I am fairly computer literate and I still have my mind blown away when comes to purchasing monitors.
It is one of those things that you buy once every few years, just don't keep track of and only thing I know for sure is that I do NOT believe in marketing materials from companies..

Just got a need to replace my Samsung Odyssey G7 27'' curved 1440p 240Hz monitor - that one goes to my daughter.
Need another curved, 27 to 32 inch monitor, but because I have NVIDIA GPU - would like it to be G-Sync capable.
Now - most of curved in that space in marketing materials only advertise Freesync as option, but do they really not work with G-Sync..?? Had read multiple articles, that they do not advertise it for legal purposes, but in practice they do 'understand' and take use of it..

What are solid to very good curved options in that space in terms of models? Can pretty easily go to OLED teritory, price range can go some reasonable amount beyond £500, but spent just about 4h researching it and got stuck on that Freesync on all models that cought my eyes..

Thanks
 

This is a good, regularly updated guide for what OLEDs are currently available.

- At present there are no curved non-4k OLEDs under 34".
- The 34" are widescreen 3440x1440, coming in at from around £600 on OCUK for the MSI 34" MAG 341CQP QD-OLED.

They'll all support gsync no problem.
 
Was looking at things all evening yesterday and new angle popped up.
"EDIT:
Yesterday it just run into my eyes, dismissed it then, but that was before @COYS comment on under 34'' curved. your coment made me realise i may be looking for impossible and that's where seed for that lower part was placed"..
I have second monitor - 27'' Dell 4k for Cites: Skylines etc... and I was not envisioning removing it, it worky, not broky, does what I want..
But then I run into:
and "I just can't get it out of my head, Boy, its more than I dare to think about"...
Replacing both Odyssey and Dell with this one, have space for it on desk, budget is somewhat friendly...

What do you think? Usecase is both games and office work, I do work from home 2 days a week, so removing bunch of cables from dual-monitor setup, replacing them with USB-C display to work laptop...
Games are Scum, ETS2 and ATS, Civ4 upward, Anno 1800, nothing multiplayer on any notable level, maybe some L4D2 only...
