If you're in the market for a massive new monitor in the UK, then look no further than this frankly huge MSI MPG 491CQP, a 49-inch ultrawide monitor with OLED and 1440p resolution.

Get a 5120 x 1440 monitor with OLED panel, 144Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms GtG response time, Display HDR True Black 400, and a bunch of ports.

This is a massive monitor that falls into the "buy it and never think about it ever again" category. Unless you want 4K, this monitor would, in theory, solve all your display real estate needs for years to come. The resolution means you are effectively running two 1440p monitors side-by-side, making it perfect for both high productivity and ultra-immersive gaming.

The panel is a quantum dot OLED with 1.07 billion colors and support for DisplayHDR True Black 400. As noted, it comes with lots of ports, including USB-C with 90W power delivery, so you can use this monitor as a dock to tie your whole setup together if you really want to.

A quick glance at Amazon UK will tell you that you'll struggle to find another OLED monitor of this size, spec, and price. The Gigabyte AORUS, a 49-inch OLED, is £736, and Samsung's own OLED alternative is £798, as is the Philips Evnia 49M2C8900AM.

Under the hood, you'll find AI-assisted burn-in prevention features, and this monitor is hugely popular with customers based on the Amazon reviews.
