The last time we took a look at a monitor from Gigabyte it was their AORUS FO27Q3, which was very much gaming focused with its 360 Hz refresh rate. Today we are going to be taking a look at another QD-OLED panel from Gigabyte, but this model is more of an all-around monitor that is going to be great for gaming, but also productivity. The AORUS CO49DQ is a 49-inch super-ultrawide display that makes use of a QD-OLED panel with a Dual QHD (5120 x 1440) resolution, 144 Hz refresh rate, 0.03 ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time, a DisplayHDR True Black 400 rating, built-in KVM, and of course Gigabyte’s OLED care to avoid burn-in and keep the panel just like the day you got it. This review is going to be a bit different as I’ve been using this panel as my daily driver for about a month now. So it is going to be very productivity-focused, but of course I will be gaming on the monitor as well! Let’s jump in!
Special thanks to Gigabyte for providing us with the AORUS CO49DQ 49-Inch QD-OLED Gaming Monitor to review.
Packaging of the Gigabyte AORUS CO49DQ
The AORUS CO49DQ comes in a very nice retail box that is pretty massive! It has a picture of the display on the font and it lets us know the resolution and screen size. On the back it does let us know this is the correct side to open the box from.
Opening the box up we find everything nicely packed. Besides the stand you’ll get an HDMI cable, DisplayPort cable, USB cable, power cable, and a user’s guide.
