Acer planning a 49-inch Mini LED monitor to rival Samsung Odyssey G9 | KitGuru
 
According to a Taobao listing (via TFT Central), the Acer EI491CRG9 is a 49-inch monitor with a 1000R curvature, 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms G2G response time, and 5120×1440 resolution. This 32:9 curved VA panel features a 4000:1 contrast ratio and 2000nits of peak brightness, allowing the monitor to cover 95% of the DCI-P3 spectrum. The panel is listed with 1.07b colours, which usually means it has a 10-bit colour depth, but the listing shows 12-bit. It is unclear if this is a typo or if there’s something going on in the LUT that we are unaware of.
 
Like the Samsung Odyssey G9, the Acer EI491CRG9 is Nvidia G-Sync Compatible and supports AMD FreeSync. It’s also certified by VESA as DisplayHDR 2000 capable and uses Mini LED technology, featuring 2048 local dimming zones. The back of the monitor has 2x HDMI ports, 2x DisplayPorts, and a pair of 3W speakers. There’s also a 3.5mm jack to connect a headset and 2x USB-A 3.0 ports for devices. The ergonomic capabilities of the included stand seem to be limited to height adjustment, but there’s support for VESA 75x75mm monitor arms. The monitor is listed at ¥14,999 (£1662) with an expected release date in mid-June. 
 
It's an expensive monitor but if you want one of the best 49 inch monitors out there this one should be close to Samsung's 49 inch monitor.

    I don’t really get the appeal of these massive gaming monitors. I have an Alienware 34” ultra wide I got for a massive steal between a Dell sale and AMEX giving extra cash back and I can’t imagine anything much larger being usable for gaming.

    You would have to sit so far back from it to be able to get the whole thing in view that it might as well be a TV.

    There is an appeal to these ultrawides, I like the idea of the images at the sides instead of just a flat field of view.  Is the support pretty widespread...I'm worried I would be buying a bit of a 3d tv with limited support, even if quite a few games support it.  I'm thinking I would rather just get a really good 4k 120 hz monitor or a tv to use as a monitor like the LG OLED 48 inch, or supposed 42 inch that's coming out this year if 48 is too big as a monitor.
