Right out of the box, the Acer Predator X28 has superb color and contrast. Source: Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Windows Central) Could be that I don't sit close enough for it to function properly. It's a neat feature that can help save energy by dimming and eventually putting the monitor to sleep when you walk away, though I'm not entirely sure how effective it really is.

The ProxiSense feature can tell when you walk away from the monitor, acting sort of like human presence detection that's becoming more common in laptops. One thing I appreciate as someone with light sensitivity is the accompanying 'peak white' setting that lets you put a cap on brightness no matter how much ambient light the sensor reads. You can disable this setting in the OSD menu if you prefer a dynamic brightness. The monitor will read ambient room lighting and adjust the screen's brightness and color temperature to match. Acer's LightSense, ColorSense, and ProxiSense features are all in play here thanks to this sensor.

There's room for some Predator branding on the bottom-left corner and a wide sensor in the middle. Bezel around the screen is thin, and the chin below doesn't take up too much space.
