A new gaming display from MSI has just been announced, and it seems like a true beast capable of unseating any of the greatest ultrawide monitors now available. The super-ultrawide panel, known as "Project 491C," has a high refresh rate and some OLED deliciousness. The costs of a few highly anticipated gaming monitors have also been revealed by LG. MSI announced the monitor on Twitter, but it didn't provide many details. But what little information we do have is more than enough to support the presentation. The 49-inch beast known as Project 491C will be built in the super-ultrawide form factor. Although this isn't a typical monitor design for gaming displays, the curved panel could provide next-level immersion in many games. Monitor

Given that this is a QD-OLED, the panel itself adds to the striking element because it is almost certain to be beautiful and bright. Additionally, MSI equipped the panel with a fast 240Hz refresh rate. Although MSI has dabbled in QD-OLED before, this is the company's first attempt to pair that panel with such a fast refresh rate. This monitor, according to MSI, is the first of its kind in the entire globe, and it has already won the CES 2023 Innovation Award. We're sure to learn more about this display soon because CES 2023 will take place in January 2023.

The world's FIRST super ultra-wide curved gaming monitor, with a 240Hz QD-OLED panel, is out there to ensure you enjoy a viewing experience far better than anything you’ve had before. Get ready for CES2023 for the debut of our Project 491C. #MSIxCES2023 #InnovationAward pic.twitter.com/tbTC8ognaD

MSI hasn't yet mentioned the cost or availability of the product. There is no doubt that this display won't be inexpensive, so get ready if you ever want to purchase one. You'll need one of the best GPUs to get the most out of this beast in addition to the (presumably hefty) cost of the monitor. While LG has recently released the prices and release dates for two intriguing screens of its own, MSI's announcement was hardly more than a brief teaser.

This display is curved and boasts a 240Hz refresh rate, just like MSI's forthcoming model. However, with a 21:9 aspect ratio and 3,440 x 1,440 QHD resolution, it is more of a conventional ultrawide. Both AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync will be supported. LG is also introducing a 27-inch UltraGear OLED with a flat screen in addition to the 45-inch variant. Beginning on December 12, both displays will be up for preorder. Shipping will commence on December 28 or later. The 27-inch model will cost $999, but it should come as no surprise that the 45-inch monitor is much more expensive. If you want to purchase that model, be prepared to pay $1,699 for it. This provides us a fair sense of the potential price of the future MSI display; it most likely won't be less expensive than the new LG.
