Curved or Flat screen ? Recommend me a monitor around 32 inch.

Not it's not, especially with an OLED. I swapped out 32" 4K (IPS) for 34" UW @ 1440P, and it's no contest what was better overall.

If you want to say 32" OLED 4K is better, then yes of course it is.

You went from 138ppi to 110, about the same as 1440p at 27".
Maybe I'm just spoiled from my days of 27" 1440p and 32" 4K, but I really struggle to enjoy a monitor that's under that pixel density.
<100ppi isn't bad, especially considering 24" 1080p is still the most common setup, I'm just saying I would aim higher if I was buying a monitor in 2025.


PPI:
24" 1080p = 91

27" 1080p = 81.5
27" 1440p = 109
27" 2160p = 163

32" 1080p = 69
32" 1440p = 92
32" 2160p = 138

34" 1440p = 110

I have 27" monitor, and even on that the edges don't point at me. Any bigger and I think I would want a subtle curve so the edges are more direct.

I did, and I got better performance and a better image because of OLED, can I tell the lack of pixels if I pixel peek? yes - does it matter while gaming, or even while looking ta my desktop? No.

I found that better tech was a better toolkit for IQ, than more pixels.

I loved 4K but it's not better than my current set-up.

Next monitor will be 4K OLED, if the image quality and performance make sense, because i'm not spending 2K on a GPU.

Each to their own but OLED is the real game changer IMO, not pixel density, especially not with the performance trade off on top.

Agreed. I went from 1440p ultrawide to 4K 32" and in many ways I regret it, not least of which being the performance hit. I really wish there was a 32" 16:9 at a resolution between 1440p and 2160p to hit that 110ppi sweet spot.

That said, OLED is the game changer when you're shopping at £1000, but for £400 it's a size/resolution game.

I went from a Asus Rog 27" curved LED 1080p 144Hz to a LG Ultragear 32" flat IPS 1440p 180Hz and the difference for me was much better.
Personally I don't read to much in to all this PPI. If it looks good to me, then I'm happy. But everyone to their own...
The thing is, I got to physically see them both before buying.

You only increased 10 pixels per inch.

So many OLED's much cheaper than 1K now though, not at 4K though obviously.
