Still without a launch date but already with an award in the Best Choice category of the fair, this monitor stands out not because of its size or resolution, which are not very new, but because it is one of the first and still very few ultra-wide OLED monitors. In fact, it is not just any OLED screen, since it uses a filter quantum dot that allows us to assign your parentage to Samsung.
Entering the field of technical specifications, the ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD is a 49-inch monitor with 5120 x 1440 pixels of resolution with a 1800R curvature and a 144 Hz refresh rate. As a good OLED screen (QD-OLED in its case), It is capable of virtually infinite contrast with the best quality imaginable for black, while providing a very low response time: just 0.3 ms in GtG mode. The maximum brightness is 1,000 nits.
Asus hasn’t pointed out much more information. The number of ports, for example, is unknown, although they will surely be numerous if one considers that these types of screens usually come with a switch KVM to favor its use with several computers at the same time. Regarding the type of refresh, the absence of references to Nvidia suggests that it is a G-Sync Compatible and/or FreeSync Premium Pro monitor.
Asus will provide its pricing and availability at a later date, though given its specs, don’t expect a very affordable price.
