curved ultrawide question

doits · October 3, 2015

So the acer predator x34 gsync is coming out soon. I saw the hardware canucks review of a curved ultrawide and he said it doesn't look great with curve if it is not directly in front of you. I plan to use a ultrawide to my left and a 32in 1080 monitor for netflix etc to my right. Does the curve not do well when not directly in front? Heck I may even look into two lg 34um95 on a monitor stand for the same price of one curved ultrawide with gsync. Is gsync that worth it and can anyone recommend a dual stand for dual 34um95(image the one from the linus desk pc build would work)? My computer is still running a 680 so I understand I won't be running max settings at ultrawide resolution.

edit:formatting and double spacing removed.

tldr:How does curved ultrawide look if monitor is not directly in front?

Is gsync worth it, or just get 2 flat ultrawides?

Coming from dual 22" flat panel, the curve on my DELL U3415W is subtle.

I don't sit uncentered from my monitor, so I can't tell the experience if you are trying to view it from side angle. Personally, if the curve can shave off some couple bucks, I'd do that. Alas, DELL doesn't give a non-curved version of my monitor.

G-Sync, IMO, is worth it if :

- You mostly game whenever you sit in front of your PC

- You vow your allegation to NVIDIA, despite AMD may give better performance for price or better features on their future cards.

- Upgrading your monitor whenever you upgrade your GPU doesn't pose you financial problem.

Mhmm so the curve is subtle when looking at it, I doubt it would be that different if it is not directly in front. Thanks for the input gsync sounds worthwhile until gpu's can max the frames. If only the ultrawides with gsync didn't have that curve they would be like 900ish. I'll wait for reviews but may just bite the bullet and go with curved gsync.
