Gaming Monitors January Sale
AOC AG493UCX 49" DQHD VA 120Hz Curved Monitor
If you have been feeling a little out of the loop on curved monitors, let me help you figure it out: curved monitors are bigger than ever. Obviously, not just in popularity, considering the massive 49" gaming display with the AOC AG493UCX.

VA affords deeper blacks and much higher contrast ratios, with enviable colour depth and immersion.
