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!

    I’m not that social and play SP games almost exclusively, so three monitors would be overkill and definitely over budget (the ultrawide I want to buy is $300 converted); even if I wanted to keep my current monitor, finding two 1080p that would match its ugly colors and all other stuff would be a huge hassle, and I’d still have to bear the ugly side bezels on the middle monitor. A ultrawide sounds like a better choice in my case!

    Thanks for the input though!
