Gigabyte AORUS AORUS CO49DQ-EK 49" OLED DQHD Curved Gaming Monitor - 5120 x 1440(DQHD), 144Hz, 0.03ms, FreeSync, DisplayHDR 400 True Black, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4

I bought this when it was £879 in the spring sale.It’s the first oled monitor I’ve had and i really like it a lot.Did some calibration from a video on youtube but it wasn’t that involved and bought a vesa certified uhbr20 2m dp cable by Silkland.I have it paired with an Aorus master 5090 and gaming on it is just wonderful but I mean all of these Samsung panels perform well, so I’m not going to dwell on anecdotal ‘inky blacks’ circlejerk or any other buzzphrase, the experience of owning an oled like this is joyous though and worth it if you can spare the premium.Is it worth the price ? No idea (maybe) I got this in the sale but was looking at the 321urx, as of writing the 322urx will probably be touted as best because of the dp 2.1 inclusion.It’s an awesome monitor and the niggles are the stand that is a little encroaching and maybe should’ve had a smaller footprint.The fluff rear lighting is a bit fluffy, just in that it’s not needed.

Originally purchased the Samsung G60SD Oled monitor but was really disappointed with it. I ended up returning the monitor due to latency issues with HDMI and the screen itself.Honestly I’ve had matte coating screens for a long time on monitors and it’s never been an issue but the Samsung matte coating made the purple tint of QD Oled far more prominent.This monitor is superior in every way, better passive cooling solution as it doesn’t get as hot, full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and really good quality joystick for navigating the menu which, destroys Samsungs UI.You do haft to update the firmware to enable pixel cleaning but this monitor is great out of the box, picture presets are good and can be tuned really well and you can also control peak brightness in SDR by adjusting the abl stabilise in the Oled care options.Would recommend this to anyone looking for a good Oled monitor. The only one negative at the time is DSC cannot be disabled.

To anyone on the fence about making the switch to OLED I say do it. This thing is an absolute beauty, build quality feels and looks premium and the colour accuracy out of the box is excellent.I'm coming from a 240hz QLED and this thing makes it look like a CRT 😂

I bought this monitor to use with my PS5 and Mac Mini, the latter for photo-editing. While I understand that this is being clearly marketed as a gaming monitor however, at this price, and being qd-Oled display, I would expect it to be decently calibrated out of the box. It isn’t. Colours are off, skin tones are rubbish. Can’t be properly calibrated using my old calibration device (which I had used with my old LCD monitor), probably due to being an oled. On top of the high cost of the monitor itself, I have to buy an additional expensive calibration device. It remains to be seen whether that would actually solve the colour issue. As for gaming, this is a proper hdr capable monitor, so games look absolutely gorgeous. The screen seems to be semi-glossy rather than fully glossy which is a good thing. It’s an over-kill for the PS5 though as most games cannot utilise the full 4k, 120hz of the ps5 let alone the 240hz of this monitor. For me personally, I think it would have been better to go with the 42” LG C4 oled tv which is cheaper and bigger. For my personal use I would actually rate it with 3 stars, but I guess that would be unfair since this is a gaming monitor after all and not a photo-editing one.

Amazing monitor. QD Oled colours are spectacular. Response time is close to zero and 360hz for gaming is sublime. Cant recommend this monitor enough. One of the highest rated 1440 QD-Oleds ever.

Really love it. The brightness could be better tho. Other than that, it's perfect

Monitor's quality, colour accuracy, and hz performance re really good. They find the build quality premium, the display beautiful, and the blacks vibrant. The monitor can run 4K 120Hz and up to 8K resolution.Sound quality of the speakers is bad for something that is so expensive. Overall quality is good but speakers need improving for a monitor of this cost

At 890 pounds this really was a steal - using this with my RTX 5090 and Silkland 2m DP 2.1 cable (the included cable is really very short, you'll probably want to replace it). Absolutely blown away by the image quality (I do recommend applying custom settings to fine tune it a bit - look on youtube for guides), and the burn-in protection means I'm not overly worried about using this for coding 8 hours a day.
