Samsung’s unique monitor may have a more affordable copy. Acer is preparing a model EI491CRG9 with the same parameters
The other day we talked about the unique new generation Samsung Odyssey G9 monitor, which, among other things, will receive the VESA DisplayHDR 2000 certification.
As it turned out, this monitor will no longer be unique. Acer is actually preparing a copy of Samsung’s new product – model EI491CRG9. At least from the available descriptions, we can conclude that both devices are based on the same panel.
The Acer monitor panel is also characterized by a 49-inch diagonal, a resolution of 5120 x 1440 pixels, a frequency of 240 Hz and a peak brightness of 2000 cd / m2. The Mini-LED backlight is also in place.
Perhaps the monitors have some differences, but it’s too early to talk about it without official announcements. However, one thing is worth mentioning. The price of the new product Acer in China as part of an unofficial pre-order is declared equal to 2300 dollars, while for the monster Samsung they ask for 4600 dollars. But the official prices will clearly be lower, while the Acer monitor may well remain more affordable.

For 2.5 years, motherboards of well-known brands like MSI, Gigabyte and ASRock have risen in price in Europe by 35-40%
The data of the largest German retailer suggests that motherboards from well-known manufacturers have risen in price significantly in the past few years. This applies to both Intel CPU and AMD CPU models. But in fairness, it should be noted that motherboards based on AMD chipsets added a little less.
The average cost of a motherboard for Intel processors in November 2020 was 140.78 euros, the average price of such a motherboard now, as of March 2023, is already 197 euros. Growth – by 40%. In November 2020, the average cost of a motherboard for AMD processors was 120.5 euros, now it is 163 euros. Growth – by 35% with a little.
It is difficult to explain such an increase by inflation and the laws of the market alone. Most likely, the rise in price is due to the transition to DDR5 and the introduction of support for the PCIe 5 bus.

GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards have finally started to get cheaper.
After the first excitement at the start of sales subsided, the adapters became available without restrictions, but the prices for all these months were closer to 1700-1800 dollars / euros. Now they have started to go down.
In the US, Nvidia’s flagship can be bought for as low as $1,600, which is exactly the recommended price. Europe is even more interesting. The most affordable offer right now is 1680 euros, but this already includes taxes, unlike the American price.
At the same time, Gainward and Palit cards are the cheapest in Europe, but in the US for $ 1,600 you can buy an MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4090.
