MSI - MPG 491CQP QD-OLED 49" 5120x1440 (DQHD) Curved OLED Quantum Dot Monitor 144Hz 0.03ms(GTG) HDR400 Type-C DisplayPort HDMI - Black

I’ve been using this ultrawide monitor for a few months now, and it has completely transformed my workspace. The wide curved display gives me the perfect balance between productivity and immersion. I can comfortably run multiple windows side by side—video calls, editing software, and browser tabs—without ever feeling cramped. The picture quality is crisp, colors are vibrant, and the refresh rate keeps everything smooth, whether I’m working or gaming. The curve makes a real difference too—it pulls me right into the screen without straining my eyes during long sessions. Build quality feels solid, and setup was super easy. I’ve paired it with a dual monitor setup (as you can see in my photo), and it integrates perfectly. No issues with connectivity—HDMI and DisplayPort both work flawlessly. If you spend long hours at your desk, whether for work or play, this monitor is a game changer. It’s one of those upgrades you don’t realize you needed until you have it. Highly recommend!

I was worried about getting an ultrawide, especially a 49" one but I had a friend who recommended it. I was very excited at the prospect of a QD-OLED and thought I'd give it a go. I will never be able to game on anything but a huge ultrawide monitor ever again, its level of immersion can not be matched by a regular monitor. The Panel is gorgeous and the HDR content in games is absolutely incredible, I've been setting to 1,000 HDR for maximum brightness but even the true black 400 HDR looks stunning. I strongly recommend this monitor for anyone who has the space.

I was in the market for an ultrawide monitor for a longtime, and did purchase with another brand. However, due to some QC problems, had to return and began my hunt again. I had (and still currently do, top 2 monitors in photo) MSI monitors before and they have never let me down in terms of quality and durability (survived 3 moves and a little knocking around, they're still going flawlessly), so when I heard MSI was releasing a new lineup with a 49", I was already sold, it was just a matter of getting one when it was available. I was going to buy two (essentially replace out my top monitors), but after my first set from a different brand ruining that experience, I held off. Currently beating myself up for not now after unboxing this and getting it plugged in. For the price, alone, I am blown away from picture quality. I think it's comparable with its competitors, but has the edge given the base pricing (not to mention more dedicated experience in the gaming space versus others). It does have an automatic pixel refresh (since OLED) and I have it set to where when the monitor goes into standby or shuts down is when it will do the refresh automatically; it is initially set for every 4 hours of use up to 16 hours. If I had to given any major critiques, it would be the outer packaging; everything inside was packaged great for the most part; the screen, itself, did not have a plastic protector on the front of it like the other set I had purchased (but seeing that as a MSI standard as my previous ones arrived the same way), but everything worked as should. Outside packaging, the box looked discolored, more pink than red as if it sat in sunlight. Although I cannot attest this is how packaging was purposefully made, made me curious why that transition. One corner of the box was pushed in, but the monitor was encased with styrofoam so zero damage to the monitor at all (this was, likely, out of distributors control and more so deliverer). As of now, we're sitting at a 5/5 for rating solely for the base pricing, this gives this monitor some edge for those wanting to upgrade into the ultrawide monitors as well as OLED. Only time will truly tell how well this monitor will hold up!

This monitor is a game-changer in the world of display technology. From the moment I powered it on, I was captivated by its vibrant colors, deep blacks, and razor-sharp contrasts. Each pixel seemed to come alive, rendering every image with breathtaking clarity and detail. What truly impressed me was the monitor's superior color accuracy and wide color gamut. Whether I was editing photos, watching movies, or immersing myself in a gaming session, the colors were rendered with precision and fidelity, elevating my viewing experience to new heights. Not only does this OLED monitor excel in image quality, but its lightning-fast response times and smooth motion handling also make it perfect for gaming and multimedia use. The high refresh rates and minimal input lag ensured that every frame was delivered with fluidity and precision, keeping me immersed in the action without any distractions. On top of its outstanding performance, the OLED monitor's sleek and modern design added a touch of sophistication to my workspace. Its thin profile and minimal bezels created an immersive viewing experience, while the adjustable stand allowed me to find the perfect ergonomic position for long hours of use. Overall, the OLED computer monitor exceeded my expectations in every way, setting a new standard for display excellence. It's not just a monitor – it's a window to a world of unparalleled visual experiences.

Just picked up this new 49" QD-OLED monitor. Got this one over the Samsung for the 3 year warranty, built in KVM, and a better monitor control UI. Really happy with my purchase so far. The colors are awesome! The 32:9 aspect ratio takes a bit to get use to but once you do it would be hard to go back to 16:9. Some games have issues at this aspect ratio so do your research. You can see just how big this monitor is when you compare it to the 34" 21:9 that I have mounted above.
