NVIDIA released G -SYNC Ultimate to create a category of high performance monitors with the latest on the market together with its G-SYNC hardware synchronization technology. Among the characteristics that certified monitors had to meet, was DCI-P3 color coverage and the best available HDR, the one that could achieve 1000 cd / m² as in the case of the Acer Predator X 35 that we analyze.

G-SYNC Ultimate no longer means that the monitor has HDR support 1000

However, it seems that G-SYNC Ultimate has downgraded, and the company has updated the minimum characteristics, going from BEST HDR; to “LifeLike HDR”, a rather ambiguous name that has led to NVIDIA certifying G-SYNC Ultimate monitors with support for the most basic HDR, DisplayHDR 400.

In fact, models like the ACER X 34 S now appear certified as G-SYNC Ultimate with only compatibility HDR Display 400.

NVIDIA assures that this is an error and that ACER X 34 S should not be on that list, (although there are models with HDR 600) in addition to commenting that they changed the specification to include news:

“Late last year we updated G-SYNC ULTIMATE to include new evas display technologies such as OLED and latest generation LCDs

All G-SYNC Ultimate displays are equipped with NVIDIA G-SYNC processors to deliver a fantastic gaming experience including lifelike HDR, stunning contrast, cinematic color and modes. ultra low latency. While the original G-SYNC Ultimate screens were 1000 nits with FALD, the newer ones, like OLED, offer infinite contrast with only 600 – 700 nits. G-SYNC Ultimate was never defined only by the nits nor was a VESA DisplayHDR certification 1000 required. Conventional G-SYNC displays also have NVIDIA G-SYNC processors installed.

Monitor ACER X 34 S was wrongly listed as G-SYNC ULTIMATE on NVIDIA’s website. It should be listed as “G-SYNC”, the web is being updated. “
