Curved or larger - 1440p

[max2dapower]

Hi all,

Got a new beefy rig on its way and i fancy a new monitor to support it.
I currently have a AOC AGON AG271QX which is brilliant, 1440p 27inch.(https://www.expertreviews.co.uk/aoc...iew-great-for-gaming-but-also-everything-else).

I don't want a 4K monitor yet as i like monitors that are 144hz and I'm happy with 1440p gaming

I cant decide if i should get an ultra wide screen monitor, or just a bigger monitor perhaps 32 inch.

Either way they have to be 1440p and have high refresh rates.
I like first person shooters and play them seriously, but i also like awe inspiring displays in games like Farcry 5 etc.

Any recommendations?

Ultrawide all the way.

It makes gaming just so much more immersive.

And being able to display two web pages at once is handy as well.

I will never, ever go back to 16:9 screens.

An ultrawide will ruin 16:9 screens for you. The downside is for high refresh rate on ultrawide you'll be spending a small fortune. A friend of mine went to ultrawides and just recently upgraded his monitor to:

He absolutely loves it, and it looks incredible. I feel the same thing will happen to me if I jump to ultrawide which is why I'm waiting until its cheaper for the higher refresh rates. I'd stick with higher refresh but go bigger. everything supports 16:9 not all games support 21:9 yet.
