Meet the ASUS ROG XG49VQ, this one as well has a 49" inch VA Curved panel at 3840x1080 pixelsan with an aspect ratio of 32:9 and 144 Hz. ... ASUS also offers a 49 " Display, ROG Strix XG49VQ
It's quite similar to the Acer 49" monitor, and similar to the Samsung 49" monitor I'm using now, great for slower FPS games like Doom, Metro series, Battlefield series, etc. I find it overwhelming for very fast paced FPS like UT3, just too much happening, it was ..... unsettling for me.
I think it's just the pics, mine's also 1800R curvature and it doesn't strike me as being particularly aggressive.
Main reason for me getting it was that racing games would look pretty good with the 32:9 aspect ratio. Even bought a Logitech G29 steering wheel and pedals to go with it, definitely way more fun than using the KB, used my spare Samsung soundbar to complete the ensemble....below is a pic of my 49" monitor setup, running Strange Brigade benchmark.
just my 2 cents... Who would pay this much for half a screen...? (that is how i look at this type of monitor) why not buy a 16:9 4k TV with the same horizontal width measurement (result = same amount horizontal pixels, double the amount of vertical pixels) samsungs NU8000 as an example (it can also run at 1440p@120fps AND 1080P@120FPS AND 2160p@60fps if needed due to firmware updates but remember only for the 55 inch and bigger sizes) (you could always force a 32:9 resolution if really needed on most of the 4k tv's. doing this will result in 2 black borders above and below the picture) I myself am currently using a rather cheap 60hz 4k 43" TV on my main rig so i cannot understand the need for thes 32:9 monitors personally... i'm contemplating on buying a samsung 55 inch NU8000 myself in the very near future... for reference a UE55NU8000 costs about 765 euro in belgium
