Gaming gone long. Mega-wide PC monitors have officially arrived. All the big names are looking to get in on some 32:9 action, and the Philips Brilliance 499P9H has already proven that going wide can be a real boon for productivity. Such an aspect ratio is immense when editing video or working on a mammoth spreadsheet, but how well does it translate to gaming?

Asus has wasted little time in finding out and is bringing to market a 32:9 panel designed specifically for gaming thrills and spills. It's called the ROG Strix XG49VQ and is on the way to retail stores priced at £990.
