ASUS today unveiled the obscenely wide ROG Strix XG49VQ 49-inch curved gaming monitor, with an aspect ratio of 32:9, or what you'd get if you put two 16:9 monitors side-by-side. With a resolution of 3840 x 1080, or half the pixels of 4K UHD, the monitor features an 1800R curvature. There are two notable branded features associated with this display: VESA DisplayHDR 400, and AMD FreeSync HDR. The price wasn't announced yet but I expect I'd have to sell a kidney to afford it. 
 


AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    VA Panel

    I probably won't buy into the 32:9 idea until there is a 2160p variant of that aspect ratio.

    I prob will buy into the Acer X34P myself. I want a ultra wide but not a giant wide. I was hoping for a 34ish curved Ultra Wide with 100Hz+, and G-Sync HDR on a IPS screen this year but instead we get a VA Panel again LOL. I rather sacrifice some contrast for minimal ghosting that can plague VA Panels.

    I really wonder the price. I personally would rather go for a 4k monitor and a more common size but I can see some people who would want a monitor like this.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.
