to bend, twist, and sculpt reality beyond all expectations, changing the way you game not just today, but forevermore.
Before we proceed, enjoy whatever monitor you’re reading this article on. But be warned that once you’ve experienced the 576 local dimming zones of the Acer Predator X32 FP, no other monitor will be up to par. Remember the past, appreciate the present, and prepare to step into the future of gaming, content creation and movie streaming display with this nifty Acer gaming monitor.
We’re certainly ready for it, and if you are too, then read on to discover the remarkable features of the Predator X32 FP. To ensure your full appreciation of the Predator X32 FP, we’ll also cover the essentials of Mini-LED technology.
Peruse the pages of Acer Corner and you’ll swiftly see that we’re passionate about discussing a wide range of display technologies and styles. From LED to OLED, 4K, widescreen, and even curved, gaming monitors come in many shapes and sizes. Mini LED is a display technology built upon the fundamentals of LED (light-emitting diode) displays. In both LED and Mini-LED, the LEDs function as the backlight behind an LCD (liquid crystal display) to create the images you see. This enables both LED and Mini-LED displays to deliver brightness, color accuracy, and energy efficiency in comparatively thin, lightweight screens.
Mini-LED represents the next step in LED technology. The light emitting diodes that backlight the Mini-LED screen are much smaller than traditional LEDs. Mini-LEDs measure around 0.008-inches, or 200 microns. This is around 20% the size of regular LEDs, meaning that many, many more Mini-LEDs can be crammed into a screen. This in turn creates the possibility of hundreds of localized dimming zones, in comparison to (at most) dozens of dimming zones for standard LED displays.
In practical terms, this means brighter brights, darker darks and minimal haloing of dimming zones where they meet high contrast zones. While OLED (organic light emitting diode) is currently the king of displays, Mini-LED can certainly deliver stunning HDR and rich display, coming in a close second to its organic light emitting cousin. While we’re not going to get bogged down in price comparisons in this article, it’s worth mentioning that the cost of a Mini-LED display, while more expensive than regular LED, is lower, and more accessible than the higher prices of OLED displays.
