amazon ACER XR382 reviews
ACER XR382 is a 38-inch screen with a 21:9 ultra-wide ratio, but with a slight difference in resolution compared to the usual 34-inch ultra-wide monitors, the XR382 has a slightly higher resolution is 3840 x 1600 compared to 3440 x 1440. The increase in both display size and resolution will make a pretty big difference in a display area, up to nearly 25% larger than 34-inch monitors super wide, this is an extremely valuable upgrade for those who need more display area. In addition, ACER XR382 also brings AMD FreeSync features with a 7Hz refresh rate for better gaming performance.
The box of ACER XR382 is huge, which is understandable when 38 inches is not a small size, only 5 inches less than the popular TV size on the market is currently 43 inches. The outside of the box is printed with the product image and a series of technologies are equipped in the product right below.
DESIGN
You will need a relatively large space to place the ACER XR382 because the size of a 38-inch screen is quite large.
The stand is designed very elegantly, very similar to its ACER PREDATOR series of monitors. Although the base looks quite flimsy compared to the overall product, it is extremely sturdy, made entirely of aluminum, and finished in a very luxurious and beautiful smooth finish.
During use, do not feel shaking or uncertain, it can be said that the stand of ACER XR382 satisfies both the criteria of BEAUTIFUL and QUALITY.
This stand can raise and lower nearly 13cm, rotate 30 degrees left and right, and tilt 30 degrees back and 5 degrees forward. Similar to other ultra-wide screens, the ACER XR382 cannot rotate the screen vertically. With such flexibility, users can easily find the best viewing angle for themselves.
The rotation process is extremely smooth, without feeling any heaviness in the operation
At the top is a handle that makes it easier to move the screen. This is also the area for mounting accessories to hang headphones.
The heat outlet is arranged along the very delicate cut line
The control button cluster is arranged behind the right side of the screen with 4 buttons and 1 multi-function joystick
ACER XR382 is slightly curved compared to the ASUS PG348 screen that I used before, only 2300R compared to 1800R (note that the smaller the number, the greater the curvature) but still creates a very spatial effect good.
The USB expansion ports of the screen are arranged behind, fortunately, ACER did not hide them in the connection area but left them outside, which makes it easier to use. To use these USB ports, you must use the included USB type c cable.
The product is equipped with 2 7W speakers and has DTS certification, the speaker quality is quite good, of course, you still need a set of speakers or headphones to get the best sound quality. The headphone jack is located behind the image connection ports. ACER XR382 has connection ports including a Display Port in and out, USB type c, and 2 HDMI 2.0 in ports, of which 1 port supports MHL 2.1 standard. The USB type c port also supports receiving image signals and charging the device, which means you only need 1 cable to plug it into supported laptops, such as the 2016 Macbook Pro.
In addition, ACER XR382 is also equipped with Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture features, which can receive signals from two different sources and display them simultaneously. This is a nice feature, making the most of the screen’s usable area when needed.
ACTUAL USE
ACER XR382 has very good display quality, the results measured by specialized equipment are 100% sRGB and 70% Adobe RGB, with such color coverage, this monitor is not only suitable for entertainment but completely can be used to do graphics-related tasks such as a photo or video editing. The screen is equipped with an anti-glare coating that works very well, although used in a room with many lights and intense light, I noticed very little glare, affecting the viewing angle.
Gaming on this curved monitor is a real pleasure, with its large size, ultra-wide screen ratio, and AMD FreeSync technology, every movement in the game is extremely smooth, with no noticeable phenomenon tearing the picture. In addition, XR382 also supports HDR technology, bringing extremely vivid colors, along with high brightness, up to more than 300 cd/m2.
If that condition is satisfied, the gaming experience is on ACER XR382. Experience the game Ghost Recon Wildlands, this is a game with an extremely large open world full of colors, real-time weather, and time effects that bring an extremely vivid environment. ACER XR382 brings extremely detailed and sharp images, and bright colors, thereby perfectly showing the beautiful scenery in the game.
