Within this article we will take a closer look at the technical specifications of the 49in Dark Matter monitor from Monoprice. For this we will talk about all possible categories that could be relevant. To start with, we will look at the display, talk about the design and in the next section we will go into the features of the monitor. Other features such as power consumption, connectors and certifications will follow later in the text.
Display
Any multimedia content can be displayed on 49 inches ( 1.244 m on the diagonal). The size specification of a monitor refers to the screen diagonal, which is usually specified in inches. It is only comparable to a limited extent for different formats. For example, a conventional 4:3 monitor with the same screen diagonal has 6% less width, but 13% more height and a total of 7% more surface area than a monitor in 16:10 format. Despite the difference in working area, wider monitors are better suited for consuming games or current movies, for example. It is also easier to display several documents simultaneously on widescreen monitors. So, it depends on the current use case whether the aspect ratio of 3.556 : 1 makes sense for the intended use case. Approximately 88.8 % of the front surface of the monitor is taken up by the display, while the remaining part is screen edges that do not allow the image to be displayed. If you want to place several monitors next to each other, it is advisable to choose models with narrow edges. The display is a SVA panel. The panel has a resolution of 5120 x 1440 px. The pixel density is 109 ppi. The pixel pitch is 0.311 mm. The continuous possible brightness specified by the manufacturer Monoprice is 400 nt. The panel is illuminated by W-LED. The built-in panel ensures stable color reproduction of the image, even at deviating viewing angles, by means of its 178 ° (horizontal) viewing angle. Monoprice promises stable color reproduction moreover within a 178 ° vertical angle. Vertically, however, the image renews at a minimum rate of 120 hz up to 120 hz. The minimum response time of the monitor is ms. The display panel is Anti-glare/Matte (3H).
Color space
The panel has a bit depth of 8 per color channel, but what does that mean? The number of bits determines how many colors can be encoded for the individual pixels of the display. For an 8-bit panel, for example, this is 256 different colors (2^8 = 256). However, since we usually display three different colors per pixel at the same time, in theory about 16 million (256^3) different colors are possible by mixing the three pixels. A 10-bit panel could even display a billion colors. The coverage of the Adobe RGB 1998 color space is 93 % according to the manufacturer. According to the manufacturer, the coverage of the DCI-P3 color space is 95 %. According to the manufacturer, the coverage of the NTSC 1953 color space is 98 %. According to the manufacturer, the coverage of the SRGB color space is 99 %.
Contrast ratio
Contrast ratio is a common measurement used to represent the maximum relative differences in brightness between black and white. It describes the ability of a screen or projector to produce a high-contrast image and is the quotient of the maximum and minimum displayable luminance. The higher the values are away from each other, the stronger the quantitatively seen difference between black and white is set up, which in turn results in an improved image quality. This monitor from Monoprice has a static contrast ratio of 3000 : 1 , according to the manufacturer.

screen design
Monoprice Specifies the following dimensions for the monitor 49in Dark Matter without stand/feet: 37.6 cm x 1.199 m x 16 cm (HxWxD)
If you want to place the monitor described here on the desk without a wall mount, you should allow for 47.1 x 1.199 x 24.6 m (HxWxD) of space. The device weighs in total (i.e. also measured with the stand) 14.8 kg.
Curved
The 49in Dark Matter is a curved monitor with a curvature of 1.8 m
Rotate, tilt and swivel
The monitor from Monoprice cannot be rotated. The monitor cannot be swiveled. This feature could be retrofitted with a third-party stand. The monitor 49in Dark Matter can be tilted. The angle of inclination to the rear is 15. The monitor can be tilted forward by 5 degree.
Ports
camera
This monitor does not have a camera.

Features
- AMD FreeSync: By dynamically synchronizing the refresh rate of the 49in Dark Matter with the frame rate, AMD FreeSync minimizes judder and ensures smooth and enjoyable gameplay.
- Picture by Picture mode
- Picture in Picture mode
Panel manufacturer
Many manufacturers of monitors and TVs fall back on third-party manufacturers, such as Samsung or LG, when choosing the actual display (panel). Thus, many of the monitors have the same panel and, conversely, differ only in their design, additional functionalities, the software used and, of course, the price. Two monitors from Monoprice or another manufacturer with an identical panel do not necessarily have to have the same picture quality, but it is usually a first indicator for a purchase decision. The panel used here is originally from Samsung and has the model number LSM490YP02.
WiFi / Bluetooth
Power consumption
On average, the monitor consumes approximately 80 w. The maximum power consumption (peak) specified for this monitor is 105 w. In standby mode, the device consumes approximately 0.5 w. When switched off, on the other hand, the monitor consumes only 0.5 w. The monitor can be operated on a 110v power supply. The monitor can be operated on a 220v power supply. There are 2 amps specified. The power grid has to supply a frequency of 50 hz to 60 hz.
Environment
During operation, the ambient temperature must not exceed 40 °C , to ensure full functionality. Below a temperature of 0 °C , the monitor from Monoprice should again not be used. The maximum storage temperature should be according to Monoprice 60 °C. Minimal were given by Monoprice -20 °C.
