INNOCN 49" Curved Gaming Monitor 144Hz Ultrawide 32:9 WDFHD 3840 x 1080P, R1800, 99% sRGB, HDR400, USB Type C, DisplayPort, HDMI, Built-in Speakers, Height/Tilt Adjustable - 49C1G

The vision:Couldn't find any reviews on this model (it's very new) so decided to write one. Was considering LG or Samsung, but decided to take a chance on this one based on reviews of other INNOCN models. Their vision seems to be to focus on what matters, and cut costs where possible. The result is a 49" costing $300 less than other brands with comparable panel and specs. I'm ok with this proposition.What's lacking:No remote, no glossy back panel, no fancy LED lights in the back, and not great sounding integrated spekers (but at least you have speakers) = $300 discount. Do you need all that stuff anyway? I don't. Remote would be nice but I'll manage.What matters:The screen, oh the screen... It blew me away. I was concerned about VA panel and not ISP, but it looks incredible and I love it. The 1800R curve works perfectly for me, although I suspect I might like 1500R a bit better. The brightness is great, the colors look beautiful, the HDR in standard mode is perfect. Resolution is great around 109 PPI, and I don't see colors fade at the edges. I divide into 3 screens and it's efficient. Looks like a very high quality panel. I'm glad someone decided a 49" ultra-wide was a good idea, because it seriously is. I used two 27 in monitors for a long time, and although it's the equivalent screen area there's no comparison in how much more efficient this setup is. My hope is that the monitor is durable, and continues to work for a long time.Issues:Only issue was it wasn't waking up when my Mac Mini woke up from sleep. I had to turn on manually each time. It's a setting in the monitor. Turn off the "Auto Power" feature in "other Settings" and this fixes the problem. The monitor goes into standby instead of powering off completely when it detects no signal from the computer. I use USB-C cable.Last note to someone in Amazon: Reviews should be for the specific product, they should not be mixed for different models. Someone fix this.6 MONTH UPDATE: 3/29/24: The monitor continues to work flawlessly. No glitches, no issues, turns on every time. When the time comes to buy another in the future, will definitely get 1500R if not 1000R. Also, higher PPI than 109 if available. Still very happy with the purchase.

I looked on at the curved monitor craze with amusement for a few years before finally deciding to try it. At home I had been using one large 27” 4k monitor that I would toggle between my work Windows laptop and personal Mac laptop. Then I ended up adding another 24” Dell 1080 monitor to get more work real estate. Figured that would do for now but the mismatch and seam was a bit annoying. Found this INNOCN 49” curved monitor as a Black Friday deal and went for it. Easy setup, works perfectly for me. Not a gamer, so I’m not sure how well it would do there. But it works great via USB-C from my work Dell Latitude 5500 w/ the Thunderbolt support. And I have it going usb-c from the Mac to DisplayPort, which gives the faster 120mhz support. Easy to switch between inputs using the menu buttons. The stand legs are thin and unobtrusive. It doesn’t emit much heat at all. So far no odd behavior after about a month of daily use. Only mild annoyance is that after a time it seems to go to sleep and then it disconnects from the work laptop which causes all the windows to move back to the laptop screen when I log back in. I’m not sure if that is the monitor’s fault or a Dell thing.Regardless I highly recommend this as a solid basic and inexpensive 49” QHD curved monitor for productivity use. Just make sure your computer can support it, and remember it only has one USB-C input. But using DisplayPort is also available and would give you the better refresh rate, without the benefit of a wired USB keyboard/mouse connected straight to monitor.

I've used this monitor almost every day for 8 months.Preface: my primary use is for work. I am a software developer and have previously used some combination of monitors for multi tasking.Since buying this monitor, I only use this single monitor and my laptop as a secondary side monitor for ansilary windows like chats, music, etc.I don't game very often so this review won't focus on the gaming aspects.I love this monitor. I originally bought a Samsung G9 but returned it in favor of this monitor. One of the main decides was the I/O. I wanted a single cable to connect to my laptop that supports power delivery and I've achieved that goal with this monitor.I still use a KVM to switch between my laptop and my personal servers which has worked just fine. I use the USB c and hdmi inputs which have worked great.I also make use of the real usb I/O for simpler cable management.Video quality is great IMO and screen resolution is insane. I can have 2 full screen apps side by side which is incredible for task switching.Sound quality is meh, but I never planned on using the built in speakers anyways.Overall this monitor is incredibly and I have no regrets buying it.P.S. Spreadsheets are crazy in this screen.

Excellent brightness and good color balance. There's an extremely bright, flashing, blue standby light that is very annoying, so we have to manually turn off the monitor when not in use, but given the quality and price point, the annoyance is worth it.
