Dual curved Monitor setup or normal Monitors?

FreshKD21

Ive recently moved my PC from my desk and now have enough space to have another monitor, ive figured a dual curved monitor setup would be good because ive got a corner table and it would look better than 2 flat monitors. A lot of answers below other threads said things like 'the viewingangles are not good for dual monitors and the bezels are too big on most curved monitors for gaming' but i wouldnt want to use the second monitor for gaming anyways, id want to use it for productivity, i dont have a curved monitor either to know how the viewingangles are. So whats your guys opinions? Curved or flat?

curved screens to me are...... kinda lame. but it's just my personal opinion.

it seems like a gimmick , lets face it it's not exactly going to rival omnimax any time soon and most of the content/programs you use on it are made to be seen on a flat screen so nothing really takes advantage of the small amount of curve anyway.

Curved is only good if you're going with a 1440p ultrawide centered

Ya I tryed curved its not really worth it currently either wait for them to get better or bite the bullet and get the more expensive ones now to have the gimick actually work. Because currently the low tier curved panels are shit and just a waste of time. 

 

I'd just go with a normal dual setup where one is your main gaming so a 1080p 144hz TN screen and the other is a 1440p IPS for with good color accuracy (aka for movie watching/Yt content). Thats the meta set up currently so I'd go with that.

 

edit: Ohhh shit man you don't have a desk mount for your monitors. Heres a great desk mount. This will save u tons of space since the stand is now gone but you will need vesa compatible monitors but there are ways to mount not vesa monitors just a little sketchy thats all. 

You expect me to reply then you'd best QUOTE me so I can........thanks
