ASUS XG49VQ Curved Gaming Monitor with FreeSync: 🖥️ 3840X1080P, 144Hz, Height Adjustment, Blue Light Filter and HDMI Support Review

As simple as it is, this monitor is amazing and I push it to the limit with fast action and games that play at really high refresh rates like racing games and ArmA 3. Some of the previous reviews are just product snobs on fit and finish. To be honest, when I'm playing a game I don't care what the plastic is and I won't pay more than $4-500 for a Samsung product that just has the best looks. Without a doubt the Samsung CH-90 is a good monitor, but when the lights are off and I'm racing I don't…

As an avid ASUS fan, it pains me to write this review, but the ASUS ROG Strix XG49VQ is (at best) a mediocre product in a sea of other high-end gaming monitors, peripherals, and devices from ASUS. Republic of Gamers trademark. While my monitor didn't have the discernible physical flaws that other reviewers have reported, I did notice a few key issues that are worth noting: 1. This monitor is technically an HDR display, but it's on the low end of the clinical definition of HDR, and this falls on

Good. it is big. I had to rearrange my whole desk to use this thing. But man, I don't regret it! The picture quality in these games is AMAZING! The packaging was also amazing and ensured it got to your house safely and ALSO makes it very easy to take it out of the box and put it on the stand. Everything right down to the stand is of amazing quality! It's hard to believe that some games support this screen size, I'm still playing with it a bit, but I'll tell you. Poppies don't look good on it…

I work from home and am tired of looking at two split screens side by side. I ordered this huge monitor and have absolutely ZERO bad things to say about it. The picture is amazing. I just wish it was a little longer top to bottom, but that's really not even a problem for me. I also use this display for gaming and play Call of Duty or Fallout76 on it, it's stunning as it's so huge it looks like it's enveloping you. HDR support and AMD Freesync are just bonuses! 10000% satisfied with this monitor

So I figured a more expensive SAMSUNG monitor would be better quality. I bought it and once I got comfortable with it, it just stopped working. So. I'm starting a warranty process with Samsung and my alternative research led me to this monitor. I love it. It is difficult. I use it with MAC Mini. That works great. for your information. New Apple products have done away with Thunderbolt 2 interfaces and now have USB Type-C. I like my setup.

It took a lot of tweaking to get this monitor to stop the haloing/crowning/haloing or whatever you want to call it or the actual term for what I was experiencing. I had to disable freesync on my AMD card, which seems counterproductive, but that was the main issue I encountered. I would also suggest using Windows to get and set up the HDR Calibration app. Work wise I was struggling to set up different workspaces until I added PowerToys from Windows and it made a huge difference. I figured I…

I almost never write reviews unless something is very bad or really good. I'm not a gamer and I'll never play this at all, so I can't comment on all the extra features or experiences that come with it. I do some programming, creative (no video work) and a lot of email, spreadsheets and office work. I had a shop and had a setup with two 24 inch monitors. These were cheap monitors I bought 4 years ago and one of them died. It was painful to use a monitor, so I started researching. Since I'm not a

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…

So, for us non-gamers, a red dot might appear in the middle of the screen - for gamers, this is a feature. I thought my monitor was broken and wanted to return it. On the right below the edge of the monitor there is a button with three settings. A setting exits game mode and removes the red dot - one simple button. This seller should put it in their notes! The monitor is great - fits in many windows, is crisp, takes multitasking to a whole new level in my work! It also makes viewing someone…

I ordered this and they sent me an old model so I sent it back. The size is impressive and the picture is very good. However, it only achieves 1080p. So instead of ordering a new one, I spent a little more and got myself a Samsung G9. 49 inch, 1440p, 1ms, 240Hz and 1000R curve to match the human eye. Yes, more expensive, but AMAZING! Until I get a new system in a few months it will work with an old GF1070Ti card, so will only run at 120Hz. ...still good enough to be completely different. I…

Great monitor for the price. Less now than when it came out. The video quality on the VA panel is much better than my other Asus Rog Swift PG24Q Gsync TN monitor. The response time and the input lag in between are imperceptible. And yes, Freesync works well with Nvidia gsync. I have an EVGA 1070ti and I'm getting great results at 65-105 fps in all my new HDR games. Other than that, it's a fantastic work monitor. I no longer need to install two 22" dual monitors. Processing and quality are first

I have to say I was hesitant to go that big with my monitor. I also leaned toward Samsung because all my TVs are Samsung and I rate their screens very highly. Ultimately, I chose ASUS because I have all the ROG settings. I'm glad I did! This monitor is well built, looks GREAT, is great for gaming and is well priced. I had no problems with 3840 x 1080 resolution, in fact I think the response times are better when gaming. I actually had to turn the brightness down and turn the brightness down to…

I love this monitor! Great for play and work (use Microsoft Power Toys - Fancy Zones). I was really excited about the PBP setting until the monitor told me I could only use it if it was set to 60fps. This is a big disappointment, but not for me. I wish they had a 1/8" switch to toggle inputs. The buttons on the monitor allow you to quickly change inputs. The software is limited to what it controls on the monitor, if I could change the input via the software with a shortcut that would be great.

This monitor is a monster and beautiful. I don't regret the purchase at all. I give 4 stars for two reasons. The monitor stand needs to be sawn off so that the base snaps around the neck. You could see where the extra material was on the plate that slides into the neck, so it must just be a manufacturing issue. Luckily I had a metal file handy and after about 10 minutes of filing it came together as expected. The second reason is that the parallel screen feature is inconvenient and doesn't work

My husband bought this monitor for me to upgrade my previous dual monitors for remote work. It is wonderful! My son also tested his game on it :) Incredibly handy having one monitor against two, but the graphics and improved ability to maneuver between multiple windows are amazing! We weren't sure about the weight transfer and how easy it was to tip over, but this base was very well constructed. The screen doesn't move at all even when I bump into my desk and raise/lower it. I highly recommend…

The only thing I had an issue with was (as shown in the picture) a metal clip that was attached to the underside of the neck that the support legs attached to. The top was oversized, improperly milled, and left about an inch of movement needed to screw in the legs of the table base. If you look closely you can see where I found it to jam. I tried tampering with the record until I thought it was a manufacturing defect. Results: I thought I would have to grind one side of the plate but ended up…

This is an incredible monitor and I would highly recommend it to anyone who works from home and spends most of their working hours video conferencing with Teams or is stepping up. Unlike two monitors, you can hold video conferences in the spotlight. and then have a window on the right and a window on the left where you can work during the conference. Originally I wanted to buy three separate monitors and use triple monitors, but this was a much better solution.

I bought this 49 inch monitor to replace my 2nd and 3rd monitors and as such it is really great. I installed it on my main 35 inch monitor. It looks a lot better than if I had three monitors and fewer cables. I usually shoot Twitch on one side and anything else I watch or use on the other. I don't use it for gaming. I use it as a second monitor, but I can play on it whenever I want. Gaming on the ultra-wide screen offers a more immersive experience, but the downside to this model is the 3840 x…

that works for me. I'm still getting used to it, but it's a huge improvement over the two screens and iPads I've used before. I highly recommend it. The only reason for the incomplete 5 stars is that the resolution could have been a bit better. Please note that I don't use it for games, but for large amounts of documents.

I bought this monitor to replace 2 32" monitors that were no longer working properly. I bought this monitor for productivity reasons on the recommendation of a colleague. With the Microsoft PowerToys (free software) available for download, I was able to fully power my screen easily adjust to the areas that best suit my needs.The screen is bright, easily adjustable for both height and tilt, and has dual HDMI ports, allowing me to place this single monitor between my Windows and Mac devices can…
