Upgrading to a decent curved gaming monitor from a reliable brand can be an expensive process, but Acer’s just made things a little easier at Amazon. As of Jan. 30, Amazon has dropped the Acer Nitro EI491CUR to its lowest-ever price of $599.99 (according to price tracker camelcamelcamel).
This 49-inch display sports a 32:9 aspect ratio with a DQHD resolution of 5120 x 1440, which is essentially the equivalent of running two QHD monitors side by side — minus the bezel in the middle. It’s ideal for sprawling open-world games like Cyberpunk 2077, racing sims along the lines of Forza Horizon 5, or flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator.
