      It only seems like a decent price until the 'fun' begins once you open the box. It is Kogan crap, just like the rest of their crap.

      The 34" isn't WUHD (5120x2160).

      • catbin on 13/05/2024 - 01:47

    how do most games work with 5k?

    • kungfuman on 13/05/2024 - 06:50
      +6

      Its not for games its a creators monitor for video editing and photo editing

      • DreadEmperor on 15/05/2024 - 12:10

        Given that it's curved- Would argue it's not for creators either.

        • bleeder on 22/05/2024 - 11:59

          What's the disadvantage of curved for creators? I'm looking at monitors and do a lot of 3D monitors, never tried curved before

    • veetor on 13/05/2024 - 11:20
      +1

      Not great, honestly. Modern AAA games will usually support the resolution to some extent, but some might require FOV tweaking. A lot of Unity/Unreal developers will default to your resoluton but zoomed in so that it's unplayable. Expect to play indie games windowed or scaled at 16:9 with heavy use of launch options to get them going.

    • downforce on 13/05/2024 - 12:31

      Having a 49" AOC 5k - mixed results.

      Most games play pretty good, a few have been unplayable (looking at Ace Combat Skies) and others are definitely playable but the sides are either stretched or cropped.

      Overall though I'd say it's a good experience though and newer games are definitely more accommodating!

      • witheredcouch on 14/05/2024 - 15:43
        +2

        Keep in mind that a 49" 5k is different to this 5k.

        Whilst both are over 5k pixels wide, your monitor is essentially two 27" 1440P monitors side by side whereas this is essentially just under 1 and a half 32" 4k monitors. This is likely to have more game support assuming you have the power for it as 21:9 ultrawides have been common for years, whereas 32:9 like yours are a lot newer.

        To show the size difference between the two.
        https://www.displaywars.com/49-inch-32x9-vs-40-inch-21x9

        Regarding power, a 49" is 7,372,800 pixels whereas this is 11,059,200 so there is a lot more to drive.

    Damn thats the cheapest 10 bit monitor I have seen good creators monitor

    • Randolph Duke on 13/05/2024 - 10:08

      Just cause it’s 10bit doesn’t guarantee it’s an accurate enough monitor. Interesting enough it covers 99% of sRGB and not a wider gamut.

      • kungfuman on 13/05/2024 - 14:14

        yeah I didn't say it was lol I just said it was the cheapest lol. I for one will still hold on my LG ultrafine 5k thunderbolt monitor still going strong for me.

        • Randolph Duke on 13/05/2024 - 14:21

          If it's not accurate it's not a good creators monitor.

            @Randolph Duke: I don't know a beginner could make use of it. Youtubers starting out tend to not know much about colour grading to begin with.

  • mynamewahhhwahh on 13/05/2024 - 07:48

    I use this for work, so good.

    One downside is that I've already returned one for an issue with power or panel, causing flickering. It was like it was running at 10hz. New screen arrived in a couple of days and then I returned the broken one.

    Seeing as comparison monitors are 3-4 times the price, it feels worth it.

    Just remember USB C connection doesn't do video on Mac, it's in their notes.

    • adinico on 13/05/2024 - 08:17

      That sounds weird if it's only video over USB C issue for Mac alone, I've looked over the manual I can't see any note about this limitation.

      • mynamewahhhwahh on 14/05/2024 - 12:07

        https://help.kogan.com/hc/s/article/ConnectingToAMonitorUsin…

        Finally found the article:
        Apple devices like the new MacBook support Thunderbolt 3 Alt-Mode only, and are unfortunately not compatible with the DisplayPort Alt-Mode utilised by these monitors. In this case, it is recommended that you make use of a USB-C to HDMI/DisplayPort adaptor instead of a direct USB connection. For information about connecting a Mac to a monitor please follow check this guide: How Do I Connect A Mac Computer To My Monitor?

    • qwijibo on 13/05/2024 - 09:07

      How onerous is the return process?

      These are only 25% of the cost of a Dell/Lenovo equivalent, so it's worth the gamble as long as I don't get a dud … and then get a replacement dud.

      • mynamewahhhwahh on 14/05/2024 - 12:10
        +2

        Took a few days for CS to reply, but I had posted photos and videos and a long list of what I had tried. Effectively skipping ahead on the usual questions.

        Once replacement was confirmed, it was sent 2 days after the replacement order was created and delivered in 2 days, so 4 day turnaround once you beat the CS boss and get a replacement.

    • lycheetea on 13/05/2024 - 10:08

      do you reckon it'll do video over USB C on any other relatively modern laptops? Got a 2022 HP work laptop

    • ozlegacy on 13/05/2024 - 13:39

      What notes are you referring to I can't see anything saying USB C wont work on Macs for that monitor?

      • Alexxx on 13/05/2024 - 14:57
        +1

        There is a well known issue with Macs not playing nice with non-Apple USB C connections. Lots of comments on the dell USB C monitors about the issue.

        • Averell on 13/05/2024 - 17:13
          +2

          I have used at least 5 different Dell monitors/docs, and also about 5 different Macbook Pro models, have never got a single issue with USBC.

        • CheapAddict on 13/05/2024 - 17:17
          +2

          I use usb-c as a primary connection to connect to this monitor to my MacBook Pro (Apple Silicon). Works fine and used daily.

          I did however have initial issues detecting the monitor from my Mac. I had to connect via DP first then switch to USB-C. I figure it was the defaulted resolution or display mode was unsupported. Once it detected it connected fine over the other ports.

          I bought this monitor specifically for my mac since low res monitors look terrible and High DPI mode is the only acceptable display mode on a Mac.

  • poglet on 13/05/2024 - 09:41

    Would it be worth upgrading the 'Dell 34 Curved Gaming Monitor – S3422DWG' to this monitor? The VA panel on the Dell is terrible, I couldn't believe they were still so bad (I previously had IPS for 10 years). But the Dell has 144hz and and is higher.

    • Shanetrain on 13/05/2024 - 09:43
      +1

      Gaming wise I'd say stick with the Dell. You will notice the drop to 60hz.

    • themagician on 13/05/2024 - 10:11

      can you describe what's wrong with the Dell as was thinking of getting that one to hook ups to a Mac mini.

      • poglet on 13/05/2024 - 10:25

        There is too much ghosting / smearing when gaming compared to my old IPS monitor. Otherwise, it's fine.

    • CheapAddict on 13/05/2024 - 10:38
      +1

      Funny you mention this because i actually got rid of my Dell S3422DWG and replaced with this exact monitor.

      As a gaming monitor, stay away unless your Graphics card can handle it and dont mind 75hz. My son's Fortnite crashes with an RTX3080 likely due to insufficient VRAM. HDMI is also atrocious with terrible refresh rate.

      For work it's amazing, very sharp and great screen real estate. A bargain for a 5k screen.

  • cycleri3 on 13/05/2024 - 09:50

    Only 40Hz on the HDMI port? According to the manual https://assets.kogan.com/files/usermanuals/KAMN40DQUCWA_UG_V…

    • spartso on 13/05/2024 - 10:01

      from page 13, for anyone else wondering:

      HDMI Support up to 45Hz at 5120*2160

    • CheapAddict on 13/05/2024 - 10:31
      +1

      This is correct, I have this monitor and HDMI is atrocious. Even when not gaming the motion is horrible. I use only the USB-C and DisplayPort for my 2 machines and they are fine.

      • cycleri3 on 13/05/2024 - 13:24

        What scale do you use this monitor at? Is 100% possible or 125%.

        • CheapAddict on 13/05/2024 - 13:30

          225% on Windows and 3840 x 1620 display scaling on my Mac

          100% is possible but is too small for any 2160p screen even at this size.

          • witheredcouch on 14/05/2024 - 12:54

            @CheapAddict: I run 100% scaling in windows on dual 32" 2160p screens and have never had an issue, upping the scaling just feels like giving up valuable real-estate

              +1

              @witheredcouch: I realised i actually have it at 150% on Windows (225% on Windows VM - Parallels due to macOS scaling) although 100% is still too small for my liking. Font ends up being same size as my phone but viewed at a distance. To each their own i guess.

              • cycleri3 on 14/05/2024 - 20:06

                @CheapAddict: Can you please confirm if the screen is matte or glossy? hate glossy screens

              • witheredcouch on 15/05/2024 - 09:11

                @CheapAddict: I must have the font on my phone set considerably smaller than you as mine is about 2-3x the size as on my phone.

        • mynamewahhhwahh on 14/05/2024 - 12:11

          I have it set at 5120*2160 for my MacBook and just increase window zoom by one or two clicks depending on the app.

  • davidl820 on 13/05/2024 - 09:56

    Is it worth to spend a couple hundreds more and get the 44.5" one?

    • qwijibo on 13/05/2024 - 10:19
      +1

      That one is only 5120x1440 (i.e. less vertical resolution), so depends on your use case.

    • Dienk on 13/05/2024 - 13:46
      +1

      Believe or not the 44.5 has a smaller area. That is because this one is 21:9 and 44.5 is 32:9

    • bleeder on 22/05/2024 - 12:00

      The vertical on that 44.5" would be annoying as (profanity)

    • Morven on 13/05/2024 - 10:56

    Cheers, $70 postage to rural Qld. Should be fine for me, I don't game just surf the net and watch videos [I'm old LOL]. Will be running it on an old HP Z4 G4 with a GTX 1660 super and MX Linux. Mostly what I'm after is more real estate and maybe a little better definition. Currently using a 2016 [I think] 29" LG ultrawide, IPS.

  • AlanBruuuy on 13/05/2024 - 13:55

    I'm considering to change to this one from Dell UltraSharp 38"
    Can anyone share how is PIP/PBP on it? Can I use PIP to show another inout in e.g. top right corner?

    Is there any app to control the PIP from desktop?
    I currently use Dell Display Manager, and I have scripted my different inputs and PIP setups..

    2.5k for the Dell version is a bit prohibitive

      Mine has arrived and working fine with my NUC laptop. You need to make sure you are using the right type of USB C cable. The one I'm using supports 240w charging, USB 3.2 gen 2, thunderbolt 3/4, and DP alt mode.
      Lots of the generic USB C charging cable only support USB 2 speeds and don't have DP alt mode.
