Looking for a cheap curved monitor

[stravos56]

I'm currently looking for a curved monitor for a gaming build using a single GTX 980. I don't wanna spend over 500 bucks for a single monitor but there doesn't seem to be many curved monitors under 500 bucks. I found one from Samsung that is about $400~.

Is this good enough for gaming or do you guys have any other monitor suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Sorry man, cheap, curved and good don't go together. I have one of the 21:9 Curved LGs. Not worth the extra $300 For a negligible curve. The curves are always much more dramatic for the product pictures. The only time it pays off is if you are watching a movie really.

What kinda gaming are you doing?

if its online, or competitive, go for something 1440p 144hz 1ms response. (like ROG swift but cheaper)

If you are into pixel porn (skyrim modding, getting the biggest image as pretty as possible at the cost of frame rate), get something 21:9

Curved monitors are a gimick.... Just get a 1440p or 144hz monitor for the price.......... Really isn't worth the "curve" unless you're running 3 in a surround setup and sitting in the sweet spot....
