Usually reserved for Acer's gaming-dedicated Predator lineup, the XR382CQK also comes with GameView technology wherein users can switch among three different customizable display profiles.
Given these technical specifications, the display is able to deliver a superior gaming experience. To match the visual performance, Acer has also equipped the monitor with 7-watt speakers featuring DTS sound for an enhanced auditory experience. Furthermore, Acer's display also features flicker-less technology to prevent eye strain even after prolonged gaming sessions.
