Our Verdict
Acer Predator X32 Fpbmiiiiphuzx
Cooler Master Tempest GP27U
The Cooler Master Tempest GP27U and the Acer Predator X32 Fpbmiiiiphuzx share many similarities but have their own strengths and weaknesses. They both use 576 dimming zones, and each have a decent local dimming feature, but the Acer has less blooming, especially when viewed from the sides. On the other hand, the Cooler Master has less black crush and gets brighter with smaller highlights in HDR. Motion also looks much better on the Cooler Master thanks to the quicker response times. While they have the same pixel density, text clarity is better on the Cooler Master because it does a better job at displaying text.
