ASUS VG49V

ASUS VG49V is an impressive 49-inch Dual Full HD gaming monitor. The monitor’s VA panel stretches a super-ultra-wide 32:9 aspect ratio over an 1800R curve that brings the far edges closer for a more immersive experience. The 3840 x 1080 resolution is exactly twice as wide as 1080p, which is why it’s dubbed Double Full HD or DFHD. Users get double the horizontal space of a Full HD monitor, which is tons of width to expand games deep into their periphery and view multiple open windows and tabs.
