Is the era of gaming on a super-wide 49-inch monitor upon us? Not as far as we're concerned, but that hasn't stopped companies from releasing these expansive displays. Asus is the latest to jump on board with its new ROG Swift XG49VQ, a 49-inch monitor with a "double Full HD" resolution (3840x1080).

This is the second 49-inch monitor announcement this month. Dell trotted out its equally wide UltraSharp 49 a couple of weeks ago, though unlike Samsung's CHG90 that came before it, Dell's monitor wasn't built for gaming. Instead, it made headlines for being the first dual QHD monitor, which translates to a 5120x1440 resolution. Philips also previously announced a 49-inch monitor with 5120x1440 resolution, but it's still not available.
