LG Electronics has recently launched its latest UltraGear gaming monitor, the 49GR85DC, which boasts an impressive 49-inch curved display with a 32:9 aspect ratio and a 240Hz refresh rate.
According to the company, this new monitor delivers silky-smooth gameplay and top-notch picture quality that gamers seek, making gaming experiences more immersive. However, the 49GR85DC is also suitable for productivity or viewing content, thanks to its advanced multitasking functionality and extra-wide screen.
The 49-inch Dual QHD (5,120 x 1,440) resolution panel with a 1000R curvature provides sharp, vibrant images that fill the user’s field of vision. The 240Hz refresh rate helps create an expansive and more responsive game environment, making games feel more real and dynamic.
The monitor also has a 3000:1 contrast ratio and a 1000-nit peak brightness, producing vivid colors and deep, nuanced blacks. With its three-sided, virtually borderless design, the monitor enables users to stay focused as they battle their opponents or explore their favorite virtual worlds.
The 49GR85DC offers an array of multitasking features that let users take full advantage of its elongated 32:9 aspect ratio screen. The new UltraGear supports Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP) modes.
PIP mode lets users display content from a second connected device in a floating window, while PBP mode allows them to work with multiple open windows at the same time by conveniently dividing the screen into two discrete sections.
The new monitor provides connectivity via DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1, both of which let users enjoy smooth gaming at 240Hz in Dual QHD resolution. Additionally, the curved UltraGear enhances the gaming experience with its LED Hexagon backlighting and support for DTS Headphone:X, an advanced audio solution that provides outstanding three-dimensional sound via wired headphones.
The 49GR85DC is now available in the U.S. and will be launched in key markets throughout Europe this month and in Asia later this year.
Seo Young-jae, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company, said, “Designed for gaming, but equally suited to multitasking, the new LG UltraGear is a versatile, premium display solution that shows our commitment and ability to satisfy the diverse needs of today’s consumers.”
