I’m in the market for a new monitor and I wanted to get a ultrawide, I almost exclusively play videogames on my PC. I found some good candidates, but because of price I’m heavily leaning towards a flat panel instead of a curved one, namely AOC U34G3X.
Is a flat ultrawide panel much worse than a curved one for gaming? I’ve used flat panels since they started selling it, but the longer diagonal scares me a bit. I’m currently using a 27" flat panel.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!
At a tech-based non-profit I worked at, we got a lot of donated stuff, including a number of 34" ultrawides. I ended up liking them more than I expected. I think they’ll be fine for gaming, provided your GPU can deal with the resolution.
Ultrawide has always been something I wanted, I love (well, at least I think I do, since I haven’t tried it) the extra field of view they have and the superior immersion they provide! With this $300 ultrawide I’m considering I can finally try it!
The GPU I’m getting manages 60 to 120 fps at 4k at high-ultra in many different games, 2160p is 1.67x ultrawide 1440p pixels, so it should provide 90-180 fps at ultrawide 1440p give or take, so that should be covered!
