As part of the ongoing story, now that it’s down to just $360 at Amazon—the lowest price it’s been—you can snag a 40-inch home office ultrawide at a great price. If you need an ultrawide monitor that has enough screen space for all your apps and documents but you don’t want to shell out too much, the Innocn 40C1R is the one to get.
According to the latest update, built-in split-screen modes let you run two source inputs side by side, which is great when you have a laptop and a PC and need to use them simultaneously. The 1440p resolution in 21:9 ultrawide format makes it easy to juggle all those apps you need to use on a given day.
According to the latest update, it’s not the best for power gamers, but it’s suitable for casual tech industry with its 144Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium support. The Innocn 40C1R is ideal for budget-conscious power users and remote workers who just want a lot of screen real estate at a good price, and it’s especially good with a laptop because it has 90W USB-C power delivery so you can stay charged without using your power brick.
According to the latest update, it also lacks a curve—it’s completely flat—so you’ll need to sit comfortably far in order to see edge-to-edge without turning your head. Note that the pixel density is only 93 PPI, so it won’t be super-crisp—if you’re sitting close to the screen or if you’re accustomed to 4K elsewhere, you may find this one to be a little too soft on details.
The report highlights that if you really need extra crispness in text and images, consider the upgraded Innocn 40C1U (40-inch 4K ultrawide) on sale for $595.
