Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Gawfolk GF490B is the 49-inch entry in this guide, at #9, and the widest screen on the list: a 32:9 panel at 5120 x 1440 with a 1500R curve, 120 Hz, a height-adjustable stand and RGB backlighting, listed at £479.96 with 4.2 out of 5 from 1,396 ratings.
The spec table on the same listing is where it gets odd. It calls the resolution '5K QHD 1440p', which is not what 5K means — 5120 x 1440 has half the vertical pixels of a true 5K panel (5120 x 2880). It also gives the item dimensions as 0.5D x 60W x 36H centimetres: a 49-inch 32:9 screen is roughly twice 60cm across, and a monitor with a height-adjustable stand does not sit half a centimetre deep. Two of the reviews quoted further down describe a 27-inch Gawfolk and a 1080p picture, neither of which is this monitor. Everything here is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any testing of our own.
