  • @hartoz
    @hartoz 3 года назад +5

    I had one of these, and for productivity it was amazing. However for gaming, it was not so good.
    A lot of games do not support this aspect ratio, and a lot of those that do give a very distorted image on the edges.
    A lot of the time you end up playing games at 2560x1440p and end up playing with a 2 large blank bars.
    When set you G-Sync compatibility (as this is a Freesynch Premium monitor), the result is not always effective, often I would have to lock framerates to get the best result. HDR output is not that good because it's not 10bit.
    After 6mo I ended up buying an 38" Ultrawide instead (Alienware) which has a better picture, 144hz, HDR600 and G-Sync Ultimate.
    The AG49UCX is pretty good for most things, especially if you use MS Powertoys to allow window tiling (Its nice to run Word, Email, and a web browser at the same time).
    Also remember that watching movies or videos on this aspect ratio is not very good.
    There will never be proper game support for this monitor, as its too niche.

  • @Panj0
    @Panj0 4 года назад +4

    The horrific fov-induced-stretching at the edges is a deal breaker for me - I'd hate to game on that . I have a triple screen setup but I almost never game with them in nvidia surround mode, for this reason. Triple screens are great for games/simulators that have proper multi-monitor support, but I suppose it isn't even possible to set this up like that because it can only act as two screens.

    HDR 400 isn't a gimmick when it's a true 10 bit monitor, and can actually ATTAIN 400 nits peak brightness. I had an Acer Predator that was only HDR 400, but had true 10 bit color depth, easily passed the shadow of the tomb raider test, and doom eternal test.

I just wish VA wouldn't be so bright so it would satisfy my eyes for nighttime gaming. My budget is $200-400 USD I mainly game and I also watch videos/anime. Reading is another benefactor too.
    Currently on my idea list I have the
    Samsung g5- odyssey( i know this isn't UW but its $299 rn)

    I've own the 35" 120hz version and please don't buy this brand. More cons than pros just saying. The first one are the stand... they are stupidly bulky design which will take up all your desk and if you have 19" depth table good luck. LED goes out after 1 yr right after warranty expired of course. OSD is just shit. The price isn't much cheaper compared to big brand like Samsung so since you're already spend this much may as well go big or go home but dont go for this shit. Panel color isn't that great and will need ton of time to calibrate.

    I used my 29" AOC Q2963PM (2560x1080) 21:9 IPS monitor for many years, I like how immersive 21:9 ultrawide monitors are in games. The main problem with ultrawides are that most new AAA games don't support it, I had trouble getting- Sekiro: shadows die twice, Monster hunter world, Ace combat 7, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom, Devil May cry 5 to work since those games don't fully support ultrawide monitors. My only fix was to upgrade to a 4k (3840 x 2160) 16:9 Gaming monitor, since so many game developers refuse to add ultrawide support into their games...

There are some free demos (of new games) that do not support ultrawide. I had to change the .ini config in Oblivion to support 21:9. After that it worked fine. I could list a hundred games than support 21:9. All the games on my channel were recorded in 2560x1080. ruclips.net/channel/UCec-h4Ic-PNRp6hjMBJLxpAvideos

    just a reminder when you mention usb and display port you need to mention what version of it it is... display port/hdmi 1.3, 1.4, 2.0 usb2.0, 3.0 etc...

    I've a curved monitor but it's not the ultrawide type but It does 4k and whatnot so I'm good for now... the one you got there might be a bit too wide for me tbh! But it does look nice aesthetically though!

    A tips for a ultrawide monitor to test: LG 38GN950, you will not be disapointed

    Don't buy a 49 in ultrawide unless you play racing games like he said. The side are blurry and gets clearer toward the center. I find 34' is perfect for ultrawide. Returned my CRG49 and went oled 4K

    Would you recommend using three 16:9 monitors side by side?

  • @martijnnvt6949
    @martijnnvt6949 3 года назад

    Are 32:9 monitors capable of let's say... 3440x1440? Or 2580x1080? Sometimes you want to scale things down because of fps issues, but not wanting to get to 16:9 scale, but 21:9 instead.

    monitor such as that should have a 3090 running it but still wait for the better version - right ?

    Do you think these response times are going to be an issue for racing sims/games?

    Very good review really! You mentioned all the important factors for me. The response time was too high and price tag was too high when you can get a better monitor for not much more. When I buy a expensive monitor I want 10 bit and HDR as well. I was a little bit interesting in this monitor before, now I think I'll wait for a better/bigger one. I do have 2x 34" MSI Optix monitors today. Maybe I want to replace them in the near future.
