I tested the world’s largest flat super ultrawide monitor that’s like have two 27-inch screens side by side — and it’s a game changer for multitasking
The Innocn E49M1R is unlike any super ultrawide monitor out there because even at 49 inches across, it’s completely flat without a curve in sight.
The Innocn E49M1R is not your typical super ultrawide monitor. Instead of featuring a curved panel, it offers a completely flat screen that expands your workspace to the size of two 27-inch, 1440p displays. When connected to a PC or Mac, you can run two full-sized browser windows or applications side by side, making it perfect for productivity. However, the 165Hz panel, Mini-LED backlighting, and AMD FreeSync Premium also deliver an immersive gaming experience, provided your PC can handle the monitor's native resolution.
After using the E49M1R as my daily driver for a month, I can confidently say that it has significantly changed the way I work. While I've been using a standard 21:9 ultrawide display for nearly a decade, the extra screen space provided by the 32:9 aspect ratio of the E49M1R has made a noticeable difference in multitasking. However, there are some trade-offs to consider.
The monitor offers dual HDMI 2.1 and dual DisplayPort 1.4 connections, as well as an audio jack, but lacks a USB-C port for one-cable connection to laptops. Additionally, due to its VA panel and wide width, colors may appear washed out at the edges if you're seated too close. Despite these drawbacks, the Innocn E49M1R is currently available for $849 on Amazon and the company's website, making it an excellent choice for those who prioritize productivity-focused work or gaming on a very wide screen.
