Surprisingly more convenient than two full HD panels. I tried the 32: 9 LCD "Innocn WR44-PLUS"

The "" of the emerging display maker Innocn is a 43.8-inch ultra-wide LCD display that supports a display with a slightly unusual resolution of 3,840 x 1,080 dots. The price on Amazon is 85,990 yen. As of 27th, it is Black Friday and the price is 60,193 yen.

There are LCDs with various resolutions and aspect ratios in the world, but the general one is 16: 9, and the resolutions are 1,920 x 1,080 dots (Full HD), 2,560 x 1,440 dots (WQHD), 3,840 x 2,160 dots (3,840 x 2,160 dots). 3 types of 4K) are major. Of these, full HD is almost the standard for displays, and 4K is more suitable for enjoying higher-definition video content.

On the other hand, WQHD is rarely adopted as a format for video content, but it has a resolution that makes it easy to balance fineness and amount of information, and when combined with a high-end GPU, you can play the latest 3D game titles without difficulty. It is popular as a thing. In recent years, GPU performance has improved, and refresh rates compatible with 144 / 165Hz have become major, so there are more options.

In terms of numbers, WQHD is certainly located between Full HD and 4K, but when converted to the number of pixels, Full HD is 2,073,600 pixels, WQHD is 3,686,400 pixels, and 4K is 8,294,400 pixels. Surprisingly, it turns out that WQHD has less information by 460,800 pixels than half of 4K. Therefore, there are quite a few users who say, "4K has poor visibility (general 27-inch and 31.5-inch), and WQHD does not have enough information, so I work with two full HD displays side by side." right.

In fact, I also use the 27-inch WQHD, but even with simple tasks such as writing while referring to the information in the Web browser, some of the windows overlap, so window switching occurs. Resulting in. You can arrange the displays next to another one, but in the end, depending on whether you want to focus on the left or the right, the sitting direction and posture will be different, and you will have to stretch your neck to see the other. So I only used one.

The author's usual environment. Dell's WQHD compatible 27-inch display "S2721DGF" is the main.There is also a full HD "LCD-GC221HXB" next to it, but I have no chance to use it except when I have another PC running at the same time.

In that sense, can be said to be a model that "satisfies the needs of dual dual displays and eliminates dissatisfaction." It's more convenient than arranging two full HD panels side by side.

The reason is that the resolution is equivalent to two full HD panels, but since there is no bezel between them, the display in the "center" that straddles the bezel is seamless and seamless. It is not "either one is the main", but the center is the main, and the rest can be used as supporting characters. While always facing the front, you can put the information you want to refer to aside, and set it aside because it is unnecessary. The feeling is that it is a triple display that is a little narrower than a dual display. This feeling is quite new.

In terms of resolution, it is purely equivalent to two full HD panels, but the biggest advantage is that you can place a window in the "center".

By the way, the first HDMI system and DisplayPort connection can display at a maximum of 120Hz. In addition to AMD FreeSync support, there is also an image quality mode for games. There is also an RGB LED illumination stripe on the back, which is not bad for games. Afterimages were also relatively suppressed and it was easy to see. The upper limit of the second HDMI system was 68Hz.

Let's briefly touch on the appearance and functionality of the product. Since this machine is 32: 9, the package is over 1m, so you need to be prepared to some extent when purchasing. However, it is surprisingly easy to put it on the desk because there is no bezel on the stand for two displays and no left and right bezels equivalent to one.

The author uses a product called "LPG-90H" from Elecom, which has a width of only 90 cm. As expected, the left and right sides of the screen protruded from the desk, but the stand itself fits comfortably, so it could be installed.

In addition to the main unit and stand, mounting screws, and AC cable, the product package includes a DisplayPort cable, USB Hub cable, USB Type-C cable, remote control, VESA mounter for wall mounting, and driver. It also comes with a calibration certification sheet, a Japanese manual, a cleaning cloth, and anti-fingerprint gloves, giving the impression of being completely exhausted.

The back of the main body is designed to be reminiscent of a curve, but it is not actually curved. Of course, the distance between the eyes is far from the left and right ends of the screen, and there is an impression that it gets a little dark due to the angle, but if you look at it 50 cm away from the screen, it seems that it is just barely safe even if it is not curved. ..

Looking at the attached calibration sheet, the maximum color difference ΔE was 1 and the average was 0.44 in the sRGB color gamut. It's a pretty good category. I felt that the image quality was pleasant even when I actually saw it.

The product package is over 1m, so be careful. The product is tightly wrapped in styrofoam. The stand on the back. The joint stand is made of solid metal.Supports swivel, tilt, and lift Interfaces are DisplayPort, HDMI x 2, USB Type-C accessories are abundant

OSD settings are orthodox with buttons, but they also have the ability to display crosshairs and refresh rates for games. The slightly different settings are Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP), and there are no restrictions on the input destination of the second system (PIP or PBP is also possible with only one system). Even with PBP, 3,840 x 1,080 dots are input as they are, so if they are left as they are, the image will be vertically long. Therefore, it is necessary to devise such as setting it to full HD on the device side.

The top of the OSD is the image quality setting that is set for games, etc. PIP / PBP setting For some reason, the same source as the main signal can be selected. It is also possible to display the same source in the PBP display.I'm sure who's profitable, but ... I can do what I can. I projected the screen of another PC with a PIP display.

In addition, there is a stripe of RGB LED illumination on the back of the main unit, but this setting is also done from OSD. By default, 7 colors change in a gradation, but you can also select a light emission pattern such as single color light emission or blinking. By the way, this unit also has a built-in speaker, but it only "sounds" completely, and the sound quality was a disappointing level.

In addition to DisplayPort and HDMI, the input terminal is equipped with USB Type-C. This USB Type-C can also supply 65W USB PD, so it is convenient for connecting to a notebook PC.

In addition, it also has a built-in 4-port USB Hub. It also has a KVM function with USB Type-C and another USB upstream, which is convenient for switching between a notebook PC and a desktop PC.

It also has a built-in 3-port USB Hub, and can be charged and transferred with a single USB Type-C cable that functions as a KVM, making it convenient for laptops.

After trying it for a week or so, I thought 32: 9 wasn't a bad new display option. As expected, the vertical resolution is narrower than WQHD, so I sometimes thought "Hmm, I wish I could see a little lower", but the higher-grade 5,120 x 1,440 dot product doubles in price, so It's enough if you don't say luxury. However, if you are looking at games as well as general work, this product with a low relative load on the GPU will be a good option.
