Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

    Very good review really! You mentioned all the important factors for me. The response time was too high and price tag was too high when you can get a better monitor for not much more. When I buy a expensive monitor I want 10 bit and HDR as well. I was a little bit interesting in this monitor before, now I think I'll wait for a better/bigger one. I do have 2x 34" MSI Optix monitors today. Maybe I want to replace them in the near future.

    The horrific fov-induced-stretching at the edges is a deal breaker for me - I'd hate to game on that . I have a triple screen setup but I almost never game with them in nvidia surround mode, for this reason. Triple screens are great for games/simulators that have proper multi-monitor support, but I suppose it isn't even possible to set this up like that because it can only act as two screens.

  • @hartoz
    @hartoz3 жыл бұрын

    I had one of these, and for productivity it was amazing. However for gaming, it was not so good. A lot of games do not support this aspect ratio, and a lot of those that do give a very distorted image on the edges. A lot of the time you end up playing games at 2560x1440p and end up playing with a 2 large blank bars. When set you G-Sync compatibility (as this is a Freesynch Premium monitor), the result is not always effective, often I would have to lock framerates to get the best result. HDR output is not that good because it's not 10bit. After 6mo I ended up buying an 38" Ultrawide instead (Alienware) which has a better picture, 144hz, HDR600 and G-Sync Ultimate. The AG49UCX is pretty good for most things, especially if you use MS Powertoys to allow window tiling (Its nice to run Word, Email, and a web browser at the same time). Also remember that watching movies or videos on this aspect ratio is not very good. There will never be proper game support for this monitor, as its too niche.

    I used my 29" AOC Q2963PM (2560x1080) 21:9 IPS monitor for many years, I like how immersive 21:9 ultrawide monitors are in games. The main problem with ultrawides are that most new AAA games don't support it, I had trouble getting- Sekiro: shadows die twice, Monster hunter world, Ace combat 7, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom, Devil May cry 5 to work since those games don't fully support ultrawide monitors. My only fix was to upgrade to a 4k (3840 x 2160) 16:9 Gaming monitor, since so many game developers refuse to add ultrawide support into their games...

There are some free demos (of new games) that do not support ultrawide. I had to change the .ini config in Oblivion to support 21:9. After that it worked fine. I could list a hundred games than support 21:9. All the games on my channel were recorded in 2560x1080. kzread.info/dron/ec-h4Ic-PNRp6hjMBJLxpA.htmlvideos
