About this product
The MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED is a 49-inch curved OLED gaming monitor with a dual QHD resolution (5120x1440) and 144Hz refresh rate. It uses Quantum Dot OLED technology for enhanced color and contrast.

Our take
The MSI MPG 491CQP is an impressive ultra-wide monitor. The 49-inch curved OLED panel creates an immersive experience, especially in racing games. The QD-OLED delivers stunning colors and deep blacks. At 144Hz, it's smooth enough for most gaming, though I wished for a higher refresh rate considering the price. The resolution of 5120x1440 gives plenty of screen real estate for multitasking. However, text clarity can be an issue with the QD-OLED sub-pixel layout, and the curve might not suit everyone. The stand is large, so make sure you have a wide desk. Overall, a great pick for immersive gaming if you can handle the size.
