UPDATE 12-30-2025: 1 year of use and it is still going strong, no issues. Great monitor for work! Original review: I looked on at the curved monitor craze with amusement for a few years before finally deciding to try it. At home I had been using one large 27” 4k monitor that I would toggle between my work Windows laptop and personal Mac laptop. Then I ended up adding another 24” Dell 1080 monitor to get more work real estate. Figured that would do for now but the mismatch and seam was a bit annoying. Found this INNOCN 49” curved monitor as a Black Friday deal and went for it. Easy setup, works perfectly for me. Not a gamer, so I’m not sure how well it would do there. But it works great via USB-C from my work Dell Latitude 5500 w/ the Thunderbolt support. And I have it going usb-c from the Mac to DisplayPort, which gives the faster 120mhz support. Easy to switch between inputs using the menu buttons. The stand legs are thin and unobtrusive. It doesn’t emit much heat at all. So far no odd behavior after about a month of daily use. Only mild annoyance is that after a time it seems to go to sleep and then it disconnects from the work laptop which causes all the windows to move back to the laptop screen when I log back in. I’m not sure if that is the monitor’s fault or a Dell thing. Regardless I highly recommend this as a solid basic and inexpensive 49” QHD curved monitor for productivity use. Just make sure your computer can support it, and remember it only has one USB-C input. But using DisplayPort is also available and would give you the better refresh rate, without the benefit of a wired USB keyboard/mouse connected straight to monitor.

I will return to update this review in 6-12-18-24 months. Wow! I’m absolutely impressed with this monitor. Note that I’m NOT a gamer, I’m a trader and needed a wider monitor to run my active charts on TradingView, and that is accomplished well by this monitor. I could not be happier. That is essentially the only reason I got this. More Detail: I picked this up on a fantastic deal and I’ve gotta say I will never go back to a flat panel again. The quality is right up there with any Samsung or higher end Acer monitor, this one has a matte screen and there are many intuitive controls for adjustments. This is not a 5k monitor, thats a gimmick, and so is the “eye saver” feature which seems like a passably dumb sepia filter, but for the money if you need a wide monitor this is a contender. I havent explored all the color adjustments, for my purposes its not essential. The build quality is good, the box it ships in is sturdy not flimsy, the stand snaps right in, no need for screws. Comes with a VESA mount bracket. It may be a tad on the heavy side for smaller people to handle and assemble, so have a burly friend like me around to help if you’re in that category. It’s Apple friendly and Mac compatible: I’m running this natively at 5120 x 1440p hooked up via USB-C cable to a 2018 Mac Mini with 64gb of ram. Unfortunately the 2018 Mac Mini uses DP1.2 so you’re best bet may still be your Thunderbolt USB-C port to connect this monitor. But hey, that aint too shabby. And the upside is that it supports the default 5120 x 1440p resolution without any extra apps or external graphics cards needed. You may get WAY better options going with an external graphics card. I’ll check back in later, hope this review is helpful to some. Happy monitor hunting!

Awesome Ultrawide Value. I use this monitor for excel, outlook, chrome, teams, and other apps related to my work. My previous setup consisted of 2x 32" monitors (1x1080p and 1x1440p) and my 17" laptop (also 1080p). The 49" size is a much better fit for my desk and far more simple to setup, not to mention Windows has an easier time dealing with 1 monitor instead of 3. Since this monitor is 1440p, I actually ended up with about the same screen real-estate as I had before. Aside from the size and resolution, the color is quite good (HDR is non existent, just leave it in SDR mode) and the contrast is very good. This is also by far the cleanest and fastest VA panel I've seen. The pixel reaction performance and input lag feel comparable to IPS, but with the awesome contrast performance of a VA panel. Since this is used in an office, I didnt want a monitor with "enthusiast gamer" vibes. This one is very reserved, with just a couple red accents spread throughout. For the money, you can't beat this screen size and it's performance. Awesome contrast, color, sharpeness, and screen real-estate for around $500 and no OLED burn in concerns. Not bad!
