The AOC Agon AG493UCX provides the same 49-inch ultrawide experience with a 1440p picture and 120Hz refresh rate as the Samsung CRG9 at a fraction of the cost. It's a boon for gamers on a budget looking to upgrade their rig to ultrawide immersion...
The AOC AG493UCX is a well-rounded gaming display even if it has a few shortcomings in its imaging capabilities such as gamut coverage. However, the 5K2K screen with decent accuracy out of box is still mighty enjoyable, especially when playing immersive t...

High resolution, HDR and DCI-P3 color, Accurate image, Good contrast,
Lack of selective dimming limits HDR contrast potential, Minimum brightness setting only goes down to 120 nits, Curve can make horizontal lines (like in spreadsheets) look slightly distorted
Though it doesn't render HDR as well as some more expensive monitors, the AOC Agon AG493UCX delivers everything else necessary for a killer gaming experience. FreeSync and 120Hz unite with excellent contrast and tremendous width to bring players deep into...

Strong image quality, Up to 530 nits brightness, 32:9 gaming is quite an experience, One of the cheaper 5120×1440 screens going, Plenty of display inputs,
DisplayHDR 400 is disappointing, Some panel uniformity issues,
Having never used a 32:9 screen before now, I really wasn't sure whether or not I'd enjoy using the AOC AGON AG493UCX. After a couple of weeks of use however, I can safely say it offers an excellent all-round experience.For starters, the panel quality is...
The right games look amazing at 32:9, FreeSync and G-Sync Compatible at 120Hz, Dual-QHD resolution great for productivity, Integrated KVM bodes well for PbP, Decent speakers and good connectivity, Bundled remote control
GUI not the most intuitive, Basic HDR credentials, 32:9 game support remains sketchy
The AOC Agon AG493UCX is an intriguing choice for those users seeking to scale their PC experience to an eye-opening 32:9 format.Opting not to focus exclusively on gaming, the 49in mega-wide display shuns ultra-fast refresh rates and lavish HDR certif...
Great for racing and simulations, Includes remote control, 5K resolution
Difficult to setup, Not suitable for all titles, Needs a decent GPU
