Acer XR382CQK FreeSync Monitor – the Edge Of Curved Monitors
Introduction
Curved monitors become a self-confident category of monitors. They fit both for gamers, who want to get totally absorbed to the gaming process and for usual users, who want to have a universal monitor for working and watching movies. You can find models with the diagonals of 32-38" and with the resolution from 2560x1080 to 3840x1600.
And today we are going to talk about Acer’s latest XR382CQK 38” ultra-wide monitor. If you want more that QHD its 3840x1600 resolution will surely satisfy you. The given monitor provides FreeSync and 75Hz and excellent quality.
The XR382CQK has 2300mm curve radius, that provides a nice wrap-around effect without image distortion. Because of its tremendous width, the user sits at a comfortable distance and completely fills his or her peripheral vision.

Video Inputs — (1) DisplayPort v1.2 in, (1) DisplayPort v1.2 out, (1) HDMI v2.0, (1) HDMI w/MHL v2.1
Audio — 3.5mm Headphone out
USB — (1) USB-C in, v3.0: (4) down
Power Consumption — 46W Typical
Panel Dimensions WxHxD w/base — 35.3x17.8-22.8x12" (897x452-579x305mm)
Panel ThicknessPanel Thickness — 3.7" (94mm)
Bezel Width — Top/Sides: 0.4" (11mm), Bottom: 0.9" (22mm)
Weight — 23.6lbs (10.7kg)
Warranty — 3 Years
Packaging and Design
As the monitor is really big it comes in a large carton box with protection foam. In addition the user gets an external power supply, two DisplayPort cables and USB-C.
Due to its size the monitor needs pretty much space. The stand is made from aluminum and looks very sophisticated. Rubber covers from the bottom on the support surfaces of the stand base protect the table from scratches and prevent the monitor from sliding on smooth surfaces. The stand changes over a handle which helps to move the monitor. It has full adjustment, with 5" of height, 30° swivel in each direction, 35° backward tilt, and 5° forward. It has no portrait-mode.
The plane of the screen is visibly bent along the cylinder so that the right and left edges are pushed forward towards the user. By reflection on the screen, it is seen that the bend is more or less uniform over a larger area and its radius is nearly two meters. Only on the sides in the vertical region of about 2-3 cm the screen is rather flat, and at the edge it is even slightly convex. The front surface of the screen looks like a monolithic dark (not totally black) semi-matte surface. It is bounded by a relatively narrow frame of matte black plastic from below, and by a narrow edging made of the same material along the perimeter. Having displayed the image on the screen, you can see that there are narrow margins between the outer boundaries of the screen and the actual display area. The back panel is also made of black plastic with a matte surface and a shallow relief.
The screen has 3H-hardness plastic layer which provides an anti-glare effect. There are LEDs on the bottom bezel and you can change the colors and brightness of them. Also they can light flashing or pulsating.
On the back right side there are three control buttons, a power button and a joystick.
Main Characteristics
The monitor is equipped with four digital inputs: DisplayPort in full-size, two HDMI, one of which is version 2.0, and the other with support for MHL 2.1, and a USB 3.1 Type C interface. This last input seems to be used as an input for a USB (3.0) -concentrator with four outputs, one of which with increased power, and a video input in the DisplayPort ALT Mode. In the menu, you can choose to switch on the USB hub when the monitor is in standby mode.
The power indicator lights bright blue, in standby mode it is orange, and does not light up if the monitor is switched off. When the monitor is on and there is no menu on the screen, when the first button is pressed or the joystick is pressed, a start menu of four items is displayed on the screen.
There are relatively many settings that change the brightness and color balance. For example, a user can choose one of the preset color temperature profiles, and manually adjust the gain and offset of three primary colors.
Pluses:
+Stylish design
+High quality color rendering
+Support of 10-bit color representation
+Support of AMD FreeSync technology on DisplayPort and HDMI
+No backlight flickering
+Mode with low intensity of the blue component
+Wide range of brightness adjustment
+Four digital video inputs
+USB 3.1 Type C Interface
+Support for MHL 2.1
+A four-port USB 3.0 hub with one port for fast charging
+Serial connection support in the DisplayPort circuit
+Functions «picture-in-picture» and «picture-next-to-picture»
+Comfortable adjustable stand and headphone hook
+Small values of response times and output delays
+Relatively high quality built-in loudspeakers
+Good quality headphone output
+A convenient 5-way joystick on the control panel
+Adjustable backlight to the table
Conclusion
The Acer XR382CQK monitor attracts attention, both with its appearance and rich functionality. Despite the lack of support of high-frequency updates, support of AMD's FreeSync technology, as well as low response time and output delays, this monitor can to be assigned to gaming models. This ultra-wide curved screen will provide an almost panoramic view in games and when watching movies, and when working with texts and images, it will increase comfort, reducing distortion of the edges. In general, the combination of characteristics Acer XR382CQK can be attributed to universal models, suitable for typical office work, for working with graphics (if enough space sRGB), with CAD/CAM, as well as for video editing.
