For those unsure, this is essentially a pair of 27" WQHD (1440p, 16:9) monitors stuck together. If your priority is something like pixels/$ and basic productivity, then this is a bad value. But if your priority is gaming or other media consumption, then this might be a good purchase.

Community Reviews

This 49 inch Acer Nitro is a super ultrawide built for gaming and media, with enough width to run three windows side by side and still keep them usable. The 5120 by 1440 layout feels like two 27 inch WQHD displays joined together, so it offers lots of horizontal space but only 27 inch 16 by 9 worth of vertical height. The VA panel draws criticism at this price, especially versus IPS or mini LED alternatives, and the extra width does not add much for every game. A solid fit if the ultrawide format is the main appeal.

Common Questions (5)

  • Many 49" super-ultrawides support dual-screen modes such as dual 16:9 or 21:9 plus 11:9, and some models also support picture-by-picture. For this Acer, multi-input support is not confirmed in the comments, so it may not split into three separate inputs.

  • The VA panel is a major drawback at this price, especially if you are sensitive to ghosting. Alternatives such as the MPG 491 CQPX, IPS models, or mini-LED options are cited as better value for a similar size, resolution, and refresh rate.

  • It behaves like two 27" 1440p monitors side by side, so it can fit three usable windows/apps across the screen. The downside is that its pixels-per-dollar is poor for basic productivity compared with smaller or higher-value alternatives.

  • The extra width is mainly useful for immersion and wider field of view, not extra height; the vertical space is still about the same as a 27" 16:9 display. It is most compelling for games that benefit from a very wide aspect ratio rather than for every title.

    zyberwoofJakeS5663

  • Super-ultrawides can work on Macs, and a resolution-unlock trick plus a free app can expose more display modes in MacOS. That makes getting the monitor running on a Mac feasible without major issues.

I got the MSI OLED at Sam's Club which notably has a lower refresh rate (bad) but also a lower pixel response time (good), but generally I love the 49" UW, I can have 3 windows/apps side by side by side and all of them are very useable

Edit: I should also mention on sale it is the same price as this

Another edit: When I see tear free gaming, I think tear as in crying instead of tear as in ripping

Do these ultra wide monitors support split screens?

Like divvying up the space for 3 input sources at the same time? 1/3 Roku input, 1/3 pc desktop, 1/3 laptop input ?

Not that I know of. It would be one thing with software within the OS to split 3 different screens/apps, but not 3 diff inputs

Some do. Can't find details if this one does, but I have an Asus 49 inch ultra wide that does "pbp" which is picture by picture mode.

Historically, yes. About 7 mo ago, Costco had a Samsung 49" 5120x1440 OLED 144Hz for $600.

In Dec 2024, there was a deal on the same monitor for just under $500. It was via the Samsung website, pretty time limited, and required a few hoops to jump through (ID.me discount, Capital One discount, chatting with a rep for extra discount).

I avoid VA monitors like the plague due to ghosting, though maybe it isn't as much of an issue if the monitor is 240 Hz?

I use a Samsung 49" at home that will allow two inputs, both from the same device or different ones. My 45" LG Ultragear I use at the office does the same.

While I don't always run the two-input mode from the same computer, if you present a lot in PowerPoint and want presenter mode to work properly, you need to run two video outputs from the same PC to the single monitor and set it to multi-input mode. Not sure why MS still has such a shitty PowerPoint implementation on Ultrawide Monitors, but they do.
