Our take on the Acer Nitro EI1 Curved Gaming Monitor EI491CUR 49-inch

The Acer Nitro EI491CUR is a 49-inch super-ultrawide gaming monitor with a 5120x1440 resolution, a 240 Hz refresh rate and a 1 ms response time. It uses an IPS panel with HDR support and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, plus USB-C and DisplayPort 1.4 inputs. It suits sim racers, flight simmers and multitaskers who want one screen to replace two 27-inch displays. Against rivals like the Samsung Odyssey G9 and LG UltraGear 49-inch, it trades some peak brightness and curve depth for a simpler, more affordable package.
