Juggernaut 49" OLED Monitor DQHD 144hz $999, 240hz $1199 + Shipping @ Mighty Ape

20

I was looking at a 27" OLED and spotted this in the google shopping ads. Seems very cheap for a 49in OLED. The Samsung equivalent is $1699 at PB Tech, nearly the same price as the 27" but is literally double the screen,

Probably the same panel as the brand name ones but maybe a lower grade. I have had a Kogan 34in ultrawide for a few years and it has been fine but I'm a bit hesitant with this one as I don't know how good "Juggernaut's" burn in prevention is.

Does anyone have any experience with these? or seen other similar budget brand OLED's around?

It shows $42.99 postage for me but I tried a few other post codes and most look to be around $50
Not sure when it ends but I'm guessing it is part of the boxing day deals which end on the 6th

This is part of Boxing Day Sales for 2025

    • Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that thread

  • How are people finding the super wide wild and wacky screen resolutions for everyday life?

    I'm currently using 2x 4K 32" 16:9 displays and find them awesome, but always open to new things, although this would be a lower screen res than a single one of those. (3840x2160 > 5120x1440), so might still need two of them to be nearly the current screen res I have (2x3840x2160).

      If you got 2 of these you'd have to stack them, otherwise you'd get a very sore neck haha

    • I have a Dell U4919DW and find it awesome for work. I use a window management software Dell Display Manager to divide the screen up into three portions with my main window placed in the slightly wider center. The 5120x1440 means scaling is 100%.

    Looks like Kogan AU has the same one but branded as Kogan for $1099 AUD so we are getting a better deal. Or maybe they have branded the Kogan rejects as Juggernaut 🤔

  • Brightness: 250nit (HDR Off), 450nit (HDR On)
    HDR Version: HDR400, TrueBlack

    That's pretty underwhelming for an OLED, mobile phone screens have 10x the nits now.

      My kids had nits. It’s not all it’s crackup up to be.

  • Imho it's not really worth it at all. The new-gen 240Hz 27" OLEDs from Samsung were below $600 during Black Friday, with much better panels (QD vs W), brightness, software (inc. burn-in protection), refresh rate, etc. You could get two of those and be much better off than with the 49" - there are flexibility benefits to multiple monitors vs. one big one unless you specifically just want to play racing games.

    Obviously that price for the Samsung OLEDs isn't currently available, and was kind-of an anomaly, but I have been seeing sub-$1000 prices for various reputable 240hz 27" OLEDs for a while now and I expect prices to decrease further in 2025.

    • Oh damn where was that price and why did no one post it 😭

      • Samsung Education Store code stacking + AMEX $100 cashback. I would've posted it but I was kinda lazy lol (there are posts for other stuff e.g. the vacuum cleaners and obviously the S24s)

    • Damn. Looking for a 4k 60 oled and prices are still too high for my comfortableness

        I really doubt that 60Hz OLED panels are going to continue to be produced - maybe I'm wrong, but I'm seeing 240Hz 1440p as the new standard for affordable (or 144Hz 4K), with the expensive panels going up to like 480Hz+ for 1440p and probably 360Hz 4K.

        • you're probably right. I'd just rather same some money on the framerate than the resolution

          • @Grandma: If you plan on using the monitor for gaming then higher Hz should be a much higher priority than resolution, especially from 60Hz > 144Hz. If using for productivity then I could see the argument

            • @Corex: absolutely.

              Although the only games i've really played recently are cities skylines and elden ring and elden ring doesnt do over 60fps without third party mods. And consoles don't really do it anyway.

    A reverse image search shows these look identical to models under the Chinese brand name and model 'Nubia Red Magic Realm 49" QD-OLED' which were announced mid 2023 and apparently uses a Samsung panel. This might imply it's an OEM sold under various brands but I couldn't find any reviews, though there is a short youtube clip of the Red Magic in action - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkCqpz4juL8

    • It's almost certainly an OEM model that Mighty Ape rebrands. There's no chance Mighty Ape/Kogan design and make these monitors themselves.

      • Someone on geekzone mentioned it also looks identical to the INNOCN 49Q1S, of which there is a review by Techradar, a user review on Youtube and it gets a 4.3/5 star rating on Amazon. If this is the same monitor (just rebranded as Juggernaut) then it might be half decent.

        • Yea I saw that, but the Amazon rating includes lots of different models, most not even OLED so I wouldn't rely too much on that. But its been out for a while and I couldn't find any bad reviews on it so I still might give it a go.
          Does anyone know if the refresh rate is the only difference between the 144hz and 240hz models?

          • @Aaron: Seems like it's only the refresh rate that's different.

  • Might be a decent gamble if you're specifically looking at a super ultrawide. It is a niche aspect ratio.

    It says it uses a QD-OLED panel so it most likely a lower grade Samsung panel rather than a LG panel.

    I wouldn't bother comparing the brightness values on the box with other panels. It's basically marketing. Maximum brightness varies a lot at different window sizes. I expect it to be similar to other OLEDs as this hasn't changed much at all over OLED TV and monitor generations. I wouldn't compare it to phones which are significantly brighter than other mainstream brand OLED TVs and monitors.

    It uses an OLED panel so there is unlikely to be any ghosting or artifacts due to crappy response time tuning/algorithms compared to buying no-name brands that uses an IPS/VA/TN panel. So you most likely will get a real 240hz experience.

    The issue is the software. Colour calibration and HDR brightness calibration is likely to be not great. Input lag due to image processing may be an issue. The OSD and settings may not work properly or certain settings may be locked out in certain modes for no reason at all.

    Software burn-in prevention methods like pixel shifting and pixel cleaning may not exist. However, these methods won't save any monitor from getting burn-in if you don't take the necessary precautions when using any OLED such as hiding window taskbar, not continuously placing static elements on the screen (work using excel spreadsheets), and using the monitor for a variety of content etc,

  • So did anyone pull the trigger?
