Innocn 49Q1R | 49-inch | 5120 x 1440p | 144 Hz | OLED | 1800R curved | $999.99$799.99 at Amazon (save $200)
Though the sale on Amazon says this monitor retails for $999.99, Innocn's site says it retails at $1,199.99, so you might actually be getting an even better deal than we thought. Either way, getting an OLED 1440p 49-inch ultrawide monitor for this much is super solid, and it's pretty much the best deal on a monitor at this price point.
Price check: Innocn $999.99
I've been pining after a really nice second monitor to replace a pretty mediocre one for about a month but part of me thinks I may just be better off with one huge curved screen to rule them all do my daily work and gaming on. With over $200 off, Innocn might just have the best-priced choice out of its price range.
Over at Amazon right now, you can get the Innocn 49Q1R for $800, which is $200 cheaper than its retail price of $1,000. It has many standout features so let's start at the top of the list. This thing has an OLED panel capable of 5120 x 1440 resolution. OLED screens provide their own backlight, as opposed to LED, which makes them a more expensive bit of tech but also gives deeper blacks and a sharper contrast between colors.
This, paired with the panel being 5120 x 1440p means it should look crisp and sharp. With a refresh rate of 144 Hz and a super-fast 0.03 ms response time, it should also be plenty snappy for gaming.
The 1800R curvature of the screen will help the whole screen feel a bit more immersive, which combines with the major selling point: Ultrawide monitor allows you to cram more things on screen which is not only great for productivity but gives a new dimension to games you play. RPGs with strategy elements Like Baldur's Gate 3 and 4X games like Civilization 6 work particularly well, as they give you more information to look at, but so do first-person shooters like Cyberpunk2077.
The one major thing you have to watch out for with ultrawides is some games (especially older ones)
