Hot damn! We’re finally seeing some great deals on OLED monitors. Getting a standard LCD display in a 49-inch, super-mega-ultrawide format at $900 would already be a decent deal, but this is an OLED gaming monitor from Gigabyte. It’s $200 off the initial price, the best price we’ve seen yet for an OLED this large.
The Aorus CO49DQ features a massive resolution of 5120×1440—that’s basically two QHD panels smooshed together with a slight 1800R curve—with a 144Hz refresh rate. That’s not the fastest around, but it’s about as much as you’ll need for any gaming PC that’s pushing this many pixels in any sort of taxing game.
But this monitor is more than just a pretty face. In addition to certification for AMD FreeSync and VESA HDR True Black 400, you get DisplayPort 1.4, double HDMI 2.1, and USB-C video support.
At 18 watts, it’s not going to power a gaming laptop alone, but two extra USB-A ports should be good for a few extra goodies. Plus, there’s a one-button switch to hop between USB-C and regular video inputs.
And yes, it has those 5-watt speakers that manufacturers keep putting into monitors (which you absolutely should not use). The display supports standard VESA mounting, though you’ll probably need an extra-sturdy monitor arm if you don’t want to use the included stand.
Looking for a gorgeous way to show off your gaming PC’s prowess at an incredible bargain price? Head over to Amazon and snag this Gigabyte 49-inch monster for $200 off!
