Acer Predator X38 S review (2022)
A closer look at one of the market's lead 4K 144Hz gaming monitors
The Acer Predator X38 S is the brand’s latest refresh of the hugely popular X38 P – a high-performance 37.5″ IPS ultrawide curved gaming monitor. On paper, the X38 S seems to deliver on all fronts – featuring excellent color accuracy, responsiveness, immersion, and picture quality.
It features an overclockable 175Hz refresh rate, low 0.3ms response time, and a gaming-packed OSD that allows for excellent customization of the panel’s response. Furthermore, with VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification, a 750 nit peak brightness, and pre-calibrated colors right out of the box, the X38 S also provides a superb visual experience no matter what content you’re viewing.
While having a few minor flaws, the Predator X38 S is still one of the best ultrawide gaming monitors available today. And despite its high price tag, we still feel it offers excellent value in a well-stocked market.
