BIG SCREEN, BIGGER CURVE

Curved displays take gaming to a new level of play – one that pulls you in, wraps around your vision and refuses to let go. So, when it came to delivering gameplay in full 37.5-inch panoramic glory – only 2300R, in breathtaking 21:9, would do.

AGILE-SPLENDOR IPS

Few displays can match the speed of this display. Using fast crystal liquid technology and a wide color gamut, the X38 can achieve up to a 0.3ms1 response time while maintaining a high color gamut – meaning all the on-screen action comes through nice and smooth with almost no ghosting or color banding.

LET’S GET HYPER

If you want seamless gameplay at absolutely ridiculous levels of speed, you’ve come to the right place. With a lightning-quick refresh rate and NVIDIA® G-SYNC® ULTIMATE – your sessions will be fluid, unbroken and unmatched. Now you can land those reflexive shots with pinpoint accuracy.

ARE YOU FAST ENOUGH?

Want to be at the top of the competitive ladder? Use NVIDIA®’s Reflex Latency Analyzer4 to measure exactly how long it takes for your click to register on screen. Finally, a way to accurately measure the bond, or lack thereof, between mouse, PC and your display is all yours.

HOW IT WORKS

By detecting the clicks coming from your mouse and measuring the time it takes for a resulting display pixel change (i.e. gun fire) to happen on the screen. A measurement and report ensues.

WHAT YOU GET

GeForce Experience’s new Performance Overlay reports the latency metrics in real-time. The analyzer then breaks the system latency measurement up into Mouse Latency, PC + Display Latency, and System Latency.

FUTURISTIC DESIGN

The silver-hued arms span out in two directions – holding the display aloft, welcoming you to the world of curve while allowing you to tilt, swivel and vertically adjust the monolithic display to find that ergonomic sweet spot with deadly ease.

PUMP UP THE VOLUME

No speakers? No problem. Two powerful 7-watt speakers have your back.

ZEROFRAME

Less bezels means more visible display for you to enjoy.

PORT HAVEN

HDMI 2.0, DP 1.4 and a USB 3.0 HUB for four other devices.

PREDATOR GAMEVIEW

Accessed via the OSD (on-screen display), GameView provides a number of useful features, such as setting the level of dark boost, ambient lighting, gaming profiles (up to 8), and more. Using this will optimize the display for the type of game you are playing.

DARK BOOST

Gain an edge over the competition and fine-tune your visuals with greater details in dimly lit environments.

AIM POINTS

Minimize misfires with aim-points. You have three options to choose from through your OSD or GameView settings.

GAME MODES

There are three game modes to choose from: action, racing and sports. Use the default profile or customize your own to fit your preferences.

TECH FOR THE EYES

Long game sessions, editing videos and staring at excel sheets puts a lot of strain on the eyes—we know. Protect your vision with Flickerless™ and BlueLightShield™.

FLICKERLESSâ„¢

This technology works by providing stable, consistent power to the display and eliminating any chance for noticeable flicker.

BLUELIGHTSHIELDâ„¢

Choose from four filter settings via the OSD if you suspect that blue lights, being emitted from the LED panel, are causing eyestrain. We know the X38 is impressive but we never said don’t blink!
