I was looking for a big UW, and likely would have gone with a slight curve, but went with a 42” 4k 16:9 (flat) instead. Basically as wide as most UWs I was looking at, but with extra space top and bottom. Gaming on it can be kind of a cinematic experience. Just another thought for you!
That's great, thanks for the reply! So, you don't have issues with such a large screen that you think a curved one wouldn't have?
If your 42" is great for gaming, I don't see how my 34" can't! Well, unless you don't use it at a traditional desk setup, but like a TV istead
Not at all! Worst case, just move it a little farther from you. Mine is mounted on the wall that my desk sits up against. With my slide out keyboard tray, I’m around 3.5’ from it.
That's great, glad to hear that! I will sit a bit closer, but my monitor is also going to be smaller! Can't wait to play on it
