A 49-inch OLED gaming monitor, it doesn’t get much better than this. I’m talking immersion out the wazoo, but even in very real terms, you’re looking at a 5120 x 1440, 144 Hz, QD-OLED panel stuffed into this monitor, which offers an unbeatable 0.03 ms response time.

That 49-inch screen, for starters. There’s no escaping the engulfing gameplay of anything you play writ large on this size screen. Yet the important thing is the 5120 x 1440 resolution isn’t actually as demanding on your hardware as it may appear. You’ll need ahigh-end graphics card, no doubt about that, but you can get solid frame rates up to this screen’s 144 Hz refresh rate (depending on the game, of course) with most 4K capable cards.

The OLED screen is most impressive while gaming. In my experience with the Asus 49-inch OLED, I found it produces some of the most vivid and engrossing images I’ve experienced outside of the cinema. The experience on this OLED shouldn’t be dissimilar from those we’ve tested, either, though it could be tweaked as manufacturers often set up panels slightly differently.

Though for a massively ultrawide gaming monitor, with an OLED panel no less, this is a fine price indeed. Definitely worth a look if you’re in the market and won’t settle for something less than absurd.
