    So, you just got the fastest, most high-performance PC you’ve ever owned. Now you want to harness all of that impressive video horsepower. This is the monitor for you. Features: - Too many to list all of them here, but these are the key ones: - 49-inch Dual QHD (5129x1440) curved (1000R) monitor - Ultra-wide 32:9 aspect ratio - Picture-in-Picture (PiP) and Picture-by-Picture (PbP) allow the monitor to show content from two separate input sources in various positions and sizes. - Advanced Gaming Features like: Dynamic Action Sync, Black Stabilizer, Crosshair, and Frames per Second Display - Aspect ratio 32:9 - Resolution up to 5120 x 1440 PROS: - This monitor will display the highest outputs from the most powerful gaming computers today. - The included stand is perfectly balanced to the size and weight of the display to allow effortless adjustments up-down, tilt, and side-to-side angles. - The performance gives a competitive edge in game-play that requires extremely fast reflexive movements. - A beautiful/stylish addition to any Gaming Set-up - Comes with all of the cables required for the numerous inputs and outputs. CONS: (Because, with Power comes Compromise) - Heavy weight (32.5 lbs. with Stand), means you need a sturdy table to support it and a strong back to move it. - The very useful stand and the extreme curvature means that this monitor needs more room than most. The front-middle of the screen sits 9.75 inches from the wall behind it. The front of the curved outside edges are 15 inches from the wall. Top corner to top corner, the screen is 47 inches wide. To prevent my neck from getting sore from too much swiveling from side to side (to catch all of the action), the front of my head is 4 feet from the back wall. Make sure you can move your chair back far enough from the wall in front of you. - The speed and surface area of this screen takes a lot of power to drive it. 90 watts typical, up to 250 watts max. - No built-in speakers. A female jack for headphones or speakers is under the front edge. - The joy-stick like control to access and change feature settings is under the front edge. It’s out of sight, making it hard to find and awkward to use. - The screen is not as bright or color saturated as I would like in a bright room. Conclusion: This monitor is designed for gaming performance with little or no compromises for more common use. If you just view YouTube or cruise the internet, it is unnecessarily big, heavy and expensive. But, if you’re a serious gamer or graphics user, then this one deserves your serious consideration.

    I have trouble finding the monitor that satisfies most, if not every condition I wish for. But I decided to invest in this one during the holidays and as of now have really enjoyed this one. Dual monitors setup are great but an ultrawide like this is amazing to behold, while also staying practical.

    Great value after the price drop. Replaced a gaming monitor and ultrawide with this. So, much better ergonimics wise, and the 240hz is AMAZING. You need to get a solid GPU to drive it because you really notice when you're not getting 240 fps.

    This monitor is actually really good, let me tell you why. Hardware is well made, and appears to be solid in it's construction. It has nice LED gaming lights you can adjust via the little nob on the bottom center of the screen, so just push it and you are off. The setting are hidden away in this same area where you can make adjustments to the entire monitor. I played with the settings a little, to get a feel for them. It came by default pretty much the way I like to view my screens, you will need to make it your own as well. The quality of the screen, size, weight, and angles. This is a BIG monitor, but you knew that before buying it. It's heavy, but has a STRONG stand in the box. The stand base is the problem for me though, it's a little too big for a monitor base. The legs stick out way too far forward, and if you don't have a big enough desk this will not work for you. I just happened to have a larger desk, so I could use it with the stand. However, I opt'd not to. Using a monitor arm is the way to go with such a big monitor, at least that's how I feel about it. The quality is simply great. All colors look nice, and the screen can get pretty bright in use. When gaming, the frame rate seemed find to me, and I didn't notice anything like lag or frame drops while playing. All in all, it's a nice monitor, but for the price...I'd like it a little thinner, as the back portion is HUGE, and it does not support Type C.

    I have been using the LG Ultragear 49" curved duel qhd freesync monitor with hdr for a few days now and I am absolutely blown away by its performance. This monitor is a beast, with a stunning 5120 x 1440 resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 1 ms response time. The picture quality is amazing, with vivid colors, deep blacks, and sharp details. The hdr mode makes everything pop even more, especially in games and movies. The curved design gives you an immersive and panoramic view of your content, and the freesync technology eliminates screen tearing and stuttering. The monitor also has plenty of ports, a sleek stand, and an ergonomic design. It is easy to set up and adjust to your preferences. The only downside is that you need a powerful PC to run this monitor at its full potential, but that's to be expected with such a high-end product. If you are looking for the ultimate gaming and productivity monitor, look no further than the LG Ultragear 49" curved duel qhd freesync monitor with hdr. It will Blow your mind and Worth it.

    The screen sounds great, but in reality, there is a terrible amount of colors that have horizontal lines going through them. Unless they fix this, I can not recommend it.
