Ultrawide - 1440p not curved v 1080 p curved?

rnrtpdbs

I need help deciding a monitor for my new pc (running a gtx 1070 atm) 
I will be doing some gaming, photo editing and video editing also.

Given my budget, I am having difficulty choosing a monitor suitable for my use.


I could go either 1080p curved ultrawide v 1440p ultrawide, not-curved; both around 32~34" size

Can someone help me out please :( and is 1080p @ 34" that bad??

I wish my 2560x1600 monitor at 30" had more pixels so yes 1080p is a bad decision.Ultrawides are good for gaming and 1080p is not really good for video editing.

A lot people saying 34" (27" wide longer edition) is too bad for 1080p.

In my opinion nope and I cannot see the differences at all.

 

The reduce of 10 PPI really not make any huge impact on clarity to me.

But if 1080p on 32" wide wise then it is pretty bad as it only 69 PPI which is reduce of 23 PPI compare with 24".

 

Unless you already cannot accept 1080p 24" where the PPI is 92, then you should get a 27" 2160p (4K) monitor which will give you 163 PPI. In this extra of 71 PPI then I believe they might give a huge differences on clarity and sharpness.

 

Below is comparison which I take the photo very near to show out not much different in 34" vs 24" for 1080p.

 

This is 34" UltraWide 2560x1080 (LG 34UC79G) - 82 PPI

This is 24" Wide 1920x1080 (ViewSonic VP2468) - 92 PPI

I own this two monitors and I use it everyday side by side, means my distance for both monitors is same and I seat in normal distance because I don't move my keyboard and if I seat too far then impossible I can reach the keyboard anymore.

Before I change to above, I am using the 1440p ViewSonic VX3209-2K monitor. All in total of 3 is similar sharpness to me, the only I miss is the 1440p had better and bigger workplace and it is much better for internet browsing as less scrolling required, but all this is solved after I attached another monitor as portrait mode for internet browsing or doing doc when required.
