Man, I've been wanting to pull the trigger on a 49" like this for some time. How excellent of a deal is this that I'm obligated to?

So I have a 49" LG Superwide screen like this, and it's awesome. The problem with this monitor is that the panel is VA, hence the lower price and higher refresh rate. The Ultragear branding is therefore somewhat misleading.

I personally have the one below and love it, although the curvature is more flat really. However, it has bright nice colors with nanoIPS panel and 144Hz refresh rate.

I don't know about this monitor in particular. But the Samsung G9 49" ultra wide is cheaper than this pretty regularly so it doesn't feel like a screaming deal.

Only thing I've questioned on these is the displayport version. 1.4 can do 16:9 4k@120hz. So, 1080p@240hz. This is right in the middle but the equivalent to two 16:9 1440p monitors. Wouldn't dp2.0 be more appropriate?

DP 2.0 hasn't really come out on monitors yet. Nvidia also cheaped out on 4000 series in many ways, including the absence of DP 2.0

5120x1440 works out to a similar pixel count to 4k, and for both at 10 bit + 240hz, you need HDMI 2.1 with DSC or DP 1.4 with DSC at min. So the ports are adequate, but just barely. Without it, they max out at 4k 10 bit 120hz.

Performance-wise, this monitor is basically the CRG9 with a higher refresh rate and more modern ports. Has the same horrible local dimming issues due to the lack of a dense miniLED array. But you'd have to upgrade to the Neo G9 Odyssey to get that.

The VA panel on these and the Samsung QLED models is quite good. Viewing angles are narrow but colors are quite rich and the contrast is better than IPS. Has some issues with color inaccuracies due to QLED actually overshooting the color targets, but overall, quite good.

Text rendering is meh due to the matte screen and the irregular subpixel layout but its fine for most people. Smearing is often an issue on cheaper VA panels but pretty controlled here.

Weighs less than the G9. Maybe the $200ish Ergotron LX would work instead of the $400ish HX.
