Kogan - 40" Curved Ultrawide WUHD 5K2K Freesync USB-C Monitor

\*\*VERDICT\*\* chassis build quality 7/10: its not bad, the monitor arm was a bit of a pain to get secured but once it is, it holds well. the corners of the monitor surround are a bit sharp on the plastics, and very tiny inconsistencies with the gaps between the bezel and the display. another thing which may have just been my one, the displayport on the monitor took ages to get working but turns out it's just physically a very tight fit and not much space around it, had to really push it in for it to register properly. now, no issues at 5k 75hz. :) UI 4/10: everythings just mapped weirdly but once you learn it, it does the job lol display 9/10: all weirdness aside, the panel itself is fantastic. maybe not the brightest but i usually sit in a darkened room anyway so no issues for me. no inconsistencies in the panel, no dead pixels, one thing is from certain angles there's a slight vignetting but in games/programs its not noticeable or distracting. overall: worth it/10 for the price it's going for at the moment ($680ish AUD). would buy again.

I think I have that monitor. I got it a couple of months ago. I also have an Acer X34P - I still play shooters on that, as it has a higher refresh rate, and I think the picture quality is a little nicer overall (even though it’s only 3440x1440), but the Kogan one still certainly gets the job done. I primarily got the Kogan one for productivity reasons, and it’s definitely great for standard office-work type stuff, and I do find myself using it for rocket league and OSRS. The picture settings can probably be calibrated to give it a slightly better picture quality… Looking at it side-by-side with my Acer, I would definitely take the Acer over the Kogan (this is strictly when talking about gaming, for productivity, I’d absolutely choose the Kogan), but I certainly wouldn’t be upset if I had to “settle” for the Kogan.
