Oh, I didn't realize that. Was so disappointed. Thanks. I guess I will be selling off my current monitor after all.

AW 3225QF "Curved screen pulls players..." and I'm out. They literally tripped over themselves, right before the finish line. Amazing...the wait continues...and they were sooo close...amazing fail. Just...amazing...

Did you turn the Max Brightness option "On"? The monitor is unusable without it. The monitor still requires increasing brightness and contrast in in Nvidia control panel for a bright HDR experience. I am not exactly blown away by the monitor, but having tried out the Samsung Neo G7 and the LG...

The newest firmware has the Acer X32 FP automatically switch to HDR mode, on HDR input. Also, now you can always disable the Overdrive completely, since the option has been unlocked, where previously it was locked in some circumstances. The auto-dimming is still manual though.

Playing around with Acer X32 FP... In Nvidia Control Panel, shift brightness to 70%, but contrast to 90% - 100%. HDR mode "On" in Windows and monitor. Local Dimming to "Fast". Play the usual YouTube video "2020 LG OLED l The Black 4K HDR 60fps". Looks pretty amazing and the FALD "falls apart"...

You know what? In the end I've decided to keep the Acer X32 FP running with HDR and Fast Local Dimming all the time. I also left the Windows HDR permanently on. Unlike the Neo G7, this actually works good and doesn't look washed out in Windows 11 while browsing etc. You can fine tune i.e...

My first requirement is for monitor to be excellent for work, since that’s how I pay for it and, you know, eat. My 2nd requirement is for it to be also as good for gaming as it could possibly be. My 3rd one is not to be insanely expensive. This monitor simply ticks those boxes, more than any...

I don't think anyone would consider this an issue, since you are supposed to use the adaptive dimming only while gaming. The point is to get more contrast in games, which will give you more realistic i.e. immersive experience. It's really not needed for work. I mean, people even complain about...

I just got mine. Can confirm everything people wrote here about the X32 FP. I can compare it to Samsung Neo G7 I returned, and I can only say, that unlike the Neo G7, I won't be returning this one. Don't have a lot of time to check the monitor out in detail, but the panel seems very good and has...

No, the monitors we discuss here are hobbyist, because they require a lot of fiddling to get some core features like HDR, local dimming and VRR running correctly. On the other hand, these OLEDs are more-or-less plug and play and look great without all the fiddling. Yes, I am following the...

I think it's pretty clear, that 32" 4k IPS high refresh FALD HDR screens are for "monitor hobbyists" only. Which is why I am certain, even though I just bought such an IPS, OLEDs will ultimately trample all over this mini-LED tech. As a point of comparison, in my country, Acer X32 FP currently...

Acer just posted a 20% discount in my country, so I just ordered an X32 FP as well from Acer store. Asus is just so obnoxiously slow and secretive about their release date, they pissed me off too much already.

Yes, but the text clarity/fringing is not an issue for gaming, just for productivity, and productivity i.e. staring at a lot of text all day long, is what scaling makes a much nicer experience of. If you'll allow me just a small off-topic note about the Neo G7 1000R curve...It doesn't look like...

Most of the time, I was pixel peeping from like 1 ft (cca 30cm), but I did try to look from a couple of feet away too, as far as I could go, and actually read the text comfortably. IDK, the sample still looked bad to me personally (without any scaling applied). But with scaling (at least 1440p)...

Yeah, I am waiting for some major reseller in my country, with a decent return policy to offer one before I pull the trigger myself...or for Asus to offer their spin on the same panel later this year. Whichever comes first.
