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.

UPDATE 12-30-2025: 1 year of use and it is still going strong, no issues. Great monitor for work! Original review: 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.

An incredible Monitor with a beautiful screen clarity, oled making the color just pop out and stand out better than any other monitor I’ve ever had. Truly an awesome addition to anyone pc build! You get what you pay for here, big price, but a top tier screen!

Thought I'd take a chance on this unknown brand to me. I had a 34 inch LG wide monitor and wanted to upgrade to a 49 inch. This one was on sale and had decent enough reviews so I went for it. I do video production professionally but still try to save money if I can. The colors were good enough out of the box but had to do a little tweaking to make them to my liking. There's some clarity issues when not viewing the screen perfectly centered but isn't too bad. I hear that's all 49 inch screens though. Then there was a cluster of dead pixels I noticed in the top middle of my screen. Not super bad as they are very small and can only be seen with really bright scenes and having to focus on that area. Still, I thought maybe there's better monitors out there and I should at least try. So I ordered the Samsung 49inch business version of ViewFinity S9. Right out of the box I noticed how bright it was, the curve is significantly greater than this Innocn, which I thought I would like but actually don't. For video editing it warped my timeline too much to my liking and actually made me feel clostraphobic compared to this Innocn. I'm sure the curve is great for gaming but that's not what I'm using this for. The brightness was nice on the Samsung but the colors were way off to begin with. After fiddling with it for hours I felt I could never get it to how I really wanted it. I did some work for a few hours and switched back over to this Innocn monitor to see which one I liked better and said to myself "the Innocn is better, and better for me." So I returned the Samsung and kept this one. I do think for the price this is a great monitor. Some others have said the build quality might not be the best but the money is put into the image. It really is nice. I'll just keep the dead pixels because I don't think I'm gonna find a better price for the image than this. I know I could spend 4-5 times more and probably get what I want but this will work great for what I need.
