So far so great. I’ve tested it with light gaming (rocket league)and everything works great. I have to make some upgrades to my rig before I can truly test its limits. Beautiful monitor, And it works great. Definitely recommend

Great, beautiful monitor. I could praise all of its good parts but it's easier just to outline the parts that aren't perfect:

- the cable management system through the base is a joke. Too small to fit the power cable or an HDMI cable. Just assume it's not there

- You can change the colour profiles of the display, but as soon as you do picture in picture or picture by picture you can no longer enter the adjustments menu. To further complicate things, only the main input will have the colour profile applied so if you plan to do PxP then you should plan to use the default colour profile of the monitor.

Everything else is superb and as the listing states. I'd definitrly recommend the monitor.

Very happy with the monitor overall. Beware that you will want to have a mount for it, as the included stand has no height adjustment and the monitor sits very low to the desk.

My panel has zero dead pixels, minimal g sync flickering (very hard to notice during games), ghosting could be better but overall not terrible.

Wasn't sure if I was going to keep this, but for $899 I'm pleased with it.

Looks amazing.

This monitor is all about the beautiful Samsung panel at a bargain price. The settings are adequate with HDR 400 and limited gamma options. The stand is functional with an LED tucked behind the screen. The speakers produce sound albeit at very low volume. The gorgeous, high-quality screen more than compensates for any shortcomings. This monitor is great for gaming and productivity. If it is ever back in stock, buy it quick.

First off, I'm not a huge gamer so I'll let others speak to refresh rates or Twitching or overclocking. Many might ask "then why did you buy a gaming monitor?" Fair question, and read on.

Pros: I use this monitor for work and it is incredible to have so many programs open and visible at once. It positively affects productivity, particularly when comparing contents of multiple documents. And, I do that all day long. Also, I use a helpful tool that lets me divvy up my open programs and easily control position and size. I also found a tutorial to move my Windows taskbar icons to the center of the screen, which helps to minimize mouse movement to the corners. The delivery took a while, the box was ridiculously long, and this thing is heavy, but the setup process was simple. Once I applied picture settings that I found online (using the CRG9 for search) the picture is incredibly sharp and beautiful. Without a doubt the best looking monitor I've had. And, I'm running the screen with my laptop's built in graphics at 5120x1440 using a usb-c to DP1.4 cable. Impressive that my laptop can drive all these pixels.

Cons: The screen is so flipping wide that it vibrates a bit when I type furiously. Most non furious typers might not notice it. There is not much 5120x1440 video content available but there are stunning desktop wallpapers. I should note that the OSD is janky, but it does the job and I'm not in there enough to care. The price is high, even at Monoprice, for a super ultra mega wide monitor that no one really "needs" but I find value in having so much accessible screen real estate.

Overall, I'm really happy with it.

If you're in the market for a 49" and don't care about certain features like:

-Adjustable Stand
-Fancy aesthetics
-Built-in KVM
-USB Hub

Those are things that come in the Samsung CR9 for around $300-$400 more.

So if you don't care about those, you get similar quality for a lower price!

It uses the same panel as the CR9 but I'm not sure why this is rated HDR400 while that one is rated HDR1000. I tried one game in HDR (Forza Horizon 4) and it looked great but the HDR slider didn't make a difference after 400nits so it may just be rated at 400.

Out of the box the colors are pretty bad, after some personal calibration, it looked great.

G-Sync works for full screen mode, windowed mode has flicker. Games that runs at a low fps also flickers, but it works.

Like VA panels in general, there are some ghosting.

I wish there was a height adjustment, it just needs to be a few inches higher for me. The stand is nothing to talk about.

There were zero dead pixels or backlight bleed.

Overall, this was a good purchase for the price.

This monitor works perfectly no matter the OS.
After some initial setup, this monitor is absolutely sublime!

Out of the box, the colors were horrific so take note that this monitor does not come precalibrated from the factory.

- I calibrated the colors.
- Enabled FreeSync in the menu.
- Only then was I able to turn on G-Sync at 120Hz and it works flawlessly on my 3-year old 1080Ti.

Compared to the 49" 1800R 1440P Samsung that uses the same exact LCD panel, I'm not seeing any features that are missing from the $400 that I saved by getting this one.

I especially like the fact that the Dark Matter logo is very small and understated -way better than the chrome Samsung logo.

Highly recommended. Well done Monoprice.

Firstly, there were some question regarding this resolution in macOS, it DOES in fact work, I am currently running 5120x1440p in clamshell mode on my 2019 13" MacBook Pro. some caveats:

- You may need SwitchResX or write your own display profile
- You may need the macOS 11 Big Sur Beta, as Big Sur includes the newer Intel drivers, unsure if needed for laptops with a graphics card.
- You will not get over 60hz without a GPU
- Use a proper DisplayPort - USBC cable, one that is DP 1.4 rated.
- Use the Thunderbolt ports on the proper side of your respective laptop, as certain ports are throttled when charging.

This display is glorious. The panel is incredible for gaming on my PC with HDR and Nvidia G-Sync at 120hz, two features not prominently advertised. I can never go back to "normal" ever again.

I have yet to hookup my Xbox One X and use picture by picture for playing multiplayer with console buddies, but I am sure it will look fantastic as well.

Overall I am a big big fan, A+ product.

This is the same panel as the Samsung CRG9.

GSYNC WORKS! (Tested on a 2080ti)

Monoprice offered the Samsung CRG9 at a several hundred dollar discount, but with all the value. Response times are solid and after some light tweaks - I have a great picture quality with colors and contrast that are very satsifying.

It appears to support HDR400 - which isn’t anything to write home about, so if you are someone who really values HDR - this may not be for you.

For the price - the quality received is incredible.

Anyone looking for a 32:9 monitor - there is a very serious contender for best value.
