Acer are set to release an interesting new format screen in their range in the near future, with a bit of information starting to appear online. The XR382CQK is a whopping 37.5" in size, and is an ultra wide format. The aspect ratio is an unusual 2:4:1, with a 3840 x 1600 resolution. It's a curved IPS panel as well, with 2300R curvature. Acer say that it will offer adaptive-sync support as well for gaming needs.
Based on the limited information available at the moment we expect the screen to be based on LG.Display's new LM375QW1 panel which would also offer 1000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, sRGB gamut, 178/178 viewing angles and is expected to go in to production in Sept 2016. With that in mind, we would expect to see this screen released towards the end of the year at best. Given the use of FreeSync we would expect multiple inputs to be offered, but refresh rate will be limited to 60Hz, maybe 75Hz if we're lucky, more info as we get it.
