Gigabyte Aorus CO49DQ: Extra-wide OLED gaming monitor has a response time of 0.03 milliseconds and supports FreeSync Premium Pro

The Aorus CO49DQ from Gigabyte is a new, extra-wide and curved monitor based on OLED technology. It can basically replace two screens in 16:9 format and a screen diagonal of 27 inches. The positive thing about using just one monitor is that there are no screen edges and the curvature should also allow for better ergonomics. The curvature radius is 1800 millimeters. The display of two image sources is supported by Picture-by-Picture and Picture-in-Picture simultaneously.

The screen diagonal is specified as 49 inches with a resolution of 5120 x 1440. According to Gigabyte, the typical brightness is 250 cd/m², while the contrast ratio stands at 1,500,000:1, meaning that high-contrast content should be very well rendered. The monitor also reportedly fulfills the requirements of the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 standard, and the DCI-P3 color space is covered at 99%.

The response time is just 0.03 milliseconds, which is the gray-to-gray response time. 144 Hz is given as the refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro is supposed to be particularly effective at preventing tearing. Two HDMI 2.1 ports are on board, plus a DisplayPort 1.4 port and also USB Type C. A USB hub with just two USB ports is integrated. Lastly, there are two speakers with an output of five watts each.

Precise details about the release date or pricing of the new and extra-wide gaming monitor are yet to be made known.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
