Samsung S49A950U 49" DQHD Ultra-Wide Curved QLED Monitor (2021)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Samsung S49A950U is a premium 49-inch DQHD ultra-wide, 1800R-curved monitor. It inherits most of its features from the C49RG90 gaming monitor from the 2019 model year, though Samsung has downgraded its brightness and HDR capabilities, optimizing the S49A950U instead for general computing / office use.
For its intended perhaps, the S49A950U comes some of the best color reproduction among Samsung monitors on the market today. Its 10-bit QLED panel also delivers in contrast and speed. The built-in USB-C hub with 90W power delivery is perhaps the cherry on the cake.
