TL;DR: The Acer Nitro 49-inch ultrawide curved gaming monitor is currently on sale for $599.99 at Amazon. That's down from its typical $699.99 price.


Upgrading to a decent curved gaming monitor from a reliable brand can be an expensive process, but Acer’s just made things a little easier at Amazon. As of Jan. 30, Amazon has dropped the Acer Nitro EI491CUR to its lowest-ever price of $599.99 (according to price tracker camelcamelcamel).

This 49-inch display sports a 32:9 aspect ratio with a DQHD resolution of 5120 x 1440, which is essentially the equivalent of running two QHD monitors side by side — minus the bezel in the middle. It’s ideal for sprawling open-world games like Cyberpunk 2077, racing sims along the lines of Forza Horizon 5, or flight simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The aggressively curved 1,000R panel is designed to keep the entire screen at a consistent viewing distance, helping reduce eye strain while making games feel more immersive. Performance-wise, you’re getting a 120Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time, and AMD FreeSync support to smooth out fast-paced action and eliminate screen tearing.

At under $600, this deal makes super ultra-wide gaming far more affordable than usual.

If you're willing to spend a little bit more on a curved monitor, Samsung’s 49-inch Odyssey G9 is now $300 off. For those shopping for an OLED, the 49-inch G93SC version of the Odyssey G9 is on sale for $899.
