Nice one @Zeebedy ! I didn't pay for next day so get it Monday, but I'm ok with that. What's it like with motion at the high hz?

edit - **** it's glossy, I don't like glossy!

its a little blurry, playing some EFT the now but its OK for me, getting used to it.

And yeah, should have mentioned that

im a bigger fan of matt displays too!

Yeah I'm going to have to cancel mine before it gets to me. Have you tried any of the overdrive settings yet?

Ahh, thats unfortunate, its quite responsive actually in EFT, will give it a good go tomorrow with settings.

Would you say it's a good monitor for a price? Or would something smaller be better with that kind of resolution?

Zeebedy · 24 Sep 2021 at 19:53

TBH mate, im really enjoying this. playing well..I think one of the main factors for some people might be the res at 1440p instead of 4K, but for me I think for £300 its a steal!

Quick update -

Loving this monitor, I really am. No dead pixels and little BL bleed. Playing games pretty damn good.

One thing that isnt the best is the control nipple. But its not a big deal, if adjusting settings I just use the remote instead. Oh yeah, and also its white! not black! :eek:

What do you think of the sharpness of text? I have not yet decided between this and the 49' 49SUWD144FSHQ

The text is good to me. I wouldnt say that I set this up and went "WOW, that text looks ****". Im just impressed with the quality of this panel, being only around the £300 mark! And a 2 year warranty, well..it is not the worst ever..

Well in the end I decided to go for an ultra-wide monitor, after trying a few I picked up a 49' Samsung one, I felt the quality of the electriq was a bit too poor. Unfortantly I didnt try out the 39' @Zeebedy I hope its doing great for you

That the CRG9? @Steven Rimmington ?

Hi yes, it is the CRG9 my budget wouldn't allow the new G9 this at below half the price felt a good buy

Only issue I have is no built in speaker I must have over looked this, so will need to grab some speakers at some point. Although I tend to use headphones so it's not too important.

The G9 and G9 Neo have so many issues reported online I kind of the the CRG9 seems the sensible buy.

I did notice a lot of bad reviews on the new G9. From my very limited 3hrs use of the CRG9 it seems excellent value for money, it will take a little getting used to though

grumpybeard · 30 Sep 2021 at 15:22

^^^ this, would agree the CRG9 seems a wise choice while the 49" gaming market sorts itself out

Hows the new monitor going mate?

Just a quick update on mine..for the money im still blown-away with it. If it was a 400-500 pound monitor, it would still be worth it, I have seen a few reviews of identical ones on YT and in America, they are called "Sceptre"..and seem to be OK..anyway, time will tell
