MSI’s MPG 491CQP sits near the top of its gaming monitor range, taking on Samsung’s 49 inch super ultrawides and LG’s OLED options with a QD OLED panel and a huge dual QHD canvas. It’s aimed at people who want one screen to replace a multi monitor setup, with OLED contrast for games and films and the width for sim racing, strategy titles, or serious multitasking.
Who is this 49 inch ultrawide actually for?
If you like a wraparound view, the 5120 x 1440 resolution gives you two 27 inch 1440p sized workspaces side by side, without a bezel in the middle. QD OLED helps with punchy colour and deep blacks, while MSI’s OLED Care 2.0 is there to reduce burn in risk during long sessions with static HUDs or desktop elements.
DQHD 5120 x 1440: lots of horizontal space for split screen work and wide field of view gaming
QD OLED with 10 bit colour: richer gradients and stronger contrast than typical IPS VA panels
OLED Care 2.0: panel protection features for day to day desktop use
