Asus ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD review

The Asus ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD set up on a gaming desk.

The promise of vibrant worlds strewn across a 49-inch ultrawide OLED is what a PC gamer's dreams are made of. The Asus ROG Swift OLED PG49WCD makes good on that promise. It's a mammoth monitor capable of enveloping your entire vision with whatever game you choose to play on it (providing it supports ultrawide resolutions). It's absolutely glorious. For gaming, at least.

If you think the PG49WCD with its 5120 x 1440 resolution panel is huge, you should see the box it came in. It's a monument to this monitor's absurd breadth. The monitor's 49-inch QD-OLED panel is snugly fit inside alongside a three-legged monitor stand, a couple of cables, and a VESA mount kit. The screen itself isn't quite as thin as some QD-OLED TVs out of Samsung, which makes this monitor easier to set up without damaging the panel. That said, I would recommend two people tackle putting this together, considering the price.
