Review on ASUS XG49VQ Curved Gaming Monitor with FreeSync: πŸ–₯️ 3840X1080P, 144Hz, Height Adjustment, Blue Light Filter and HDMI Support by Adam Maciel

Looks like a billion dollars

I have a 2080ti, I upgraded a triple 1080 monitor setup where I wanted to position this as a "curve" in between. To be honest, the field of view is so wide that I have to physically rotate my head to focus on the other two monitors. I don't really need them anymore, but it all looks so great together. In terms of performance, I was able to run Gsync and my games look/play great at full resolution with HDR and Vsync enabled. I mainly play Warframe and was completely stumped the entire time. For the price I can't believe the performance. My desk looks like I have a $10,000 rig. When people come up, they suffocate. My complaints are as follows: Text looks crisp in HDR mode. I enable HDR in games but not in Windows. I don't know if it's the driver or something. If anyone has a solution for this, please let me know. And the controller is generally worthless and unpredictable. Once you install it, you won't want to touch it again. There are two extra buttons next to the joystick, making it almost bearable, but that's not LG's control scheme. I ended up buying a third-party VESA swivel stand, which freed up all the space under the monitor for my headphone amp. The monitor is heavy, but not too heavy. I'm impressed that it only needed a small power adapter, USB 3 and a DP cable to power it. I thought I'd have to hook up some HDMI cables to it, but no! Overall, this is the best monitor I've had and completely eclipses my 60Hz 4k LG OLED for gaming. The color isn't as saturated, but for the price, it's a steal. I would buy two more but they will stick out the sides of my desk.
