Acer is further fleshing out its gaming monitor lineup with the release of yet another UltraWide release. Today’s addition comes in the form of the XR382CQK, which sports a massive 37.5-inch 21:9 display with a resolution of 3840x1600. But the UltraWide resolution isn’t the only thing that the XR382CQK brings to the table; the curved monitor (2300R) also has a ZeroFrame design that minimizes unsightly bezels to give users a more immersive gaming experience.

Acer has also infused the XR382CQK with a 5ms IPS panel that offer 172-degree horizontal and 178-degree vertical viewing angles. Brightness is listed at 300 nits, 1.07 billion colors are supported (with 100 percent of the sRGB gamut) and the monitor has a contrast ratio of 100,000,000:1. Also on tap is up to a 75Hz refresh rate, which is backed by AMD FreeSync technology to smooth out stuttering and reduce visual tearing.

Acer XR382CQK Straight On

When it comes to hookups, the XR382CQK has HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort v1.2 inputs as well as built-in 4-port USB 3.0 hub. And just in case you were wondering, there’s also a USB 3.1 Type-C port that support data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps. And if you don’t feel like hooking up an external speaker setup, the XR382CQK has two 7W DTS-enabled speakers. Other features include Picture-by-Picture, which supports two inputs for side-by-side viewing on a single screen, Picture-in-Picture, Acer EyeProtect blue-light filter, and ComfyView (to reduce eye strain).

The Acer XR382CQK is available today from "leading retailers" with a MSRP of $1,299.
