If you’re on the hunt for an awesome gaming monitor then you need to consider this deal on the GIGABYTE Aorus CO49DQ, a 49-inch ultrawide gaming monitor that Best Buy currently has on sale. This monitor regularly costs $1,300, which honestly isn’t bad considering the size of the monitor and all of its features. However, if you pick it up during Best Buy’s sale you won’t have to pay $1,300. Instead, you’ll end up paying $1,171 thanks to this limited-time discount.
Now Best Buy doesn’t mention how long this sale will last but they never last for too long. So this is a deal you’ll want to take advantage of as soon as possible. As this is a 49-inch ultrawide monitor it takes up a serious amount of space, but it’s worth it for the absolutely incredible amount of screen real estate you get for your games.
Speaking of gaming, the Aorus CO49DQ supports up to a 144Hz refresh rate. And that means super-smooth gaming visuals. That’s just the tip of the iceberg though. It also uses a QD-OLED panel so you get really bright and vivid colors here. Which are going to look really good in certain games. If you play games on Xbox Series X or PS5, the monitor also supports HDMI 2.1 so you can plug in either console and get the benefits that HDMI 2.1 brings to them. Like up to 120 frames per second and 4K visuals.
Another really neat feature is the ability to split up the screen space into two different monitors. Initially, the monitor has a 32:9 aspect ratio. But you can split it up into two even 16:9 aspect ratio screens to use side by side. This is pretty great if you want to have your PC content up next to your console using the picture-by-picture function.
