Gigabyte has recently launched the AORUS CO49DQ gaming monitor, which features a 49-inch QD-OLED ultra-wide curved screen with DQHD 5120 x 1440 resolution and 1800R curvature. It supports 144Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time. (GtG) and game “tactical features”.
Key Details
In addition to gaming capabilities, AORUS CO49DQ is also suitable for multitasking and content creation. Productivity use cases mentioned by Gigabyte include movie editing and music editing.
For some tasks, a monitor requires good color specifications, and this QD-OLED screen features 10-bit color depth, 99% DCI-P3 color gamut, and is VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified. In addition, it incorporates a glare-free design, supports multi-tasking, and provides picture-in-picture (PiP) and picture-by-picture (PbP) modes.
The word “AI” is very popular recently, and Gigabyte claims that the Aorus CO49DQ supports the “OLED Care” function, which can minimize the risk of screen burn-in through OLED protection technology based on artificial intelligence algorithms. But there are currently no third-party test results, and it remains to be seen how effective it will be.
Aorus CO49DQ has a rich interface configuration, including two HDMI 2.1 interfaces, a DisplayPort 1.4 interface, a full-featured USB Type-C interface (supports DP-Alt mode and provides 18W reverse power supply) and an audio jack, which also provides KVM function and hub function, and is equipped with two USB 3.2 Type-A interfaces to facilitate users to expand peripherals. Additionally, the monitor comes with two 5W speakers.
In terms of ergonomics, the monitor supports swivel and tilt adjustments, but not height adjustment. Since the monitor offers 100 x 100 VESA mounting holes, there is the option of using a third-party arm or desktop stand. Additionally, the monitor has a built-in power supply and is rated for a maximum power consumption of 72 watts.
A large number of 49-inch QD-OLED displays are expected to appear in 2024, with a resolution of DQHD 5120 x 1440, a refresh rate of 144Hz, and a curvature of 1800R. The AORUS CO49DQ, MSI MPG 491CQP and RedMagic Realm all seem to use the same Samsung panel, and more products may appear in the future.
