New monitor for laptop

[Taduksas]

Hello!

 

Recently moved to another country and started using only my laptop (MSI Stealth Thin with GTX 1060).

Since the black friday is coming up, I have started to look for a monitor.

I'm thinking to have one ultrawide curved 27 inch monitor instead of 2x 24inch. Like Samsung C27JG50

Could you please recommend monitor? Maybe is better to invest in not curved?

 

Usage: daily browsing / programming / gaming (light games: WoW Classic/Diablo3/Forza4).

 

Prefer:

 - Size: 27inch monitor (one is enough).

 - Resolution: 1440p (with 144hz is possible)

 

Living in Sweden

Budget: around 3000 - 3500 kr. (Around 300-350eur).

The monitor you linked is not an ultrawide, it's 2560*1440.  1440p ultrawide is 3440*1440.  Which do you want?  Based on your budget I'm guessing the first option, especially if you want 100+ Hz since high refresh rate 1440p ultrawides get expensive (double your budget).

 

I would not go curved on a 27" monitor since it doesn't seem necessary for something that small.  Start here and see if any interest you and are available in your country.  https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/best/1440p-144hz  The whole site is a good source of objective monitor research.
