AUO launches a huge 5K monitor with 360 Hz

AUO, the company specializing in creating display screens, has taken advantage of the Touch Taiwan fair to present its latest technological novelty. Of course, we are talking about AUO’s new giant 5k display with 360 Hz.

AUO’s new high-end giant display offers to date, the fastest refresh rate on the market for its native resolution. Thanks to the growth of the gaming industry, companies manufacturing monitors every day are striving to raise the bar and have brought it to an excellent point. In particular, the ultra-widescreen monitors we will talk about today.

AUO’s new giant monitor

AUO’s new giant monitor is based on a PSA panel from the company that uses VA technology. This technology may be the best balanced as it sits between IPS image quality and TN performance.

Features of AUO’s giant monitor

It can be said that AUO’s new monitor is big, rather giant, as it features 49 inches diagonal. A static contrast ratio of 5,000:1 is present and covers 95 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut. In addition, it is compatible with the HDR600 high dynamic range standard.

On the other hand, this monitor has a very curved screen with a curvature range of 1000R. In addition, it has a gray-to-gray response time of 1 ms; however, one of its most striking features is its 350 Hz refresh rate. This is arguably the highest refresh rate for external widescreen monitors, with a 32:9 aspect ratio with a resolution of 5120 x 1440 pixels.

It is unknown at this time which of the many manufacturers on AUO’s customer list will be using this monitor. However, with this new monitor, another bet is being made in the industry to increase sales of these widescreen displays.

The first feature of this monitor style is that they offer the possibility of working with more windows open, thanks to the larger horizontal viewing area. In addition, these monitors offer better immersion in video games, and the viewing experience is ideal for watching movies. However, this monitor style is not for everyone; it depends on the consumer’s taste.

We have already talked about all the advantages offered by this new monitor. Now it is important to talk about its disadvantages or drawbacks. To begin with, reducing the vertical viewing area can be annoying when browsing web pages or using spreadsheets.

On the other hand, in some older video games, the scaling may not be correct; however, now this support has increased, and all new games can be adapted to this monitor style.
