Reviewer score 54%The AGON AG493UCX has a resolution of 5120 x 1440 pixels. The default refresh rate is good, but using the overdrive settings in the OSD, it is possible to reduce input lag to a minimum. US customers can find it for just $1,281 on Newegg or $915 if a refurbished model is of interest. Direct competitors are the Samsung CHG90 49in and the CRG90 (LC49RG90SSUXEN)

Reviewer score 77%The AG493UCX was reasonably accurate out of the box. Game Setting has everything needed for gameplay except aiming points. It also has a frame counter, 20-level blur reduction, three-level overdrive and shadow control. The blur reduction reduces light output by up to about 60% in its most aggressive setting.
