INNOCN 45C1R 45″ Ultrawide Curved Monitor

★★★★★ Excellent value at this price point. I have been thoroughly impressed with how well this monitor performs considering how (relatively) cheap it was. For this level of performance from most "well-known" brands, you'll be paying 2-3x as much. It certainly has a few quirks, but all of them can be overlooked considering the price.I spent a pretty penny upgrading my CPU and GPU this year, only to experience screen tearing on my 60fps monitor. Since there wasn't much room left in the budget, I settled for this "cheap-o" monitor and figured I'd upgrade in a few months if it was trash. As of right now, I will be keeping this monitor until it eventually fails. I'm actually considering getting another one so both displays are high refresh rate.Pros:* Excellent refresh rate (and adaptive sync)* Great color (especially if you play with the settings a little)* Needs limited setup (just a bit of menu time during first use and then never again for most users)* Dirt cheap compared to the same stats from other manufacturersNeutral:* Two red LED's on the front (great if your setup is red, but can be turned off otherwise)* The stand is not very tall or adjustable (about 3-4" off desk), but it's extremely solid construction and the monitor can be wall-mounted instead if you prefer. I personally have always used a riser so this doesn't bother me.* A few of the color mode presets (game, movie, FPS, RTS, etc) are pretty similar.Cons:* Menu navigation is hard to get used to. It's not intuitive at all, and it's easy to lose your place or select the wrong thing. You do get used to it over time, but changing from game mode to movie mode for example is not exactly quick.* If you select the wrong language during first startup (very easy to do), then it's quite annoying to figure out how to change it back to English. If this happens to you, language is the top/first setting under the "OSD" sub-menu.* There is a slight "second bezel" effect around the screen. By this I mean that the actual illuminated display area does not quite run from bezel-to-bezel. There is about a 4mm black border around the entire screen. Honestly I saw some reviews complain about this but I don't even notice it during use. Honestly in practice it just looks like the monitor has a slightly thicker bezel than it actually does.Overall, really cannot recommend this monitor enough for a budget gaming setup.

★★★★★ Perfect Monitor. So being a brand I've never heard of before I was of course skeptical that it could be good quality. It is perfect. So for the first few days playing around with the monitor settings I got the colors looking the way I wanted (and the color is better than my MSI monitor I replaced). Even though it looked great already I just couldn't see a difference in what the mini led panel did any different than a regular LCD monitor. I eventually found the "local dimming" setting under the game setting and it was then I understood why mini led was a big deal. The black levels are so good it looks like the screen is off. When the screen is all black with a few white words on the screen they do look dimmer than normal, but there's a local dimming contrast setting that helps that. For over half the price off compared to an OLED monitor, this is more than worth it. I'm still in awe at the quality while I'm gaming. It's really one of a kind if you're looking for all the features. The sound bar is lackluster compared to a real soundbar, but there are 3 sound profiles to choose from (I use game) and any of them sound better than your typical built in monitor speakers. I bought mine used like new and it felt brand new the way it was packaged. Have been recommending this to all of my friends with PCs.

★★★★☆ No Remote but. This comes without a remote. However, the little blue button at the bottom of the screen does all of the same functions. Best used as a computer monitor, because of that. The base is a solid 3 pronged wide base and the unit is super stable - the one thing I was looking for. The screen and design are beautiful. Works with games and internet usages. The back panel is a little awkward, as it needs to be installed after everything is assembled, so I just left it off. Installation is easy and should come together in 4 or 5 minutes, but it looks so wrong. I have issues with Screens tipping over, and this mount is genius.
