Big fat ultrawide gaming monitor, for a bargain price.
Interestingly, switching to the Adobe preset in the OSD, and bumping the brightness up to 80% actually helped mitigate a lot of that weakness, however. And that's without blowing out the white saturation, either. The contrast is decent, especially down at the lower end, though with these changed settings it does mean I'm losing a bit of the definition when it comes to shades of red specifically.
You'll only really notice that when you're fine tuning images in Photoshop, however, not when you're running around the wild, wild west, or knocking out tanks in Battlefield V. Yes, I still play Battlefield V. While I'm definitely a fan of what the monitor does, it only feels like great value at its regularly discounted price. At the full $600 asking price I'd struggle to say it'sworth spending just that little bit more, hitting the $800 mark and going for a truly glorious image, such as with the Dough Spectrum 4K glossy.
But the Innocn 40C1R is often on Amazon for $499 or even as low as $449, and at that price it becomes an incredibly good value gaming monitor. There's no other IPS-like ultrawide, that will deliver 144Hz, and such a broad gaming vista at that price, as the Innocn.
