It's no wonder AUO didn't reveal the actual resolution of its new 49-inch 5K panel in its press release yesterday, as this is a typical 5120 x 1440 panel when it comes to the resolution. Yes, it's capable of 360 Hz, which is higher than the competition which is currently at 240 Hz. AUO has also managed to crank up the backlight to 600 nits in HDR mode, although this is still a typical backlight and not some kind of FALD implementation.

The panel itself is based on AUO's PSA, which is a VA type of panel. It has a contrast ratio of 5000:1 and covers 95 percent of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. AUO claims that the panel has a 1 ms grey to grey response time with overdrive enabled. As per yesterday's press release, the panel has a 1000R curvature, which means it's very curved, as you can see in the pictures below. We don't know who AUO's customers for the panel are, but we'll hopefully see some indications at Computex next month.

I could opt for 21:9, anything wider loses too much of vertical view*.

* without proper ultrawide support

why is the screen so badly shaded at the sides? Is that drop off at shallow angles? It must be one of the worst screens I've ever seen.

It's also a bit cheeky to call it a 5K screen when a true 5k monitor has a 5120x2880 resolution, so therefore this AUO is only HALF a 5K screen. Perhaps it should be called "half a 5K screen", since it is basically a 5K screen with HALF of the y chopped off. Or 5K letterbox. They could call it a 2.5K.

I'm currently running a LG dualup 2560x2880 screen. It is also HALF 5K. Would we allow that to be called a 5K screen? No.

It's very curved with weird lighting on the show floor, so don't judge it based on the pictures.

They seem to refer to the actual resolution as DQHD. Or Dairy Queen Hot Double...

this image make my CRAZY!!! There's no official support for Elden Ring that stop at 16:9 compatibility, You have to use esternal software to make it work and you have to disable online features.
They use a game that do not support ultrawide resolutions for a big ultrawide monitor.
Shame on them both AUO and FromSoftware

Thanks for all articles about new displays.
I am quite disappointed with all new monitors.
I cannot any breakthrough in quality and features.

- 32 inch 4K high refresh displays need DolbyVision - TVs for 1,000 have it
- ultrawide monitors do not evolve into any interesting direction

Where are better quality monitors with higher PPI and decent package of HDR codecs?
