AOC Agon AG493UCX2 49 Inch DQHD 165Hz VA Panel 121% SRGB 1MS AMD FreeSync Gaming Monitor

The AOC Agon AG493UCX2 is a 49-inch super-ultrawide gaming monitor built for players who demand complete peripheral immersion. Stretched across a 32:9 aspect ratio, the display renders a native resolution of 5120×1440 — Dual QHD (DQHD) — delivering roughly 109 pixels per inch across a canvas that effectively replaces two 27-inch QHD monitors side by side. The 1800R curvature radius bends the screen gently around your field of view, keeping edges equidistant from your eyes and reducing the need to pan your head during extended sessions. Underpinning the image quality is a VA (Vertical Alignment) panel with a static contrast ratio of 3000:1, enabling deeper blacks than IPS alternatives at this price tier. The panel carries VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, with a peak brightness of 400 cd/m² that adds perceptible depth to HDR-enabled game titles and films. Wide viewing angles of 178°/178° ensure consistent colour reproduction even at the extreme left and right edges of such a wide display. For competitive gaming, the AG493UCX2 drives a 165Hz refresh rate — well above the 60Hz standard — while AMD FreeSync Premium synchronises the panel's refresh to your GPU's frame output, eliminating screen tearing without introducing stutter. The quoted 1ms response time (MPRT) and a 4ms GtG grey-to-grey response minimise motion blur during fast-paced action. Six built-in game presets (RTS, FPS, Racing, Gamer 1, Gamer 2, Off) let you optimise colour and shadow settings per genre, and AOC Shadow Control lets you selectively brighten dark in-game areas without overexposing lit zones. Connectivity is comprehensive: USB-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode and USB Power Delivery allows a single-cable connection to compatible laptops for video plus charging simultaneously. A built-in KVM switch lets one keyboard, mouse, and monitor control multiple computers. Dual 5W speakers are integrated into the cabinet. Ergonomically, the stand supports 100mm height adjustment, ±15.5° swivel, and tilt between 3.5° and 13.5°, with no pivot. VESA 100×100 wall-mount compatibility is supported. An included AOC remote control and G-menu OSD software round out the usability package. The display also accommodates next-generation consoles: PS5 at 1920×1080@120Hz and Xbox Series X/S at 2560×1440@120Hz via the HDMI inputs. — Verified Specifications — Screen size: 49 inches | Panel type: VA | Resolution: 5120×1440 (DQHD) | Aspect ratio: 32:9 | Curvature: 1800R | Refresh rate: 165Hz | Response time: 1ms MPRT / 4ms GtG | Brightness: 400 cd/m² | Static contrast: 3000:1 | HDR: VESA DisplayHDR 400 | Colour gamut: 121% sRGB | Viewing angles: 178°/178° | Pixel pitch: 0.2331mm | PPI: 109 | Backlight: WLED | Panel treatment: Anti-glare | Sync technology: AMD FreeSync Premium | Speakers: 5W × 2 | Height adjust: 100mm | Swivel: ±15.5° | Tilt: 3.5°–13.5° | VESA mount: 100×100mm | Warranty: 3 years
