INNOCN - 40 Inch 5K 5120 x 2160p Ultrawide Monitor (40C1U)

Just wanted to share my initial reaction to the new Innocn 40” 5K2K flat ultrawide. Set it up today and did some design work on it. I primarily do landscape design, graphic design, and modeling. I’m not a gamer nor a super techy person. Just someone who likes a bigger screen. Came from a 32” Samsung M7 which was not great lol. I wanted more screen real estate while keeping the height, which is important for working on large designs. This monitor seems to be ALMOST too big to be flat. I will need some more time with it but it feels on the edge of being too wide to not be curved. I noticed that having windows on either side just felt a little strange to look at (idk if that is just me getting used to the different angle or if it was a poor viewing angle).The picture quality at the edges is good, but I can tell I’m looking at it at a sharper angle. Text and image clarity is great, and colors are great. I didn’t find anything ddc controls on the monitor so my Logitech keyboard couldn’t natively control the brightness, only the volume? Not sure what that is about. I’m looking forward to using this more and seeing if I get used to the larger screen. Overall, I’m very excited and happy with it and think it’s a great monitor for the $750 I paid for it.

So for my work flow, the 32” allowed me to have one design program full screen (illustrator, rhino, sketchup, cad) and that was a perfect size. However, very often I needed to have an additional window open or two that I would be using as reference or something. On the 32” to make that reference window useful, the design program window became annoyingly small. Now I can have that large windows for everything lol hard to explain. It’s just more screen so better. The aggressive curve on most ultrawides messes with me on a lot of the drawing programs I use and the dell ultra wide has a very gentle curve which I was considering but is $2000. The Innocn 40” is on the cusp of being too big to be flat like I said but I really do think it’s a great size. Any bigger and it would be a problem. I suggest you buy and try it! The price is great still at $1000. As far as 100hz goes, It’s smoother for sure than the 60hz on the M7. I’m pretty sensitive to it so unnoticed a difference.

Honestly do yourself a favor and try this one out I really like it!

All ports are on the bottom

Check out innocn 40” 5k2k IPs, dirt cheap compared to others which are double its price. I was surprised when a person in this sub posted about it. That may work well for work for half the price of the Dell or lg versions.

I know …. I hope a reviewer does a proper review on it but, they tend to not do reviews for not well known companies. If I didn’t have 3 34” ultrawides already….. I would be salivating for that monitor. Edit: who am I kidding. I want it still … haha. From a pc hog to a monitor hog.. how times change.
