Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ INNOCN Ultrawide USB C Computer Monitor 27C1U, 4K 3840x2160, 27" Screen, Frameless, Split Screen, HDMI, HD Display by Sergio Wood

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent budget for photo editing with some issues.

First, I connected it to a 2021 14-inch Macbook M1Pro via USB-C, and it works great as a large display. The picture is bright and crisp, photos look great, text is crisp. SRGB mode seems to be the best mode and was calibrated very well. However, navigating the menu system on the monitor is terrible, but once you set it up you'll be fine. On the other hand, using it with Windows wasn't pleasant. I've tried two devices with integrated Intel graphics (HD 630 and Iris Plus 655), both of which support 4K 60Hz, but over HDMI this monitor flickered on and off briefly and then went blank. In order to get a stable connection, I had to reduce the refresh rate. Speed up to 50hz and it was stable. However, I had a GTX 1070 and it seemed fine at 60hz (but I only ran the pc like this for a day) but I prefer smaller settings for less space and less power consumption these days (and not really a player). I bought two of these and enabling HDR darkens the color and is disappointing (about n on both PC and Mac) unlike LG which gets very bright when HDR is enabled (but still disappoints color). Having additional USB ports on the back is good, but they're inconveniently accessible. I would prefer them on the side. I think there may be some 1970's transistor AM radios that also have better sound quality, but I didn't buy them to use the built in speakers. I think the price of this device would be better in the three hundred and twenty five range. Mac users, take a look if you're on a budget. Windows users should choose other options. While I hope they will be able to update the firmware to fix the issues I was having with HDMI at 60Hz, after spending time with their support team (although they confirm the issue to have).

Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
