M4Max Studio with MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED 49

[N9JIG]

Sam's Club has the MSI MPG 491CQP QD-OLED 49 inch curved monitor (5120x1440) for $799 and I am thinking of getting it to replace my current 2 27" monitors. It has DP1.4, HDMI 2.1 or USB-C connectivity.

Has anyone here used this monitor on a newer Mac, and if so how well does it perform? Is it reliable?

I almost bought it today but I recalled that I had issues with a Samsung Odyssey G9 a couple years ago on my M1Max MBP and returned it, so I figured I would ask around first.

Thanks!

I use a 49” and 57” Samsung G9 and they both work just fine at the resolution the MSI has. USB-C to DisplayPort works better than HDMI in that it consistently gives me 120Hz whereas I get 60Hz over HDMI.

I just ordered the Samsung G9 direct from Samsung today. They are offering a free 27" curved monitor along with it as well as free shipping for $799, seems like a great deal.

Thanks for the info, I have just such a cable and will use it on my new monitor when it arrived this week.
