      I've got this screen. At an angle the backlight inconsistency is quite noticeable. Sitting directly in the middle of it looking at it curved, it looks great. And the latter is all that matters.

      • TheFIREnanceGuy on 27/09/2023 - 09:58

        Do you think the 1000r is perfect over the others?

        • Skullytor on 27/09/2023 - 10:40

          Do you mean the curve itself? The screen is 1800r - sometime I think a bit more curve (like the more expensive G9) would be better.

          I know it looks good for what I do - light gaming and lots of work

      Yep I agree. Got mine a couple og month ago for 1500 and at this price it is a steal. I only use it for work but don't think I could ever (happily) go back to dual screen setup.

      • TheFIREnanceGuy on 27/09/2023 - 09:58

        Thoughts on 1000r? Considering others that are like 1500 or 1800 but heard it's the best

          +1

          I haven't actually used any 1000r but I think the 1800r of this one is perfect for work. I usually Have 2-3 windows open at the same time and the screen on my normal desk. Distance and radius just works great not having to turn your head all the time. For gaming the 1000r might be better/more immersive

        I do PnP mode for work so half the screen shows my laptop the other half shows desktop.

        games not really, never been able to use the full 32:9
        mostly 16:9 or 21:9 depending on performance.

        • DrScavenger on 26/09/2023 - 19:08
          +1

          When you play 16:9 is the video centred? Or does it start from the left?

          • Ryballs on 27/09/2023 - 02:06

            @DrScavenger: It's centered. I would not watch 16:9 video on this unless it's got black horizontal bars you can crop to wider aspect.

        • wise penny on 26/09/2023 - 20:53

          Do u need any software to be installed on the work laptop to get this PnP working?

        • Ryballs on 27/09/2023 - 02:07

          Almost all my games run in 32:9, you must have been unlucky

          • Hatter on 27/09/2023 - 16:33

            @Ryballs: no, didn't mean games don't support 32:9, meant it didn't make sense to play them at 5k cause most games that are worth playing in at the full 32:9 are very demanding and ur better off using 21:9 to get higher setting and more fps.

            but if Ur playing games that are a few yr older and have the latest GPU, its really something else experiencing it in 32:9

            • Ryballs on 27/09/2023 - 21:13

              @Hatter: Just play at a lower 32:9 resolution and use FSR or whatever.

      Thoughts on 1000r? Is it the best?

  • Untameable on 26/09/2023 - 17:15

    In case people don't know, this monitor has two variants - QLED and OLED. This is the QLED version so it's brighter, but the OLED version is more expensive and gives you real blacks.

    Also a lot of monitor arms won't be able to hold the curved monitor weight even if it's within spec. If you plan on using an existing arm, you are probably out of luck, and buying a special arm for it costs quite a bit. For example if you have or get an Ergotron HX which are the best in the industry at about $375, you still need another $75-$100 to buy a special adapter to handle the weight.

    • Bearboi on 26/09/2023 - 17:38
      +2

      I don't think this monitor came in the OLED.

      There's a few monitor arms which supports this size now without needing to go with the Ergotron HX and for about $100-150

          • boomramada on 26/09/2023 - 18:44

            @Bearboi: Yeah but model number should be different, two different tech. But @Untameable referring as two different 49" which is correct isn't it?

            • Bearboi on 26/09/2023 - 19:05

              @boomramada: Well one is 1800r and 120hz and the other is 1000r 240hz. I mean.. they're different monitors lol. If Untameable was referring to the original G9 which was QLED then that's correct. But this is the CRG9 2018 which was release before the G9 2020.

              +3

              @boomramada: There’s four different ones
              1. CRG9 - Almost five years old, old blurry VA panel
              2. G9 - Stronger curve and much better motion performance at 240hz.
              3. G9 Neo - Same as the G9 with MiniLED and also now comes in a dual 4K 57 inch
              4. G9 OLED

        • Kelvin H. on 26/09/2023 - 20:14

          I can’t say I’ve had that issue, or either of my mates. Is your desk solid wood?

          • vodamerc on 26/09/2023 - 20:22

            @Kelvin H.: Not the base, the bit that you screw up on the back to change the tilt of the monitor. It can't hold the weight, slips and tilts forwards.

            Interesting that yours works out of the box, maybe they made some changes at some point.

    • Skullytor on 27/09/2023 - 01:28

      The stand for this is really good and versatile. I was concerned too in regards to how close it sits to me. I find that with a 70cm deep desk it's perfect. I first had a 60cm desk and it was just a bit too closed - so I lebt part of the monitor stand on the windowsill directly behind the desk it make up for the extra 10cm.

    This definitely qualifies as an OzBargain price wise. Personally, though, I don't understand why everyone seems to want superwide monitors (my preferred screen ratio is 16:10, I'm current using a 16:9 screen). Web sites are all made for portrait orientation cell phones. When doing productivity tasks I often find myself withing for more height rather than more width. Some 16:10 and 16:9 monitors have a stand that will let you pivot the monitor 90 degrees, which is useful is some situations.
