I bought my AOC AGON 49", 5120x1440 120hz (same panel, all of these 49" 32:9 are samsungs with different features) for 950 (50$ off for amazon credit card) w/ 24$ tax - 974$ total.
Well, one thing to factor in is you'd basically need a GPU that doesn't even exist yet to get high frames at high settings in graphically demanding titles. And the prices of these super ultrawides will (or at least should) get cheaper by the time GPU's catch up.
Many, many games will give serious fish eye effect on the majority of this monitor. It becomes apparent, but nbd, even on 21:9. You'll be playing with setting alot to reduce it.
I got the 34in ultra wide Dark Matter about a month ago, loving it! No dead pixels or anything warranting a return. This one should be a good pickup for anyone looking for something crazy wide lol
I have the same model! I love it, but now I want even bigger for productivity. How are the colors on yours? I think they are pretty damn good for a $500 34” 1440p 144hz model. But I might be biased as it is my first Ultrawide
Does the monitor come with any sort of screen splitting software to snap windows? I'm wondering if there's an easy way to have three equally sized screens spread out over the 49inch.
I have a VA and IPS side by side, and honestly VA is VERY close to IPS color quality. Definitely don't have viewing angle issues and doesn't have the IPS glow problem. I still use my IPS display for ultimate color quality but its barely any different.
Depends on your setup. If you have anything less than a 2080 TI and aren't planning on upgrading to at least a 3080 TI, might as well go for this. You won't be pushing past 120 fps anyway, and only folks already spoiled by high refresh rates will notice.
I just got the Alienware AW3420DW for $775 (pre-tax) off dell outlet. There's a 14% off code right now to get down to that price you can find on their site. 120Hz native G-Sync IPS.
Can anyone help me understand how a screen sharing session on skype, or zoom would work with this monitor? ( assume you are displaying the whole monitor and not just an application to attendees)
Because I don't use the monitor for only gaming. It's nice to have screen realestate when working/general use, and it's a nice have to be able to just play in ultrawide.
As a doublewide user, wider is always better. Wider FOV means you can see more of what's going on and get more immersion. I'd take a 32:9 over 16:9 for almost every game.
Some games limit what you can see vertically but not horizontally, so you can get an advantage by seeing more horizontally. Path of Exile for one, and I think League of Legends to some extent (though there's some tradeoffs with League and being able to focus, some pros play windowed to see less and focus more).
I game on a 49” CRG90, its amazing. You can actually see the entire screen with your face fairly close due to the curved screen. Games where there is a very slight fisheye on the outer edges, actually give you an advantage imo, you can use the outside edges to really zoom across the map to see if there are enemies. You can see over half of the arena in rocket league. The lack of FPS is made up by the FOV imo.
Generally, in games peripheral matters more than the up and down (heck, that's kinda true of life even) so wider tends to feel "more real" to me after having used an ultrawide.
If you're spending this much on a monitor, you shouldn't get something with a VA panel, especially given how far the good IPS panels have gotten. That's just me though
You're dealing in old information, mate. Yes, the original VAs were "less than IPS" for sure... this monitor, however, is using Samsung's SVA technology panel and is pretty dang close to IPS.
Not wide enough.
64:9 monitor when
I'll just wait for a monitor that surrounds you completely in a circle.
we need wide putin levels
32:9? Nah I want 48:9
That's what she said.
I have mirth for the girth.
Not tall enough. Would be great at 1600+ vertical.
What she said
Hey guys look at the size queen over here
Hopefully I can buy this in 2 summers after mowing a ton of lawns
that's the spirit
Make sure you weed whack too. Earn a little extra on top.
Just sell feet pictures man they're all the rave these days
You can do it! (But I would bet this would be cheaper by next year, or a refresh possibly)
Have you considered making an OnlyFans? Seems to be the new summer job for teenagers.
Jubilee reference lol?
If you charge $20 per lawn, you only need to mow 3 lawns a week for 15 weeks. So if you start mid April, you'll have this puppy by mid August
No. Buy bitcoin
Can't wait to put this is portrait and read the entirety of reddit at once.

Im dead.
Kept refreshing all morning and it finally popped up.
Move to Ontario, California. You can just pick it up at their warehouse.

great googly moogly
You sir, have brought back some long-lost memories.
I want this so bad, but I'm trying to rationalize why I don't. Why don't I need this?

Can’t you buy a c9 55” fir like 1200ish?
Because your gpu will be bottlenecking it in games
Because you already have 1-3 monitors and can get something a quarter the price to add to them rather than replace them.

Is this good for runescape?
Great for Path of Exile. Path of Exile has a fixed vertical viewport, but lets you see as much as your monitor can handle horizontally.
Asking the real questions
I use a 49" to run 2 EVE clients to multi-box PVP. I have 2 more displays next to the 49" to run all my other non-PVP EVE clients.
This is really cheap for a monitor of these specs
I want a monitor that is a complete circle
If my math checks out, you just need to buy like 4.72 of these to get a full 360°.
I could never find any reviews for this thing anywhere
On the bright side it is using a Samsung panel
I think I’m going to pull the trigger - their 34” model has been working flawlessly for me. After trying it I can’t get enough of the Ultrawide format
Join the darkside.
Curvature is 1800R. FYI.
For someone not familiar with curved monitors, what does that mean?

Ooh a monitor the same price as my pc. Time to grab the shovel and clippers and get back to work
How many games support 5120? I've honestly yet to see it in a list of resolutions in my games. 3440x1440 seems fairly common now.
I've played the following games without issue @ 5120x1440:
Personally I’m getting it for productivity. Racing games probably would be the best on this.
A fair amount support it, and many can just be forced into it.
Basically any FPS and racing game will support it. I have a 32:10 monitor and have never had issues with any games, but I don't play a ton.
I’m really interested in this one, tell me why I shouldn’t? I can’t afford the Samsung
I mean it's a Samsung panel. I just ordered one.
Who makes these for monoprice?
Samsung def does the panel.
I was wondering that myself, he’s right and it must be a newer panel since it has quantum dot
Wish this had USB-C
[удалено]
Yup this or triple monitor would be good
Damn want
Does this support picture by picture?
Yup it does. I just got it and it supports it via the OSD.
VA panel
[удалено]
I have a VA and IPS side by side, and honestly VA is VERY close to IPS color quality. Definitely don't have viewing angle issues and doesn't have the IPS glow problem. I still use my IPS display for ultimate color quality but its barely any different.
Nice 2K monitor, right guys?
It's a wide 1440p monitor.
Def 1440p
Anyone know if this particular model is gsync compatible?
Most Freesync Monitors should also be GSync compatible after nVidia allowed it.
It should be -- this monitor is using the same panel that goes into Samsung's CRG9. I have no problem with Gsync compatibility running CRG9 + 2080 XC.
Have a 5120x1440p Samsung CRG9, and absolutely recommend it. I can't speak to this monitor matching up, but the resolution is definitely worthwhile.
Looks to be the same panel but osd and circuit board can be different
Are curved monitors worth it for gaming?
it depends on what you want from the games and what type of games you play. The UW resolution often needs to have the top and bottom cut off to fit.
Some games may have better fov
Anyone have exp going from 2 larger monitors to something like this? I have a pair of 32" side by side and it's kinda uncomfortable
Ive seen a friend with it the best part is black bars not being present
Type c and a built in kvm would let me replace my 34+27...
Be aware that it doesn't run at native res via USB C if you're connecting a Macbook
Logged the fuck in
It’s a deal Until you start factoring in that you will probably need a new desk and a new pc/gpu to exploit this!
I mean it’s less pixels than 4K :)
Damn you Reddit, came out to $1008 shipped to TX. Fuck
I feel your pain with it shipped to CA
Waiting for 420:69 8K ULTRA HDR
I currently have a Samsung 3840x1200. Would it make more sense to get this as an upgrade, or hold out and spend way more on the Odyssey?
Depends on your setup. If you have anything less than a 2080 TI and aren't planning on upgrading to at least a 3080 TI, might as well go for this. You won't be pushing past 120 fps anyway, and only folks already spoiled by high refresh rates will notice.
Depends on refresh rate. The Odyssey is 240hz vs this being 120hz.
If you can afford it, get the Odyssey.
Any good widescreen g-sync deals?
This monitor should unofficially run GSync
I just got the Alienware AW3420DW for $775 (pre-tax) off dell outlet. There's a 14% off code right now to get down to that price you can find on their site. 120Hz native G-Sync IPS.
How noticeable would 4ms be compared to 1ms ?
May see some ghosting vs not
Honest question. Would a monitor with a 1ms response rate give me a 3ms edge in Rainbow 6 Siege over this 4ms response rate?
Yes and no, latency and networking doesnt always translate to a raw advantage.
How does this compare to the AOC Agon?
What kind of GPU does it take to run this monitor? Would a 1070ti just completely fall flat trying to max settings on this beast?
In modern AAA games - yes...but youd be fine in CSGO, LOL, DOTA, Rocket League, etc...
What's the lowest tier gpu you can have to drive that?
probably around an rtx 2060 super
This thing is more expensive than my pc
I really wanted to like 49" but I almost got motion sickness when trying something that drastic (I use a 34" ultrawide daily). YMMV
Can anyone help me understand how a screen sharing session on skype, or zoom would work with this monitor? ( assume you are displaying the whole monitor and not just an application to attendees)
Thicc black bars?
Why do people get such big monitors for gaming? Isn't the point to see the whole screen at the same time?
Immersion.
Because I don't use the monitor for only gaming. It's nice to have screen realestate when working/general use, and it's a nice have to be able to just play in ultrawide.
I could see this being really nice for a sim setup.
Depends on how fast pacing the game is. FPS no but race sims oh yeah

What is the middle ground between this and 21:9
There isnt - 21:9 is the middle to this and 16:9
[удалено]
No?
Don't be the guy that spent $8000 on a PC and is losing his GF guys lol
Surely games don't even run at this resolution.
Some do especially racers
Lots do - most multiplayer online focused games - COD, Rocket League, Dota, LOL, etc...
If you're spending this much on a monitor, you shouldn't get something with a VA panel, especially given how far the good IPS panels have gotten. That's just me though
Yeah problem with the LG 49WL95C-W that is IPS is it is 60hz instead of 120hz and is $500 more
You're dealing in old information, mate. Yes, the original VAs were "less than IPS" for sure... this monitor, however, is using Samsung's SVA technology panel and is pretty dang close to IPS.
Samsung has a 1000R one, even that is a pain to watch (end to end)...cant imagine how much of a bad experience this would be
Ah yes, Monoprice, the maker of shuffles notes ultra panoramic, high refresh rate, hardcore gaming, almost 1000usd monitors, back at it again.
that's dumb
Actual trash compared to the G9 lmaooo
Its almost half the price lol - this thing is a steal for what it is
ppl actually like curved monitors? since when?
There are no video cards capable of pushing that many pixels at 120fps. At least, not with the latest games (like rdr2) on ultra settings.
