Kogan currently has 10% off on a range of products bringing their 49" monitor down to $863 before shipping.
Info:
Immersive display with Dual QHD Curved Ultrawide with 5120 × 1440 resolution
60Hz refresh rate
IPS panel for superior contrast
Uncompromising colour quality with 99% sRGB and 79% DCI-P3 colour gamut
65W USB-C port allows for quick charging
Yeah and 60hz and not greatest colours. Bad for gaming but probably good price for a large office monitor as FHD ones are often seen at this price range.
This deal was definitely better value:
I guess I won't be getting home
Shouldn't matter for 60Hz panel no? 1000/60 > 14 so it would behave the same with a shorter response time. Unless that's their best case scenario response time in which case lol.
Dont mind large monitors like this for work. Only prob is travelling and trying to vpn into work…..laptop mon shows barely a strip
Agree. I'm using 4K and when sharing my screen to other work mate everyone (theirs are FHD at best) complaining can't see anything…
Are you able to set windows resolution to 1080p before sharing to fix it?
I can but I'm doing work (not just presenting slides) so using 1080 on my monitor isn't good
I sometimes do that on purpose.
But I ended up using two 27"s to avoid any issues - if this monitor has multiple inputs you may be able to two screen it like my G9.
Can’t you just share an app window rather than share the full screen?
Nope I need full screen because there are multiples apps plus excels to share
@CyberMurning: I hear people keep a cheap 1080 24" for this very purpose. Still an absolute headache if you have to do 'work' and not just for presenting
That's why you share a specific window instead
What happens when you VPN to work with something like this?
I don't want to see products from the brand Kogan on my desktop every day.
Might be a silly question but can you have the monitor show 2 different inputs on each half of the screen?
E.g. 1x laptop input on the left and a different laptop on the right.
Highly doubt it - usually it's advertised as 'PIP' or 'picture in picture'.
dell 34" has it.
I don't think this allows it but I guess you could use something like taskviewer to mimic this if it's not for gaming.
Yes you can. Pip or split half. Just check the monitor has those feature. My 34 Phillips 4k has
Got it. Thanks all!
these are lg and samsung panels from an older line of production.
60hz. Nah
how far away from this monitor do you have to sit
1.5m is ok
I would say 50-70cm is ok for work. Maybe a bit further when gaming.
It's the same as two 27 inch monitors side by side. Which is a pretty normal set up these days.
I'm using the Samsung one at home and the Kogan older version at work.
Colour quality wise the kogan is average at best. I sit about 60cm from the monitor and both work and game is fine.
I bought the Kogan second hand about 3 years ago and it's still working fine so I'm guessing quality isn't that bad.
