Innocn 45C1R - Level up your Homelab or WFH setup with a 45" curved ultrawide monitor!

The Innocn 45C1R is a 45", 32:9 curved ultrawide that replaced my multi-monitor test bench setup... and it could be the ultimate homelab or work-from-home display for you, too! This monitor has 5120x1440 resolution, 120Hz refresh, 1500R curvature, VA panel, and a Picture-by-Picture mode that splits the screen into two full QHD displays for two separate computers. Think, work laptop and your personal PC (https://mousewithoutborders.com/)... or a homelab workstation and a single board computer :) I cover the packaging, the stand, the OSD, what 1500R curvature actually means, color accuracy, backlight uniformity, VA panel trade-offs, port selection, and how Windows 11's snap layouts changed the math on ultrawide monitors for productivity work. If you want one of these, please use the following affiliate link: https://amzn.to/4vHk0Kz (it doesn't cost you any more, but it does send a few nickels my way) In the event you want to watch video on your 32:9 monitor, channel supporter Pavel has a browser plugin (https://ultrawider.net/) that makes watching 16:9 (in any Chromium-based browser) substantially better. Remember... 32:9 is basically two 16:9 monitors side-by-side Fun fact, this video is the first one to feature self-shot camera video. It has all of the stability and appeal of some Blair Witch Project footage :p Full disclosure: INNOCN provided the 45C1R for this review. They didn't pay me, and they didn't see or approve the script before it was recorded.
