Help Buying Monitors

[MossySloth]

Hi All,

 

Looking at getting some new monitors for my setup (upgrading from a TV and old Philips 170S), and have picked out a few choices, but I have some additional questions.

 

First off, here are the monitors I am looking at:

Primary: ROG Swift PG279Q  https://www.asus.com/uk/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG279Q/

Alternatives Primary: ROG Swift PG27VQ  https://www.asus.com/uk/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG27VQ/

                                  ROG Strix XG32VQ  https://www.asus.com/uk/Monitors/ROG-Strix-XG32VQ/overview/

 

Secondary (Verticle) :  VG278Q   https://www.asus.com/uk/Monitors/VG278Q/overview/

Alternative Secondary: ROG Strix XG27VQ  https://www.asus.com/uk/Monitors/ROG-STRIX-XG27VQ/

 

My questions:

 

1) Have always gamed on a 33" TV, and I love the large screen size. Is 27" still very large, or should I look at getting the 32" XG32VQ?

2) How good is a curved monitor? Does it really increase immersion and is it worth it?

3) Anyone ever used a curved monitor as a verticle monitor, and if so, does it work, or is there screen glare?

 

Thanks for reading and answering questions. Have a good day!

1. size only mean something when your viewing distance is unchanged. If you sit closer to a smaller monitor, then it will look the same

 

2. Immersion in video and sight seeing games, yes. In competitive games I get dizzy
