I can multi-task with this monitor -- using it as two separate 27 monitors, or by using multiple windows. Windowed gaming is very easy, with more than enough space for OBX controls, and chat, on either side of the Gaming window (center).

However, we recommend the LG 49WQ95C instead if you can find it at a good price. It offers better image quality, performance, features and value for the price. Specifications Screen Size In the Standard Eco mode with Game Mode turned off, we engaged the User color temp and made slight changes to the RGB sliders. Gamma was left on the first preset, which is a tad dark at an average value of 2.3. The other two options washed out the picture, so we avoided them. Colour saturation and coverage aren’t quite at the heady heights of AOC’s AGON PRO range, but just a few years ago these would be premium display levels. You get full sRGB coverage and reasonable DCI-P3 coverage which gives good colour in HDR content. AdobeRGB coverage could be higher, but the AG493UCX2 is primarily a gaming monitor, so this isn’t a concern. Looking for a super-ultrawide monitor that’s great for both gaming and productivity work? You’re going to love the AOC Agon AG493UCX2! Image Quality The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe.Of course, you can get a much better HDR gaming monitor at this price range, but the AOC AG493UCX2 focuses on other things. To use KVM on more than one device, you’ll need to use USB-C on one device and the USB upstream on the other. Without a USB-C connection, you’ll need to swap the upstream cable between PCs.

Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. The 49” AGON AG493QCX is similar to its sibling, offering a Full HD-based experience instead of the QHD on the AG493UCX2. In a fully featured sim setup with a reasonable distance from the monitor, the AG493QCX delivers a great immersion experience, and unlike its QHD sibling, the lower resolution is less taxing on the GPU, bringing the total system cost down.I had considered the Samsung G9 but for that price and the fact that I like play with setting turned up I knew I would never get close to that frame rate and have no interest in spending thousands to trying to game at 240 fps using ridiculously high settings. If it were really into first person shooters I might feel differently. Major forces are joining in the world, with heroes carrying the AGON banner. Heroes in the real PC gaming scene are the hard-core, competitive gamers as well as streamers/content creators. They combine their individual talents and teamwork to get to the top of the competition and showcase what one can accomplish with the right equipment. For these heroes, the AGON (“competition”/”contest” in Ancient Greek) series is surely the fitting companion they need. I bought this primarily for playing racing and flight sims primarily wanting something with a wider field of view than my 32 inch 4k monitor. So far I love the monitor, setup was simple enough, works great with both my windows PC and my M1 MacBook pro. The MacBook will only allow me to set the correct resolution 5120 X 1440 through the display port on my doc, it doesn’t work correctly via thunderbolt which isn’t a huge deal but the KVM switch only works between my windows pc and Mac via the thunderbird bolt port so I’ll be trying to work around that little issue. Most monitors have a specific target audience, but the AG493UCX2 is more niche than most, as not only do you need a capable GPU (RTX 3070 or better, ideally), but you also need a desire to play ultrawide games or to have a use for the extended screen real estate. If this describes you, the AG493UCX2 is a compelling option, and it’s reasonably priced for what it is. Overall, what most people are saying seems to hold true. The monitor is VERY nice to look at and use, with a few hiccups and humps to work over.
