Something to look forward to:<\/strong> MSI teased its upcoming super-ultrawide gaming monitor aimed at enthusiasts on Twitter. Details around “Project 491C” are scarce at the moment, with the company only confirming that it will feature a QD-OLED screen with a 240Hz max refresh rate. <\/p>\n

MSI’s monitor will have a 32:9 aspect ratio and, judging by its name, will measure 49 inches diagonally. This would make it have the same form factor as two 27-inch 16:9 panels placed side by side, with the benefit of not having bezels down the middle.<\/p>\n

Samsung Display will manufacture the panel, making it the company’s fourth QD-OLED screen size after the 55-inch and 65-inch TV panels and the 34-inch ultrawide panel found in the excellent Alienware AW3423DW<\/a>.<\/p>\n

MSI’s monitor will also be curved, although the company didn’t mention how aggressive the curvature will be…<\/p>\n

The world’s FIRST super ultra-wide curved gaming monitor, with a 240Hz QD-OLED panel, is out there to ensure you enjoy a viewing experience far better than anything you’ve had before.

When it comes to the resolution of the Project 491C, there are a few possibilities. It could be limited to just 3,840 x 1,080, but that’s highly unlikely, considering the high-end nature of QD-OLED displays at the moment.<\/p>\n

It’s also possible it will have a resolution of 5,120 x 1,440, just like some of Samsung’s latest super-ultrawide VA panels<\/a> of the same size. Lastly, the most exciting option: this could be one of the “8K ultrawide” monitors with DisplayPort 2.1 support AMD talked about<\/a> at its RDNA 3 reveal livestream, giving it a 7,680 x 2,160 resolution.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, the MSI Project 491C will likely end up being a fantastic gaming monitor due to having the highest refresh rate on a QD-OLED panel yet. Expect to hear more details about it, including pricing and availability at CES in January.<\/p>\n

In related news, LG has finally listed<\/a> the UltraGear 45GR95QE<\/a> OLED monitor on its website. For a quick refresher (pun intended), the upcoming 45-inch ultrawide screen features a 3,440 x 1,440 resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n

We have learned that LG will open pre-orders for the monitor on December 12, slated to start shipping on December 28. However, it won’t come cheap, with LG’s site quoting a $1,700 price tag in the US.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
