使用华硕 Designo Curve MX38VC(ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC)超宽曲面显示器
ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC是一款超宽显示器，其庞大的尺寸(sheer size)会给大多数用户留下深刻印象。它非常有用的一种情况是使用Excel电子表格、报告和分析中的表格和数据。对于必须同时处理大量数据和许多应用程序的数据科学家、业务分析师或软件开发人员来说，它是一款出色的工具。
它的巨大宽度和分辨率是多任务处理和同时处理多个窗口的绝佳选择。除非我在看电影或玩游戏，否则将它用于一个应用程序窗口感觉就像是一种浪费。(app window)
在这么大的屏幕上使用ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC(ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC)观看 4K 电影是一种享受。图像质量(image quality)是您对 IPS 面板所期望的，具有(IPS panel)良好的色彩还原(color reproduction)、平滑的渐变和墨黑色。2300R 曲率和音响系统有助于(sound system help)营造身临其境的体验。其Harmon Kardon 认证(Harmon Kardon certification)确保它比您在大多数显示器上找到的更好。但是，它无法与体面的 2.1音响系统(sound system)竞争，后者将提供更好的低音和更平衡的声音。
但是，在ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC(ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC)上观看 1080p 视频意味着在侧面看到很多黑色空间，这会降低视觉体验的质量。
4K 游戏在此显示器上也是一种身临其境的体验，您需要昂贵的显卡才能享受它。如果你的显卡只能玩 1080p 游戏，那么就像看电影一样，在屏幕两侧看到很多未使用的黑色空间并不是最令人满意的体验。
ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC的可调性选项仅限于将其从 +15° 倾斜到 -5°。它也没有VESA 安装支持(VESA mount support)，这对某些用户来说可能是一个缺点。如果您打算在典型的电脑桌上(computer desk)使用它，那么这些限制根本不成问题。
该显示器的配置菜单(configuration menu)由隐藏在屏幕下方的操纵杆控制。您可以使用它来浏览菜单和更改设置(menus and change settings)。配置显示器很容易，可用的选项一目了然。
为了利用充足的屏幕空间，华硕(ASUS)提供了MultiFrame 应用程序(MultiFrame app)，您可以使用该应用程序在应用程序窗口中快速移动到屏幕上您想要的位置。不幸的是，在Designo Curve MX38VC的(Designo Curve MX38VC)支持页面(support page)上，华硕(ASUS)提供了该应用程序的旧版本，该版本不适用于此显示器。为了能够使用该应用程序，您必须从此处(here)获取最新版本。
ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC 是一款令人印象深刻的超宽显示器，对于需要同时处理多个应用程序、数据和报告的用户来说非常有用。尽管它缺乏对 HDR 的支持，但您获得的多媒体体验也令人满意。(ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC is an impressive ultra-wide display, that is very useful to users who need to be productive and work with many apps, data, and reports at once. Even though it lacks support for HDR, the multimedia experiences you get are also satisfying.)

Unboxing the ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC ultra-wide curved monitor
The ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC monitor comes in a huge black box (41.2 x 23.5 x 11.7 inches or 1047 x 598 x 299 mm in size) that weighs about 35 lbs or 16 kg. It is safely packaged inside, so that it does not get damaged while it is shipped to customers. On the sides, you see pictures of the monitor, its product name, the awards that it has received, and some of its most important specifications.
The unboxing is a bit difficult because of the size of the monitor. Two people should take the monitor and all its accessories out of the box. Inside of the box, you find: the monitor itself, the power cord and the power adapter, an audio cable, a USB-Type C cable, a USB-C to A cable, one HDMI cable, the quick start guide, and the warranty card. In some markets, you may also find a DisplayPort cable bundled in the box.
The box in which ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC is packaged is both large and heavy. The unboxing is a bit difficult, and two people best do it. Inside the package, you find everything you need to plug the monitor in almost anything you wish, from a desktop PC, a laptop, smartphone, or another computing device.
Hardware specifications and design
ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC is a 37.5" ultra-wide monitor, with a 21:9 aspect ratio, and a maximum resolution of 3840x1600 pixels (4K on the horizontal, and slightly fewer pixels on the vertical). It uses an IPS non-glare panel, with a response time of 5 ms, a maximum brightness of 300 cd/m2, a contrast ratio of 1000:1, and a viewing angle of 178 degrees, both horizontally and vertically. The curvature of the panel is 2300R, meaning that it is rather subtle and equal to that of a circle with a radius of 2.3 meters. The refresh rate varies between 52 and 75 Hz. It is not as high as that offered by gaming monitors, but it does have support for the Radeon FreeSync technology, meaning that games should look good on this monitor.
When it comes to ports, the ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC is quite generous. On its back, you find two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.2, one USB Type C, two USB 3.0 ports with USB charging support, an audio input jack, and an earphone jack.
Couple all these ports with a Bluetooth chip and a transparent base with a built-in 15W Qi wireless charger, and you should agree with us that this monitor is also friendly with your smartphone, not just your PC.
The audio is provided by two 10 W stereo speakers, certified by Harman Kardon. You will find that you can use the ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC as a speaker for your smartphone as well as your PC.
ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC packs many useful technologies, including a blue light filter, ASUS' Flicker-free technology, or the SplendidPlus technology that optimizes videos and images by enhancing color brightness, contrast, and sharpness. However, it lacks HDR (High Dynamic Range), which is popular with other monitors in its price range.

Using the ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC ultra-wide curved monitor
ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC is an ultra-wide display, and most users are going to be impressed by its sheer size. One of the situations where it is highly useful is working with tables and data in Excel spreadsheets, reports, and analytics. It is an excellent tool for data scientists, business analysts, or software developers, who have to work with lots of data and many apps in parallel.
Its huge width, as well as its resolution, are a great choice for multitasking and working with multiple windows at the same time. Using it for one app window felt like a waste, unless I was watching a movie or playing a game.
Watching 4K movies on the ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC is a pleasure on a screen this big. The image quality is what you would expect from an IPS panel, with good color reproduction, smooth gradients, and inky blacks. The 2300R curvature and the sound system help create an immersive experience. Its Harmon Kardon certification ensures that it is better than what you find on most monitors. However, it can't compete with a decent 2.1 sound system, which is going to offer better bass and a more balanced sound.
However, watching 1080p videos on the ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC means seeing much black space on the sides, which lowers the quality of the visual experience.
4K gaming is also an immersive experience on this display, and you need an expensive graphics card to be able to enjoy it. If your graphics card can only do 1080p gaming, then, just like with the movies, seeing much unused black space on the sides of the screen is not the most satisfying experience.
The adjustability options on the ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC are limited to tilting it from +15° to -5°. It also does not have VESA mount support, which may be a downside for some users. If you plan to use it on a typical computer desk, these limitations should not be a problem at all.
The configuration menu of this monitor is controlled with a joystick tucked underneath the screen. You use it to browse the menus and change settings. Configuring the monitor is easy, and the options available are self-explanatory.
To take advantage of the ample screen space, ASUS offers its MultiFrame app that you can use to quickly move around app windows to where you want on the screen. Unfortunately, on the support page for the Designo Curve MX38VC, ASUS offers an older version of the app, which doesn't work with this monitor. To be able to use the app, you must get the latest version from here.
ASUS Designo Curve MX38VC is an impressive ultra-wide display, that is very useful to users who need to be productive and work with many apps, data, and reports at once. Even though it lacks support for HDR, the multimedia experiences you get are also satisfying.
