Ultrawide monitor: flat vs curved? (lemmy.ml)

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!

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
