Model: 49 CURVED GAMING MONITOR WITH 5120X1440 RESOLUTION; 120HZ REFRESH RATE; 32:9 ASP
Deal HistoryÂ
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Just gotta laugh at 120hz at 5120x1440 apparently isnt enough these days. This is like driving a 4k monitor almost at 120hz. You're not going to be pushing over 120fps in a ton of games at that resolution even with a very good GPU.
Make up some bullshit about how the high refresh rate and ultrawide form factor will reduce strain on your eyes and neck. It's a medical device, practically.
I have a normal length ultrawide from monoprice, an older one with a VA samsung panel. It works great, and has nice colors, and has been utterly reliable with 165hz refresh rate and 1440p. Ultimately I went back to having two 16:9 27 inch monitors with one centered and one off to the side, as it just made better sense to me ergonomically. I can't imagine using one of these ultra ultrawides. My brother uses that monoprice ultrawide and likes it alot.
Another downside to ultrawides is that alot of older titles will not play nice with them. Even a huge title that isn't ancient like Bioshock Infinite required third party patches to make it work in ultrawide.

I've had this monitor for more than a year. I've had no issues with it. I game in hyper competitive games like Warzone, I've got a 2021 PC build with an RTX 3090. It runs most games well, I typically shoot for 125 FPS given the 120 hz. Which I tried a few out 32" Monitors at 165hz and 144hz and I couldnt tell the difference. So I gave my wife the 165 monitor hand me down.
Couple things, I use this for work and home, two different desktops. The old work laptop I had couldn't handle the resolution, so I ran it as a PIP side by side monitor (Home Desktop Display port, and Work laptop, HDMI. That was fine. I had both setups running side by side (music etc). I could also run "Dual display" meaning two HDMI ports from my laptop at 1440P and that worked but only at a lousy 24-30hz due to laptop graphic card limitations. Eventually they got me a desktop with a 3070 GPU and it has no issue.
Over time I've purchased a DP Port Switch, so I can push a single button and toggle between home desktop and work desktop. Just a quality of life change, both rigs can push 120hz. But the monitor interface is less than stellar to switch things often.
Only game I've played that manages to struggle on it is Darktide Warhammer 40k, the RTX wizardry sucks. Warzone, Diablo 4, most other games I can still max out or get really crisp visuals at around 120fps. Warzone 2.0 isnt a very good optimized game either and is CPU intensive.
I got this monitor via Target, through 3rd party merchant service, that maybe an angle. What that enabled was an easy local return if I wasnt 100% happy. I paid about $700 for this monitor more than a year ago (And it was a steal).
You can run up to 4 different inputs, I got creative at one point (Fire Stick, PS4, Work PC, Personal PC) but it looks wonky at like 1080p in a narrow display.
I will say this does create stress on your neck because its not as curved as some Samsung monitors $300-400 more. Funny factor you never consider.
Last Gripe, I record video using nvidia shadow play. It cant record native video at 5440p. So when I play warzone I actually play at 3440px1440p (Center justified). So I can record videos easily and edit within the nvidia app. (So I adjust windows resolution to 3440p, load the game).
I've also had no issue using the nvidia control panel to do a custom display at 5120x1440p, or 3440px1440p at 135hz. But I cant tell the difference so I didn't bother long term.
I really enjoy games ultra wide if they support it. Deep rock, Warzone, various other titles support it or have mods from the community to support it.
100% would buy it at this price until the RTX 5xxx series come out and 4k at a high frame rate is reliable/justified. 3-5 years from now. I've been eyeballing a 4090 but just cant justify it given I have a great experience still with a RTX3090.
HDR is trash on this monitor, I haven't found a game that I've really appreciated the hassle to flip on that setting and appreciate. (maybe diablo? But Windows looks weird with it enabled)
Fun fact, after my wife saw me using the monitor for a few months and decided to buy a similar model off amazon on sale(AOG?) (~120hz). She uses it for work only but appreciate the ultra wide, and it NOT being very tall (4k tall). She has migraines and it worked well for her. My work setup was two 4k 32" monitors, but I prefer this 49" over that. I always share "App" not share my display though for privacy purposes.

I'm assuming these monitors need some specialized software installed if I wanted to mimic 2 or 3 monitors or is it driven through monitors firmware? Just wondering if I can use these for work since I cannot likely install any proprietary software in the work laptop.
I use display fusion to mimic 3 monitors. You could also use separate inputs and split it down the middle without any software.

Can you share details on which displayport switch you use?
