The monitor offers a high refresh rate of 165Hz, supported by adaptive-sync technology for VRR from both NVIDIA and AMD systems, providing a smooth gaming experience without any stuttering or tearing. The expanded color gamut with 125% sRGB coverage and factory calibration with dE <2 ensures that every color is accurately represented.
The XG49WCR features multiple connectivity options, including DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, USB type-C, USB data ports, and an Ethernet connector. The built-in RJ45 connector allows the monitor to function as a dock for laptops, providing network connectivity through a single USB-C connection. The USB type-C interface supports a 65W reverse power supply, allowing users to charge their laptop while simultaneously connecting to the display and other connected accessories.
The Smart KVM switch is an innovative feature that allows users to easily switch control between two devices connected to the display using a keyboard and mouse. The monitor automatically swaps control from one machine to the other using Smart KVM when the user moves the pointer from one side of the screen to the other, eliminating the need for manual switching.
