The Acer EL491CRG9 gaming monitor will pack a huge 49-inch super-ultrawide Mini LED-based display with a native 5120 x 1440 resolution and super-fast 240Hz refresh rate. We also have NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync technology here, 3 x HDMI (2.1) connectors and 1 x DisplayPort 1.4 connector.

The new monitor is already for sale in China with a price on Acer's new EL491CRG9 gaming monitor that works out to be around $2300... not bad for a gigantic 49-inch 5120 x 1440 super-ultra wide monitor @ 240Hz with Mini LED technology.

Remember that Samsung has its own new 2021 Odyssey G9 gaming monitor with virtually identical specs: 49-inch 5120 x 1440 @ 240Hz with Mini LED technology -- except that costs twice as much, coming in at a huge $4600. If Acer is genuinely charging $2300 then it will definitely be worth a look.
