The Acer EI491CRPCheck Price on Amazon is a 49-inch (3840 × 1080) ultrawide Monitor. It is based on a VA panel and covers 90% DCI-P3 color gamut. It supports 8-bit color depth.
The 3840 × 1080 resolution and 32:9 aspect ratio make it equivalent to two 1080p displays put side by side. It offers you a fair amount of screen real estate. You can effortlessly multitask and switch between tabs. I’ve explained this further in the Additional Features segment down below.
The image quality of this monitor is impressive. Its colors look true to life and pop out. It has a brightness level of 400-nits and a contrast ratio of 3000:1. Thanks to its high contrast ratio, you get blacks that look deeper and whites that look brighter.
The visuals of this monitor are neither saturated nor washed out. They are well-balanced. It is also fairly bright so I suggest you tone it down a bit. I would also recommend calibrating it for improved image quality.
Its screen has a 1800R curvature that makes gaming and watching movies immersive.
The overall panel uniformity of this monitor is decent. There are some inequalities towards the edges but overall, it is alright. I suggest you not buy this for graphic design and other color-critical activities.
The Acer EI491CRPCheck Price on Amazon is also an HDR-certified monitor. It is DisplayHDR400 certified which is an entry-level HDR. Its HDR performance is Hit / Miss. It produces bright and detailed visuals in some cases and in other cases they simply turn out over-saturated. I wouldn’t recommend buying this monitor if you want to use it mainly for consuming HDR content.
It has 178-degree wide viewing angles. Its colors, brightness, and contrast levels do not look washed out or dull unless viewed from extreme angles.
The monitor we reviewed had no dead pixels on it. There was a noticeable black smear present towards its edges which is common in almost all VA panel monitors. It is noticeable only in dark areas of a video game or movie. Its screen has a matte anti-glare coating that diffuses any reflections that form on it.
All in all, the image quality of Acer EI491CRPCheck Price on Amazon is very good. You can further improve it without some color tweaking. If you are mainly going to use it for work, gaming, and multimedia consumption, you will have no problems using it.
