This screen is amazing for gaming, nearly as immersive as my Oculus without the weight and heat. I play Halo Infinite multiplayer on High/Ultra (RTX 3070) with resolution scaling turned down to 55% to get 120 fps at full 5K resolution, but with something like Cyberpunk 2077 you'll need to choose between resolution and raytracing. In most cases raytracing will only make small visual improvements with current gen games so I don't see that as a big problem yet, but be aware it's an issue with a screen this big and you may need a beefier GPU. The HDR in games adds a great contrast range that actually makes a huge difference in immersion.
The wide aspect lets you see much more of the playing field which makes it easier to watch your flanks. This alone has boosted my performance in shooters. Also, one really nice feature for gaming: there is a built in aiming reticle that can be turned on or off. This is sweet for hip firing or playing in hardcore when the game reticle is hidden... :)
For watching HDR movies, you'll need a viewer that can handle 10 bit output. I recommend VLC media player, with the contrast turned up to about 60% (Ctrl+E, Video Effects tab, and Save the setting.) This gives a nice vibrant picture with bright, detailed highlights. I usually zoom so the window touches the top and bottom of screen. This gives a nice big frame without losing any of the picture.
The only cons I've found with this monitor after 5 months: The blacks are not quite as inky as with an OLED screen, since the dynamic backlight zones are too big to be useful, and I've turned that feature off since it's actually distracting watching the bands turn on and off. There is now a mini-LED version of this screen that will probably solve this, but it's also more than twice as expensive. The standard version still has plenty of contrast with 1000 nits of brightness and definitely has that HDR feel.
The other con is that after about a month, a single dead pixel appeared near the center. The pixels on this screen are small enough I never actually see it unless I have a white background, and even then I have to search for it. As long as none of the other pixels die, I'm ok with this.
Now the only problem with the new monitor is finding enough 5120 x 1440 wallpapers lol...talk about first world problems. If you had dealt with ultrawide before then the same issues apply here. Sadly some of previous ultrawide fixes to games that are handled by mods or file downloads will probably not support this new resolution. Also just like on a 3 monitor config the further sides in some games will have that weird effect in which the image looks wider than when it is in front of you to give it that its around the corner of your eye effect. this is really easy to see on a game like minecraft so I included a screen of it but it is usually a non issue in most games. If you want Immersion in your games and VR is not for you...I believe this is the right monitor for you.
Original review
Upgrading from a 100hz IPS Ultrawide Acer Predator X34, after much research this was the only worthy upgrade when upgrading from an X34 and was super excited to test it. Sadly the screen is broken right the middle (pictures provided, delivery guy told my wife it was a gaming chair so I can only image how well he handled my monitor) and of course they are sold out of the CRG9 again so I have to wait 1 month for the next shipping batch to get my replacement. So once I get the new one I will update this review. For the few things I can try now I can tell that the color are great and HDR for the few games that support is a visible difference to me. I am running this at 100hz in order to keep the 10bit and HDR options on otherwise at 120hz you can only do 8bit. Got the "Loctek Monitor Mount Heavy Duty Gas Spring Swing Monitor Arm Desk Mount" and it can hold this beast just fine but a little wabbly when touching the monitor. I cannot enable the HDR on my PS4 (HDMI) for some reason but not really looking into it right now. Monitor appears to be built well so I can only image the screen was broken by UPS and not a Quality control issue so I will definitely give it another chance. PIP works great with a pc and a console and is temporarily holding me until I can get my replacement

難点を上げるとしたら、アサシンクリードヴァルハラの最高品質をRTX3080+5600Xでも60FPS維持するのが難しい事でしょうか。RTX4000シリーズが出たら解決するとは思います。
The 32:9 aspect ratio takes some getting used to, and you really need to check if games support it, but for those games that do ... simply WOW! It is an immersive experience to play game on a super ultra-wide. It takes some getting used to, but once you try this, you'll realize how awesome it is to see so much real-estate. Racing games, MMO, shooter and FPS are great on this.
What's good:
- the color is accurate
- it's 120Hz refresh rate is great for most games (FPS, MMO)
- It's bright and the resolution is 5120 x 1440 is excellent for gaming
- Screen curvature is better than the newer Odyssey. Viewing angle is not terrible on this
What's bad:
- HDR is terrible. Despite what the spec sheet says, HDR on this monitor is near garbage. I tried all sorts of settings and gave it many opportunities, but I ended turning it on and then off multiple times. SD on it is fantastic though so I feel I'm not missing much. I'm not sure if it's windows setting, Nvidia or the monitor... but HDR on this is simply not good
- You'll need a wide desk to support this monitor
- Video on this monitor is average. I came from a 32" Dell so in essence i'm downgrading when watching video on this since it's essentially 27" ...however, I can have two videos playing simultaneously
You'll also need a fairly powerful graphic card to run game on high settings for this monitor. You're essentially pushing nearly 5K of pixels. This is one of the reason I went for this older monitor instead of the new Odyssey since my graphic card can't run games at 240Hz.

In summary this monitor is a jack of all trades - master of none situation.
When I bought this is was around 1300 CAD (if I remember correctly).
120hz Refresh rate: I wasn't able to use the HDMI connection to run at 120hz, no biggy since it's for work. Over DisplayPort, for gaming, it works but doesn't make much of a perceptible difference (to me) I'd recommend getting higher refresh rate if you aim to play at high refresh rates. The monitor has visible ghosting on sharp contrasting differences when the picture is in motion. Not much of a problem to me but the asking price of the monitor makes the middle of the road picture quality a bit of a pain.
HDR: There is only 9-10 dimming zones on the monitor, you might not be impressed with the HDR experience on this. Consider that HDR is supported if you need it. There are better monitor for less out there if your goal is to consume HDR content.
Dimensions + Resolution: This is a win, in my use case. This monitor was the best I could find that occupied more physical space, but didn't lower the amount of pixels per inch. This is smaller than 4k, making it easier to run for games while being no smaller than 2 monitor side by side both physically and in its resolution. Anyways this was the main deciding factor for me. Having no bezels in the middle of my workspace has improve my comfort a lot, not to forget the workflow pain points have gone down by having to minimize windows much less often.
Brightness:
Controllable, unless you use the Dynamic Contrast (which I think might be the default). On max brightness this is hard to watch for me. If you need something bright this is a good pick.
--- --- Misc. Features --- ---
Picture by Picture mode: SO USEFUL!!! I love it! Makes it so 2 of your inputs can be displayed simultaneously (max 100hz for each inputs when in use). I can see my work PC and my gaming PC at the same time on the same monitor, you know what that means :)
I would have liked it even more if there was a KVM or the ability to connect the monitor's USB hub to 2 computers with a button to witch between them. (ended up buying a USB switch to fix that last point).
Built in USB hub: Cool to have. The included USB3-B cable to connect the hub to your computer has its plug is too big near the end close to the connector, making it a pain to plug in as it is interfering with the monitor's body. Good luck getting to the hub once the monitor is setup on the desk though, the stand doesn't raise/pivot enough to give you access to the hub from the front.
Stand: Does minimum it has to. Has some space to channel cables through, not a lot of cables though.
Rear Panel Cover: There is a removable panel cover that goes over the connectors/USB hub area. I couldn't put it back with the amount/thickness of cables I have. Not a big issue in my case but, still hurts for a premium monitor.
Rear LED light: Laughable, only noticeable if in a dark room and monitor is directly against a wall, the brightness of the monitor will overpower this flimsy LED. If you like it it's there. Ambiance use only, lol. Also, why is it not RGB :(
Consider what is your use case carefully before buying. It's a good chunk of change and takes a LOT of space on your desk (not to mention the weight of the thing). Great for work, falls somewhat short in other aspects.
All in all I'm giving this monitor a strong: Meh+.
But the firware is a mess. Will not detect connected machines properly, will turn off when machines are outputting, switching inputs is a nigthmare. Even having issues with my PCs not detecting it at boot time, have to turn it on and select input manuallly.
At least Freesync works ok.
