It's no wonder AUO didn't reveal the actual resolution of its new 49-inch 5K panel in its press release yesterday , as this is a typical 5120 x 1440 panel when it comes to the resolution. Yes, it's capable of 360 Hz, which is higher than the competition which is currently at 240 Hz. AUO has also managed to crank up the backlight to 600 nits in HDR mode, although this is still a typical backlight and not some kind of FALD implementation.

The panel itself is based on AUO's PSA, which is a VA type of panel. It has a contrast ratio of 5000:1 and covers 95 percent of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. AUO claims that the panel has a 1 ms grey to grey response time with overdrive enabled. As per yesterday's press release, the panel has a 1000R curvature, which means it's very curved, as you can see in the pictures below. We don't know who AUO's customers for the panel are, but we'll hopefully see some indications at Computex next month.
