There is also a USB-B upstream (to connect to your PC), and 3 x USB 3.2 downstream ports for connecting peripherals (including one fast-charge B.C 1.2). The monitor’s USB ports can be set to USB 2.0 or 3.2 Gen1*, which is handy if you have external drives or controllers that require a higher standard of USB.

The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively. The picture quality of the AG493UCX2 is decent out of the box, but you’ll need to make a few tweaks to get it looking its best. sRGB display colour is accurate, but the default gamma is inaccurate. Changing to Gamma 2 was closer to the 2.2 curve but still required calibration to reach an acceptable level of accuracy.

With a size of 49”, ultra-wide displays provide double more screen space compared to regular monitors. The extra size makes for more efficient use of space and allows for an unprecedented 32:9 ratio. I had considered the Samsung G9 but for that price and the fact that I like play with setting turned up I knew I would never get close to that frame rate and have no interest in spending thousands to trying to game at 240 fps using ridiculously high settings. If it were really into first person shooters I might feel differently. The warm colour temperature preset is closest to 6500K at 7400K, but it’s a little cooler than I prefer. Colour accuracy is good, however, with an average DeltaE of 0.68 (0.44 calibrated) in sRGB mode (brightness cannot be adjusted in sRGB mode, but the default is a usable 218 cd/m²). The saturation is excellent, with no over or under-saturation of colours, giving images a very natural appearance. I’ve been using a lot of displays recently with massive gamut coverage, so it did look a little flat at first, but once I had time to adjust I came to appreciate the more natural appearance. There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used.

Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. Width As with the old model, the AG493UCX2 is excellent when used with DisplayPort, but there are too many limitations if that is not going to be your primary display connection.Curved design wraps around you putting you at the center of the action and provides an immersive gaming experience. The storage humidity shows the lower and upper humidity limit, which ensures safe storage of the display. Storing it outside these limits might damage the display.
