Looks like an ATL by about $100 as far as I can see, plus you get $100 Mwave store credit (not sure on conditions for use of that). Google said delivery was going to be $14.95. Also looks to be a somewhat boosted cashback of 1.7% (from normal 0.6%) at CashRewards today.

Surcharges: 1% Card & PayPal.

Alternately you may be able to price-beat at OW if a store near you has stock (which is what I did), or try a price-match at JB, HN, Bing Lee, etc.

I have only just ordered it so can't provide any first hand feedback, but it has everything I am after in a super-ultrawide monitor and reviews look good. Copy and paste of the features summary from a previous post below, some of which I have updated with extra info:

  • This monitor has a 44.5” DQHD, 32:9, ultra-wide, 1500R curved display with a 5120 x 1440 resolution.
  • It features a 165 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time.
  • It's compatible with 100 x 100 VESA mounts.
  • It has 2 x in-built 3 W speakers.
  • It has 2 x HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4 port and 1 x USB-C port, 1 x 3.5 mm AUX, RJ45port and includes a DP and a USB-A to USB-B cable.
  • Enjoy the convenience of single-cable docking and simultaneous 75 Watts charging using our fully-equipped USB-C port.
  • Enjoy completely stutter-free gameplay, powered by AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Adaptive Sync technologies.
  • Boost your productivity to new heights by harnessing a range of tools such as True Split, KVM, and PIP/PXP.

    It's 170hz not 165

    • djkelly69 on 22/04/2024 - 12:49

      165 native, 170 overdrive which has to be manually selected and only last for 30 minutes. Also potatoes/potatos.

      • Axelstrife on 22/04/2024 - 12:50

        only last for 30 minutes

        Seriously?

          Sorry, if left idle for 30 minutes, my bad.

            @djkelly69: If it's anything like the RF25F-30, then it'll revert back in 30mins automatically, and there's nothing you can do about it - idle or not. You can turn it on manually again but it's very frustrating if you're in a game, wouldn't recommend using it for an extra 5hz. It's basically a marketing tickbox.

    Why is this named like engine oil

    • jv on 22/04/2024 - 13:06

      It's synthetic…

      • 4foxache on 22/04/2024 - 16:30

        Stranger things have happened, its engine oil backwards

      Let me put my tin foil hat on. It's because the monitor has a viscosity of 45 at low temperatures and 30 at normal running temperatures.

      It must be the same department that created the McLaren MP4-12C name.

      Ultrawide screen. You know what I mean.

    Not a fan of the resolution, almost as hard as 4k to drive

    • killingtime on 22/04/2024 - 13:41

      its 2024, you still can't drive 4k?

      • ThirtySixNights on 22/04/2024 - 13:44
        +3

        Yeah but not for games at 175hz sadly, can't all get a 4090

        • killingtime on 22/04/2024 - 14:11

          oh. I didn't realize you meant 175hz 4k. Can't you just do a lower framerate, 4k 60/90?

            +1

            @killingtime: yeah totally, not much point in the monitor though, definitely worth saving a few bucks and getting something 1440p and being able to run high fps there.

            this is definitely for those with a 4090 or close

      • Ryugen on 22/04/2024 - 17:32

        I play everything on 1080p medium - low. Disposable income is not good atm.

    2 x 24 inch side by side equivalence

  • AustriaBargain on 22/04/2024 - 13:16

    Bigger is always better for curved ultra wide.

    You have to use the mwave store credits within 6 months. Otherwise, it will expire.

  • BennyHe2018 on 22/04/2024 - 13:28

    I reckon price beat at Officework may be the best option because you can get another 5% off and use 10% off ultimate gift cards plus flybuys points.

    • jv on 22/04/2024 - 13:53
      +1

      plus flybuys points.

      5x flybuys points if you have OnePass…

  • jasswolf on 22/04/2024 - 13:36

    The improved pixel density in the QHD ultrawide class is welcomed, and the response time is decent for VA without being spectacular.

    Even at an effective $799, I'm not sure this is the play, but it's solid value for those who can make the most of the typical use case (non-HDR productivity workflow with some gaming on the side).

  • Flognuts on 22/04/2024 - 13:52

    These are not gaming panels, the black smearing is intolerable.
    Might be okay for excel spreadsheets and day trading.

      Nah, when you do pivot tables, the black smearing is intolerable.

    Has all the bells and whistles, even included a KVM switch. Damn…

  • GrantEmmerson on 22/04/2024 - 14:08

    Whats the better choice? Officeworks price match ( 5% and flybuys) or mwave and its $100 credit?

    • killingtime on 22/04/2024 - 14:14

      I would go mwave credit. I want a ssd though

    • nuwancp on 22/04/2024 - 14:33

      I just price matched at officeworks. Its $901 (after 5%) as they have to consider shipping cost as this is an online only deal. I still went through knowing officeworks is good at returns if there are any issues.

      • djkelly69 on 22/04/2024 - 14:47
        +3

        OW beat the $899 for me, no shipping asked about or added! YMMV

        • sigma on 22/04/2024 - 16:02

          Can you please share the officeworks URL?

          I couldn't find on their website.

    It's hard to compare monitor sizes sometimes, so here is a good site to help visualise the monitor size: https://www.displaywars.com/44,5-inch-32x9-vs-27-inch-16x9

    I own a 27 inch, so it's slightly shorter, but almost twice as long

    • parker2004au on 22/04/2024 - 19:33

      If they're both "x9" how are they different heights?

      • Zythyx on 23/04/2024 - 08:06

        Ratios. 32x9 and 16x9 is the ratio of the monitor, not the height/length.

    • mfu on 23/04/2024 - 09:25

      thanks for the link. really helpful.

    • bangabargain on 23/04/2024 - 10:24

      That link is a great help, I have a 43" TV as a monitor, thought this would be more real estate, but it is much less!

  • rusteh on 22/04/2024 - 19:31

    I'm running a 4k 34" non curved Ultra wide + a 24" today. Both are quite old. I'm a software dev, no gaming or graphics works. Would this be an upgrade?

    • parker2004au on 22/04/2024 - 19:34

      What 34" monitor is 4k?

      • rusteh on 22/04/2024 - 19:48

        Sorry, it's 3,440 x 1,440

    • mfu on 23/04/2024 - 09:23

      I was thinking the same, but then I prefer monitor that can be used portrait to read the console log. May be I'll buy this and use the old one as portrait.

  • sigma on 25/04/2024 - 14:03

    Any recommendations for USB-C Gen2 that supports 5120x1440 @ 165 Hz and power delivery ?

  • LurvinOZB on 27/04/2024 - 11:05

    What would be a good monitor/ configuration the add to this as a second monitor? Height of this R45 is kinda short.
