Despite a slower refresh rate than other 21:9 and 32:9 OLEDs, the Asus ROG Swift PG49WCD has everything one could ask for in a gaming and productivity monitor. It delivers a stunning image and replaces two 27-inch 16:9 screens.

Tech Awards 2024 Reader's Choice - Best Gaming Monitor Brand

Once again, ASUS and its gaming sub-brand ROG have been voted as the Best Gaming Monitor Brand by our readers. It’s no surprise though, given how the company has always been one of the leading innovators in this sector. For instance, the ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD is a fantastic 49-inch ultrawide gaming monitor that has a built-in Smart KVM feature – it also earned our Editor’s Choice Best Ultrawide Gaming Monitor award.

But we really like how ASUS has squeezed in a lot of connectivity features into the ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD, including a USB Type-A port on the underside and one facing upwards on the right rear. It’s a stroke of genius, as they are very convenient to reach with the odd cable or USB stick. If you’ve tried contorting your upper body and struggled to reach the back of your monitor to get a charging cable connected, you’ll know what I mean. We are surprised how so many monitor brands have not thought about this.

All-round PC recommendation

The Asus ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD is a first-class representative in the super ultrawide monitor segment and offers an impressive combination of size and picture quality.

Gold Award

We have to admit that OLED is really excellent, and this ASUS monitor is no exception. We have an effective panel for those who like dual-screen set-ups, offering a fluid, artefact-free display. Deep blacks are on point, which is also the case in games thanks to 144Hz and VRR, AMD Freesync and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible.

This is the monitor that makes you set goals in, for example, the business you are engaged in, just so that at the end of it all you will be treated for all the money, and I think I will have a very hard time parting with it.
