Glad you’re enjoying it. It’s always nice to find a title that is really enhanced by HDR on a monitor that can put it to good use. 🙂

New firmware has been released. The changelog is not that clear to me.
https://www.acer.com/us-en/support/product-support/X32FP/downloads

1.fix ADW customer complaint issue
2.change OD to be adjustable when freesync is on
3.change HDR behavior
4. fix customer complaint issue, fuzzy screen of PC game Witcher3

I am trying to understand what they fixed in point 1,
point 2, OD was already adjustable when freesync is on, so don’t understand this pount,
point 3, I see no change in HDR but will try to understand it,
point 4 is pretty self explanatory even if I had no problem in TW3.

Ok, I found some photos from the old firmware update in june 2023 and it’s V02.00.015,
I flashed the firmware that I downloaded today from Acer website that reports a new release date 2024/01/04
but it’s the same version, V02.00.015.

I think that they only updated the release date on the website but the firmware is the same. -_-

Yeah, I thought those release notes sounded extremely familiar.

The PDF manuals for firmware updates were added to the .015 files, whereas before they were only found in the .010 archive.

I have a small issue on my X32FP, once every 10 boot, more or less,
Windows starts as if the monitor is ultra wide, I can see only half of the desktop (in full screen stretched) and I need to reboot the PC to return to normality.

is there someone else ever experienced on this monitor?
using an RTX4090…

Yes, the same thing happened with my x32. It was the first time and I simply had to power off and on the monitor. I didn’t investigate much but in the display settings nothing was out of the ordinary. The only thing I changed recently, was installing NVIDIA app to try out RTX HDR. Maybe it has something to do with that.

AW3225QF came in and replaced the X32. I played 2 days with the aw and got no eye strain like with the 3423dwf. Brightness is enough but of course lacks the fullscreen brightness of the X32. I thought I would hate the lack of brightness but I didn’t even think about it after an hour with the AW3225QF, because everything else is so much better. Better motion clarity, better colours and no more dark biasing which destroyed so many dark details and light sources surrounded by dark shades. All in all I think it is a great display and I would buy it every time over the X32. Even if they where the same price ( the x32 is about 300 euro more here in Germany). Now I have to wait and see what’s up with burn in, because I use my monitor for work. If you want to know more I’m happy to answer your questions.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the AW3225QF, Rakni. I’m glad you’re enjoying the experience so far. 🙂
