AOC AG493UCX Monitor Review
A more comprehensive look at the behemoth that is AOC's AG493UCX gaming monitor - a 49inch super ultrawide that ticks a lot of the right boxes.
The massive curved (1800R) AG493UCX brings a DQHD (Dual QHD) screen resolution to the table – effectively two 27″ 2560 x 1440 monitors stuck together. That not only gives you an absolute tonne of desk real-estate but also offers a significant uplift in picture quality over 1080p alternatives. A VA panel sits at the heart of this monitor, equipped with VRR support for both Nvidia and FreeSync, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms MPRT – making it a superb option for single-player and competitive titles.
Offering up a wide color gamut – said to be in the region of 90% DCI-P3 – alongside a 3000:1 contrast ratio and 550 nits of brightness – this monitor seems to tick all the right boxes.
