Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Problem with an order right now? Write to [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected] — answered the same business day. The letter also lists our group and store owners' contacts.

The GIGABYTE AORUS CO49DQ is a 49" curved OLED gaming monitor with DQHD 5120 x 1440 resolution and a native 32:9 aspect ratio. OLED technology delivers deep contrast and vivid colors, while the 49-inch ultrawide curved panel and 178° viewing angles create an immersive display suitable for gaming and content creation. Built-in speakers, a USB hub, VESA mounting and height adjustment add convenience for desktop setups.

Advantages

OLED panel with high contrast and accurate color reproduction, ultra-fast 0.03 ms response time and 144 Hz refresh rate for smooth motion, Dual QHD resolution (5120 x 1440) for detailed ultrawide visuals, HDMI 2.1 and FreeSync Premium Pro support for low-latency gaming, ergonomic features including height adjustment and VESA compatibility, and integrated USB hub and speakers for a tidy workstation.

Suitable for

  • Competitive and immersive gaming where fast response and high refresh matter
  • Sim racing, flight sims and widescreen multitasking with a 32:9 field of view
  • Content editing and color-critical work benefiting from OLED contrast
  • Home and office setups needing integrated speakers and USB connectivity

  • Resolution: 5120 x 1440 (DQHD)
  • Panel type: OLED
  • Refresh rate: 144 Hz
  • Response time: 0.03 ms
  • Aspect ratio: 32:9
  • Viewing angles: 178°

How to use

Place the monitor on a stable desk or mount it on a VESA-compatible arm or bracket. Connect the video source via HDMI 2.1 to take advantage of high refresh rates and bandwidth; use the built-in USB hub to attach peripherals. Adjust the height to a comfortable viewing position and configure display settings in the on-screen menu to set brightness, refresh rate, and color profile. Enable FreeSync or adaptive sync in your graphics driver for tear-free gameplay.

Recommendations

For optimal image quality and smooth gameplay, use a device and HDMI 2.1 cable that support 144 Hz at 5120 x 1440 where available. Reduce static high-contrast content and enable screen savers or pixel-shifting features when the monitor displays static images for extended periods to help prevent OLED image retention.
