Samsung S27D850T vs S29E790C

Hello, I currently have an ASUS MX279H monitor which is a widescreen 1080p, a standard run of the mill 1080p monitor that's IPS. I am going to buy either a Samsung S27D850T or a Samsung S29E790C monitor to have two monitors going. The computer driving this has an i7 6700K and a Samsung 850 EVO SSD and will have a GTX 1070 (the wait continues). The two monitors I am interested in are: the S27D850T for $250 with a 1440p IPS 5ms response flat panel or the S29E790C for $280 with a 1080p IPS 4ms response curved, ultrawide panel. Should I spend the extra 30 and go down from 1440 to 1080 for the curved ultrawide? Thanks in advance!

I'm getting a factory refurb so I can get a better monitor for way less.

Get a 1440p monitor, it will be far better than a curved ultra wide.

The S29E790C has 2560x1080 resolution. If you (or the computer user) will not mind the low pixel density, then it is definitely the way to go. I personally love ultrawide.

It's going to be for productivity use so I wouldn't mind.
