⚠️ Limitations
❌ No true KVM – USB switching must be done manually via OSD
❌ Only 1-year warranty – no confirmed burn-in coverage, and Kogan support is slow and often difficult
⚠️ PBP (Picture-by-Picture) limited to 60Hz per input
⚠️ PIP/PBP layouts often reset after power or input changes
⚠️ No manual OLED panel refresh (auto only)
⚠️ Weak HDR brightness – True Black 400 is closer to SDR in practice
⚠️ Speakers are underwhelming (lack clarity and bass)
⚠️ Stand is prone to wobble – consider a VESA arm
⚠️ Rear RGB is dim and not visible during use
⚠️ No cable cover – basic clip only
⚠️ Ethernet port limited to 100 Mbps (USB dock passthrough only)

⚠️ 32:9 Compatibility Notes
❌ Consoles (PS5, Xbox, Switch) output in 16:9 only – black bars or stretched
⚠️ Many PC games don’t support 32:9 natively – may have UI bugs or forced 16:9
❌ Some competitive titles restrict FOV or ultrawide support (Valorant, Overwatch, Warzone)
⚠️ Streaming content (YouTube, Netflix) plays in 16:9 or 21:9 – will pillarbox
⚠️ Some creative apps (Premiere, Figma) may not scale well by default
⚠️ Legacy GPUs or OS setups may not detect 5120×1440 properly

🧬 OEM & Panel Info

This is a rebrand of a common OEM panel/ODM design used by:
MSI MPG 491CQP (around $1,499)
Gigabyte AORUS CO49DQ (around $1,499)
Prism+ 49AL (around $1,499)
Innocn 49Q1R (around $1,299)

All of these use the same Samsung Gen 2 144Hz QD-OLED panel (5120×1440).
The Kogan version shares the same internal hardware and chassis as Prism+ and Innocn, just with a shorter warranty and fewer frills.

    Thanks for all the detail in the post OP.
    Pretty cool seeing oled screen like that for near $1000.

      Good that they don't make the panels and there are only handful of reputed OEMs that manufacture OLED panels.

        they don't make anything so far as i understand, doesn't stop kogan branded gear piling up on hard rubbish piles

          That's why gotta be smart when buying from Kogan. I usually don't buy anything unless it's great value and has good reviews. My last purchase was a $29 mechanical RGB keyboard few years ago, which I'm typing from. Was great value at the time and still going strong.

    Warning: Only a 1 year warranty on a $1049 monitor

    • Xizor on 13/06/2025 - 21:48

      Warranty is borderline irrelevant. Know your consumer rights. That said i wouldn't buy a kogan monitor.

      • Hybroid on 14/06/2025 - 01:11
        +8

        All well and good, until you try to exercise those consumer rights with a near non-existent customer service team. ACCC don't hear individual cases, so what, we'll take them to xCAT for a monitor?

          I have had a few run ins with Kogan. They backed down and cooperated everytime. But agree their support processes are a dogs breakfast to deal with.

    Really interested though in saying that, the 1800R curve screen could be a real deal breaker.

      why

      • Dienk on 13/06/2025 - 20:58

        Too flat

      • Darude Sandstorm on 14/06/2025 - 16:26

        Too curved, I have a 1000R and it's perfect. I don't sit 1.8m away from my monitor

    • Phorest Grump on 13/06/2025 - 21:01

      As in its not enough curve?

      • pacificstorm on 13/06/2025 - 22:07
        +1

        Not curvey enough. You'd be glancing (moving your neck more) further to the left and right of the screen which would be really annoying and uncomfortable to do repeatedly.

  • Kazusa on 13/06/2025 - 20:41

    No burn in warranty on a 2nd gen panel (current gen is 4th with 5 stacks with much better power efficiency/less heat which means less burn in risk)

    • vinataba on 13/06/2025 - 21:22

      If you are looking for a 49” curved monitors with gen 3/4 QD-OLED panel, there seems to be none on the market at this moment

      https://tftcentral.co.uk/articles/gen-4-samsung-qd-oled-2025…

      Like all 49” curved OLED monitors on the market, even the Odyssey G93SD from Samsung is still using gen 2 panels :(.

      I am leaning to LG WOLED or 40” nano IPS

      • Kazusa on 13/06/2025 - 21:34

        2nd gen is fine the problem is the no burn in warranty on a more burn in prone panel

        • vinataba on 13/06/2025 - 21:38
          +1

          So far I see MSI is bold enough to provide 3 yr warranty including burn-in

      I don't think this is ideal for second graders, probably a bit much for them.

        It shows QD-OLED.~

  • easternculture on 13/06/2025 - 22:16

    Still kogan name, whatever the internals are

    Very poor resale value

    • cille745 on 13/06/2025 - 22:19

      It's OLED? It's going to have poor resale regardless

    • krisspy on 13/06/2025 - 22:24
      +8

      Damn people cycling through monitors so much that resale value is a thing?

      Here I am with a 3 and 6 year old monitor

      • Dollar Dreamer on 14/06/2025 - 00:52

        Reason is, OLED monitors is still a new thing and there are leaps and bounds improvement in OLED screen quality every 2 years. That is why we mention Gen 1,2,3,4 OLED panels. Without a high resale value, it will be impossible to get rid of it on Facebook Marketplace to get a new $1000 monitor.

    • hen dawg on 14/06/2025 - 11:25

      If you constantly change monitors that may factor in but I kept my Dell for 11 years before it died

  • Autonomic on 13/06/2025 - 22:40

    Will we see other OEMs selling these panels now too?

  • bozzabear on 13/06/2025 - 23:55
    +3

    I got the Samsung G91SD (equivalent specs) for $1051 about a month ago with $100 trade-in and stacked discounts (5% loyalty, 5% samsung pay). Their deals come up quite often if you can hang out for a genuine Samsung vs Kogan rebrand. Samsung EPP can be decent too if you can get access to EPP.

  • Blu2 on 14/06/2025 - 00:42

  • Panpanw on 14/06/2025 - 10:27

    This is Gen2 panel….Only Gen 2 has 49

  • bbhumfree on 14/06/2025 - 13:42

    Great panel, so if kogan has less of the crap that the samsung does, seems like a good value.

    I got my older samsung g95sc new for $897 and it was riddled with black screen and drop out issues no matter what quantum double gold plated etc etc cable I use. Same on differnet devices, shorter cables and after 5+ firmware updates. Mostly sorted now but I still get 1 drop out every month or so…

  • Tamagotchi Breeder on 15/06/2025 - 15:13

    In my past experience with Kogan monitors they have performed poorly, failed quickly and kogan customer service is absolutely useless.
    I've been stung too many times with Kogan to ever go back to them even for half the price of a brand name monitor.
    Got the dell 32" alienware QD-OLED on a sale a while back for not much more and it has been flawless and I know I can trust dell warranty/ support.
