Know before you buy
The monitor features a 3840x1080 resolution, which is essentially two Full HD 1920x1080 displays placed side-by-side. This provides a wide, panoramic workspace without the vertical height of a 4K panel.
While the monitor is optimized for Radeon FreeSync 2 HDR, it is compatible with most modern graphics cards. However, for the best tear-free experience, it is highly recommended to use an AMD GPU.
The monitor is 49 inches wide, so you will need a substantial desk surface to accommodate the unit and its stand. It weighs approximately 21.4 pounds, so ensure your desk is sturdy enough to support the weight and the footprint of the base.
The included stand offers tilt adjustability, but it does not support height adjustment. If you need to raise the monitor to eye level, you may want to consider using a VESA-compatible monitor arm.
With 90% DCI-P3 color coverage and DisplayHDR 400 certification, it offers excellent color accuracy for gaming and general media consumption. While it is great for creative tasks, professional-grade color grading may still require a dedicated, higher-resolution reference monitor.
The 1800R curve is designed to match the natural curvature of the human eye. On a screen this wide, it helps keep the edges of the display within your peripheral vision, reducing eye strain and increasing immersion during gaming.
