Gaming monitor that's kind on the eyes

[Marakith]

Hello!

I'm thinking of upgrading my 27 inch AOC 1440p monitor to a 32 inch 1440p curved. Usage is gaming and browsing and light MS office work.

I'm looking at the Pixio PXC327 or the Samsung Odyssey G5 - both are curved. Both are 1140p. Pixio is slightly cheaper (and better looking imo)

Does anyone have experience with either? I get a lot of headaches from monitor use so want to make sure I pick the one that's easiest on the eye, as well as decent quality.

Thanks!

Better to first look into possible reasons for headache from current monitor, like possible too low frequency PWM backlight.
So what's the precise model of your current monitor?

Thanks - the reason for the headaches is an issue with one of my eyes. Long story: I get migraines occasionally. I'll get headaches from any monitor but some are better than others. Gloss screens are a no-no.

My monitor is currently the AOC q2770pqu - pretty happy with it although there's a bit of flicker forming in the top left. My intention would be to mount it on an arm and maybe rotate it for portrait viewing as a secondary monitor.
