Asus' new gaming monitor is bigger than my TV

From CNET: How big do you like your gaming monitors to be? No matter what size just popped into your head, Asus' new monitor is probably bigger.

Announced at Computex in Taipei on Monday, the Asus VG49V is a 49-inch, curved display. That may be average-sized in the world of TVs, but as a monitor for gaming rigs, it's huge.

With a 3,840x1,080-pixel resolution, Asus is calling it a Double Full HD model, being that it's twice as wide as the traditional 1,920x1,080-pixel Full HD setup.

As you'd expect, Asus packed the goods into this beast. Along with its 3,840x1,080-pixel resolution, it has a 144Hz panel, meaning it refreshes 144 times a second, and uses AMD's FreeSync to do away with screen tearing (when two frames appear onscreen at once).

It's also not the only monitor Asus showed off. There's one for console gamers, the CG32UQ, and another, the ProArt PA34V, for professional creatives. Here's a rundown of both.
