Acer Predator X38 S

This is what matters about Acer Predator X38 S.

About

A holdout using a dedicated NVIDIA G-Sync Ultimate hardware module instead of the open VRR standard — precise overdrive control, but the module's fixed-era HDMI 2.0/DisplayPort 1.4 signaling means it never learned to speak FreeSync or console VRR, and there's no USB-C at all.

Confirmed with

  • PS5

    Works but is unoptimized for consoles — the lack of native ultrawide support means you can't use the full 3840x1600 potential or aspect ratio.

  • Xbox Series X|S

    Functions with the console but has the exact same lack of optimization and scaling limitations as the PS5.
