Looking for a 32" 1440p Curved IPS monitor

Refresh rate above 100hz is preferable.

 

Right now I'm looking at two models:

 

LG Ultragear 32GP850-B

MSI Optix MAG321QR

 

Between these two, which do ya'll recommend? I'm also open to suggestions for other models.

Neither of them is curved. Curved IPS monitors are rare.

Both of those flat IPS are great though.

VA is getting pretty good nowadays - at lower contrasts, even low-end VA panels don't have much smearing. Plenty of them are curved, too - but really, the entire monitor purchasing process is a mess - it's almost impossible to tell how a certain monitor might perform

You're right - my mistake. I should've added that these are the ones I'm looking at in the event of there being no good curved panels in this category.

My only complaint is the black-smearing. And that was a deal breaker for me, swapped to IPS.

The higher end Samsung VA  panels should be much better at it, I've read.

Based on my recent research, I think the best gaming 32" 1440p gaming monitor might currently be the Samsung Odyssey G7 (which already has a very-premium price), or the G8 if someone is able to spend an obscene amount on a monitor. I think I saw the G7 refurbished for a more reasonable price at that time, of around $500 CAD. I was looking into it and weighing it against an Asus PG329Q, and went with the Asus because I wanted a flat-screen monitor.
