Built to deliver a wide and immersive gaming experience, the C49RG9 49" 5K HDR 120 Hz Curved Gaming Monitor from Samsung features a 49" Vertical Alignment (VA) panel with a native resolution of 5120 x 1440, a 32:9 aspect ratio, an 1800R curvature rating, a 120 Hz refresh rate, DisplayHDR 1000 with a peak luminance of 1000 cd/m2, AMD FreeSync II, and QLED backlighting.
The 1800R curvature rating helps your eyes to maintain a constant focus distance from the screen. This reduces focus shifts your eyes make when viewing a flat screen, which helps result in less fatigue and more comfortable viewing over extended periods. Additionally, the 120 Hz refresh rate means the display shows a new image 120 times per second for less delay between each individual frame and therefore less input lag. Rounding things out is AMD FreeSync II and FreeSync Premium Pro, which help remove stuttering delays and screen tearing by dynamically adapting the display's refresh rate to variable frame rates.
Samsung has also equipped this display with support for 1.07 billion colors, a static contrast ratio of 3000:1, a 4 ms (GtG) response time, and coverage for 95% of the DCI-P3 and 125% of the sRGB color gamuts using Quantum Dot technology. Using the 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, it is possible to watch content from virtually any position. This display has one HDMI 2.0 output and two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs for connecting to your system. For connecting peripherals, there are two USB-A 3.0 ports and two USB-A 2.0 ports.
Please note that DisplayHDR 1000 requires HDR10. Also, due to the bandwidth limitation of HDMI 2.0, the resolution of 5120 x 1440 can't be achieved when the refresh rate is set to 100 or 120 Hz. When the refresh rate is set to 100 or 120 Hz, the maximum supported resolution is 3840 x 1080. Only DisplayPort supports 5120 x 1440 at 120 Hz.
