Asus shows the XG49VQ Super Wide 49-inch gaming monitor with HDR
Asus has been showing the XG49VQ gaming monitor. As derived from the model, this is a screen with a 49 inches (124.46 cm) diagonal. The monitor will be a RoG Strix product loaded with multiple gaming-related functions.
The curved panel is setup in a 32:9 ratio gets a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz. The resolution of the screen is 3840 x 1080 pixels, and it has received FreeSync 2 certification and Vesa's DisplayHDR 400 certification. The XG49VQ covers 125 percent of the sRGB color space.
The monitor's ultra-high 144Hz maximum refresh rate should please many gamers. ASUS' Shadow Boost technology should also allow gamers to see players in darker areas of competitive first-person shooters more easily. "It's not cheating, just good design," said the company's gaming rep.
-- ASUS -- ROG Strix XG49VQ is a 49-inch 1800R curved HDR gaming monitor featuring Double Full HD (3840 x 1080) resolution, a 32:9 aspect ratio and a 144Hz refresh rate for super-smooth gaming visuals. With high dynamic range (HDR) capability and 125% sRGB color gamut coverage, XG49VQ delivers lifelike contrast and color with bright whites and dark blacks, which meet VESA DisplayHDR400 certification. Adaptive-Sync (Radeon FreeSync 2 HDR) technology provides a greater dynamic refresh rate range, low latency and better brightness and contrast for smooth, breathtaking visuals when gaming or watching videos. ASUS Shadow Boost technology brightens and enhances details in dark areas without overexposing bright areas for balanced images that appear true to life. XG49VQ also includes DisplayWidget, an intuitive software utility to let users tweak settings or display properties with ASUS Shadow Boost, GameVisual, App Sync™, and blue light filter settings to provide the best image quality for specific scenarios such as gaming, watching movies or content creation.
No details have been shared about the availability of the XG49VQ or its price.

It's catering for people that want 3 monitor experience with no bezels.
Other then gaming, I can't imagine more use case scenarios for this.

3840x1080 is ideal to me, sure it's half the res of 4K, but it'd be so much easier on the GPU, you can prolly max out all video setting for any game and still get pretty good framerate.....with a top end card that is. I also like that it's a Freesync monitor, none of that inflated Gsync nonsense. I was actually surprised that it doesn't specify Gsync what with being an ROG designated monitor.

They're not meant for everyday desktop PC usage but for dedicated racing & flight sim rigs in your 'man cave'.

This tickles the tech of my brain, but...its 1080 vertical is really low, the DPI on that would be eye-straining in 2019
