We’re on the third day of Prime Day and we’re still seeing some great deals on quality gear. Consider this 49-inch Innocn ultrawide monitor on sale for $499.99, an impressive drop from its usual $794.98. That’s not just a great price for a massive monitor with ultra-high-def resolution, but a new lowest price for this particular model. A real deal.
Innocn’s 49C1R ultrawide monitor delivers a spacious 5120×1440 resolution at up to 120Hz refresh rate. That’s equivalent to two regular 1440p monitors side by side, minus the annoying bezel down the middle. The 32:9 ultrawide aspect ratio gives you loads of horizontal space for apps, tabs, and even games. And for a monitor this big, you need curvature—this one has a gentle 1800R curve for comfort and immersion.
This monitor can even play nice with a laptop thanks to its USB-C video input with 65 watts of power delivery. You’ll need a laptop that can comfortably push 5120×1440 resolution to an external monitor, but if you have one, know that it’ll stay charged while connected. Other ports include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, two USB-A, an Ethernet, and a 3.5mm audio jack. All good stuff, but nothing mindblowing.
Everything else about this monitor is pretty ho-hum, including the HDR 400 certification (don’t expect true HDR performance). The main downside here, other than the lack of bells and whistles, is that it uses a VA panel rather than IPS or OLED. That means a slower response time that results in motion ghosting in fast-paced games, plus a narrow viewing angle so you lose color quality and contrasts off center.
But let’s be real: those are minor drawbacks when you’re able to score a massive ultrawide for just $500. This is a Prime Day upgrade worth making, especially given the memory and storage shortage that’s driving up prices for almost everything else.
