Quote from R3DTR1X :
Where can I get this mythical AOC 49"? Nobody will take my $$$

I was lucky and bought mine from Amazon on release date back in December.


Couple of things to note:


It's not G-sync compatible. You'll have to force it to run G-sync via the Nvidia control panel.


For some reason, the built-in on screen crosshair is off by about 3 pixels to the right. It's super super annoying, but there is no way I was going to try and exchange it for that. I don't use it anymore.


The volume for the speakers is wonky. hard to tell when it's muted vs not muted and you have to use the remote.


HDR is kind of a joke, it's definitely not bright enough to qualify.


Overall, highly recommended for all types of gaming. It's had zero issues with gaming and ultra ultra widescreen resolutions.


Not sure why people don't think this Monoprice monitor is as good as the AOC. The specs are exactly the same. Maybe I'm missing something.

I'm willing to put money down that this is a Chinese knock-off of the CRG9. Basically, they bought leftover Samsung display panels and rewrapped it in a new bezel and stand, slapped their logo on it, and boxed it up.

Edit: https://www.displayspecifications...l/89fd1715

Literally the exact same display panel of the CRG9. LSM490YP02

Here's your chance to get a CRG9 but with a different bezel and stand.

Not buying because it has a "dark matter" brand. That sounds fiendish. Games are supposed to spread love and not war and killing.

Unfortunately not, because you had already cleaned out the pharmacy for your needs.

Just a quick PSA, I don't believe this works with a MacBook Pro 13". I was about to buy the Samsung CRG9 (my employer has a discount), but read many complaints that MacBook Pros with integrated graphics cards can't display at native resolution at 5K wide. Instead they are stuck at 3840x1080.

This is despite the fact that Apple specs indicate that it should work. Supposedly this is a driver issue that Apple has yet to fix.

Because of this, I purchased the Dell 43" last week, which has been amazing from a productivity perspective. I don't use this for gaming, but have 6-7 windows open at any given time.

There are no reviews of this monitor anywhere. I just jumped the gun and it should be delivered tomorrow. Hope it isn't bad and even if it is, the return policy should hopefully take care of me.

So why would the Samsung be G-Sync compatible but this would wouldn't if they are the same panel?

I've had this monitor for a few days now, it is the same panel as the CRG9 but without the local dimming zones so HDR is crap on it. The CRG9 is HDR1000 while this has a maximum of 400 nits, not even HDR VESA certified like the samsung. So the panel is the same, just no local dimming zones.

So if you want to save 300-400 dollars and don't care about a fancy stand, height adjustable stand, usb hub, and HDR, get this (when it comes back in stock)

Gsync is a chip that gets added on. panels dont come with them already on.
