At first glance, the 49GR85DC-B appears to have a spec list that should be a home run for fans of ultrawide gaming, but there are a few things to keep in mind that might not make it as desirable as it first appears. There is the cost first. The 49GR85DC-B from LG is priced at $1,300. That’s a lot for an LCD in 2023. Furthermore, from my experience, VA panels are never as quick as their manufacturers claim, so don’t be shocked if LG’s newest doesn’t match the 1ms response time it claims. It’s also important to note that few video games support 32:9 aspect ratios.
