Which 27" 1440P Curved Gaming Monitor to buy?

[AccessDenied]

Hi Guys

Was looking to spend £300 - £400? Can I get anything decent? Would you mind making suggestions please?

I bought GIGABYTE AORUS CV27Q 27" 2560x1440 VA 165Hz 1ms FreeSync 2 HDR400 Curved Backlit Gaming Monitor. It arrives tomorrow, Sunday.
I'll try and post a quick write up for it as there's not many reviews for it.

But really the curved 27" 1440p choice is really quite small from what I've seen.

Please let me know your thoughts on that - Was looking at that one myself.

If I was going for curved I'd probably be looking at this Samsung - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sams...-hdr-widescreen-curved-monitor-mo-235-sa.html

RTings give it a pretty good write-up

I'm sure they do, but the guy has a budget which he stated in his post.

All I'm going to say is that I've seen it available for very close to his budget, a little over 400, but you have to shop around.

You better hope the 4K hoes do not see this thread and tell you you need 4K and that 27" is a "midget screen".

Ahhhh now I see, although it's an older model now and might be going EoL hence discounts.

Hi OC

Hope you do mind me bringing me old thread up - Despite getting a few comments when I originally posted, I did not get too much in the way of recommendations. Anyone able to help with this?

Have a look here (read the full Link not the little bit I copied/pasted), seems a few months away.

Is 27 inch wide enough
To benefit from a curve?
Never seen a curved monitor in
The flesh so to speak
So just curious
As got a 27 inch myself but
Been considering a new
Monitor

I have a 27" curve and it grew on me and IMO like many reviews say it starts to be beneficial at this size but not a must so it is subjective.

I want my next 32" to be curved though.

I currently have a flat 1440 16:9 27" 60hz (ACER 272HUL) and now want a curved 1440 32" 144hz - any suggestions?

that looks a nice monitor from the specs - tell me how you get on with the curve - am currently looking to get one (but want bigger than 27" - and 32" seem the largest, oh yeh, I don't want to spend a fortune)

I really don't think a 27" monitor needs a curve, I think over 30" benefits froma curve but a 27" is small enough not to need one.

If you're happy without a curve then the LG GL850 or LG GL83A are the way to go for IPS 1440p 144hz goodness.
