Why We Like It – Viotek SUW49C Ultrawide

If you want to enjoy an immersive experience without having to invest in multiple monitors it is ideal to go with the Viotek SUW49C Ultrawide. It has a wide aspect ratio, so whether you’re going to use it for video games or work you will have a good amount of space to work with.

Pros
  • This monitor supports HDR gaming for more detailed images
  • AMD FreeSync cleans up graphics during games
  • n/a
Cons
  • A slow response time of 4ms may cost the game

Performance

To provide the best graphics possible, this monitor supports HDR so it can produce extremely detailed images. Frame rates in the game will be refreshing at a high rate of 144hz so you can expect less choppy graphics. One thing to note is that the response time is about 4ms, which is one second faster than the Viotek GNV32DB G-Sync ready monitor, so if you would rather invest in a monitor with a faster response time, you may want to check out the Asus VG278QR 27” Gaming Monitor.

Viewing angle

The 49” inch super ultrawide HDR monitor has a capped resolution of 3840x1080p so you can expect to enjoy more than 16.7 million display colors ready to use. There is a dynamic contrast ratio of 3000:1 that produces vibrant colors that will immerse you deeper into the game. This monitor uses a VA panel which may not provide the best reaction times but it provides the highest contrast among other types of panels. If you don’t have enough room to fit this curved gaming monitor in your setup, a smaller game monitor you may want to check out is the Sceptre C326B-185RD.

Durability

This curved monitor is one of the few with an industry-leading warranty that will extend the life of your monitor by covering any internal issues for 3 years. Customers have claimed to be quite satisfied with their purchase and reported no dead pixels or complications for that matter. If you want to maintain total security over your investment you can always ask your retailer if they offer a protection plan.

Ports/expandability

These super ultrawide monitors use a single DisplayPort. It includes two HDMI ports, one is 1.4 and the other is 2.0, to connect consoles or other devices. If you have a game headset you would like to use during gameplay, there is a 3.5mm audio jack where you can insert said headset. If by now you are overwhelmed by the immense size of the Viotek, it may be time to check out other monitors like the LG 27GL650F-B 27 Inch Full HD Ultragear G-Sync Compatible Gaming Monitor.

Value

This is a great monitor for work to invest in because whether you are using it for writing or play, it is always better to have a monitor to support high dynamic colors and provide great picture quality. For visual content, it will create an intense visual experience, and for work, it will give you a spacious amount of room to have plenty of windows open. If you are going to be using it for strictly competitive gaming, you may want to do a double-take because the last thing you want is a 4ms response time to cost you a win. But, it can be a great monitor for casual gaming and productivity.

Viotek SUW49C Ultrawide Wrap Up

The Viotek SUW49C Ultrawide is a superb choice for enjoying content with a whole new depth of color. The 49” inch ultrawide monitor will provide a wide aspect ratio to have sufficient room for work or play while showcasing millions of colors. It might be a good ultrawide monitor for gaming. As long as the 4ms response time isn’t a deal-breaker, this is a worthy investment. Viotek SUW49C Ultrawide
