Curved Gaming Monitor Vs Multiple Monitors

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a 29" curved monitor first and it was starting to do things monitors do when they have had enough of life, so I went shopping for a new one. First I tried an LG Ultrawide flat but ended up donating it to my husband for gaming as I really missed the curve and the ease of peripheral vision in gaming. Then I started working from home, and while most of my colleages have 2 or 3 monitors scattered around their workspace, I have 1, simplifying my life. It's kinda big, I don't recommend it for just any space, I affectionately refer to it as my surfboard, but it's a great monitor and I'm glad I went for it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work from home and have a multi monitor setup. I have older monitors and have been wanting to upgrade for some time. I decided to go with the LG 34WP75C-B because I wanted a large wide-screen for working with multiple applications and gaming as well. The resolution and clarity of the monitor is amazing especially compared to my older screens beside it. Setup was easy and only took a few minutes. The monitor also has multiple ports and supports DisplayPort as well as HDMI and USB-C. Switching between inputs is really easy and quick and makes being able to use this monitor on my personal machine easy and still allows me to use the USB-C for my work laptop. When working in MS Teams for work meetings the large display is really nice when maximizing the meeting window and being able to see all participants video larger and with more clarity. Over all I'm really glad I made this purchase and have high hopes for it long term. I use this monitor @ a 3440x1440 resolution for work and for gaming. Simply game changing from my older monitors that only supported a max of 1920x1080. I am considering ordering a second and just using the two 34" monitors rather than having to have the 4 monitors I used previously. Right now with my current setup I have this one and 3 others that span about 80% of my L-shaped desk. I love having a lot of monitor real-estate for working and think two of these would let my setup be cleaner and still be just as productive as I was with the 4. Overall A++

Hard to beat a good ViewSonic monitor. This might be the best value at 1080P 165hz! If it's anything like my past VS monitors, it'll last you 10+ years!

This is being used as a gaming monitor. It seems to make the image more intense. The curved style allows you to take in more visually. We'd recommend this monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This curved monitor has all the bells and whistles for my gaming needs..flawlessly plays my Xbox series S in the most amazing high Def I've ever played on !! A must have

I purchased this monitor to replace two monitors that I was using with my MacBook Pro, and I'm glad I did. It's gorgeous, the speakers are great, and the assembly and set up were easy. My desk is now clean with the one unit, the cords are less unsightly, and I no longer need the external speakers either. The only thing I might do differently is get the curved version of this screen. One of my old external monitors was curved and I did not like it. But with all this real estate on the new monitor, I think a nice curve would be great. Anyway, very pleased with purchase, and always B&H is a great place to buy.

This was one of my first curved monitors and still is one of my favorites. It's really good for a PC or a PS5 because the PS5 has a 120hz mode in some games, mainly FPS games. The colors are good, and the game plus is awesome! Game plus lets you do anything from keep an eye on your frames per second to putting a crosshair on your screen. I haven't noticed anything negative with it being curved, or any eye strain. It doesn't seem to have much glare, and you can view at multiple angles without problems. I mounted it to some hydraulic stands so, they are light enough for that and to move around. They are durable, for a monitor. I feel like the curved helps with bigger monitors. I haven't quite figured out the HDR but that's with any of my monitors. HDR seems to be more of a marketing thing. Unless you are planning on spending a ton of money on a monitor, don't worry about HDR. The one I bought was a 32 in, but it might be a little too big for what I'm using it for. I don't regret getting this monitor. I recommended ASUS curved monitors to some coworkers and they like them as well. You can't go wrong with this monitor. I have bought at lot of ASUS. Most of my PC is ASUS. I like their stuff. The TUF series cost to performance is tough to beat and the ROG stuff is really nice when you want it all! I'm not sure about customer service yet. I haven't had any issues with my monitors. They are currently in the process of repair a graphics card under warranty and so far, it hasn't been a bad experience.

Beautiful. This monitor is absolutely beautiful. From the moment you unpack it till you finish using it for the day, this is just a gorgeous piece of equipment. Positives: - Amazing to look at… even when off - No eye strain, even after a 10 hours of constant use - Great connection options - Fast refresh times - Excellent resolution - Curved Negatives: - Back cover for cord management is flimsy - Expensive This monitor replaced two IPS 19’’ monitors. When using those, I had noticed that I could not sit in front of them for a long time; but with this Samsung monitor, I can spend an inordinate amount of time without any eye strain or feeling uncomfortable. While a curved TV seems like a gimmick, using a curved monitor is absolutely amazing. You sit close enough in front of the monitor that having a curved screen actually seems to “envelop” your view. The colors are comparable to the older IPS monitors, but the single wide screen monitor really makes everything immersive as there is no “break” in content. The biggest negative that I could find is the price. This is an expensive product, no way around it. The other minor quibble is that in order to “hide” the power and connection cord in the back of the monitor, the back plastic plate is really flimsy and can easily fall out as there isn’t a locking / snapping mechanism. Fortunately, once set, this becomes a moot point. I recommend this for anyone looking for a top of the line monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this monitor for just under a month now. I have been very happy with it. It helps a lot with these widescreen monitors to have Windows 11 for easier window sizing of various software. You can click the window and drag it to the top and then pick which size you want the window to be. I have tried 2 windows side by side. This is typically my gaming set up. I have also tried quadrant windows, so 4 windows total and that's not too bad either. The flatness isn't that much of an issue to me. The fact that it was much cheaper than the curved monitors that are similar in size was the selling point for me. I know curved monitors are all the rage right now, but this one works fine for me for what I do. I am typically playing FFXI (I know I'm old :D) 2 Windows side by side, and then of course normal web surfing etc. I also use SolidWorks with this computer and monitor and that has worked really well with the widescreen. The resolution on this one is 3440 x 1440. It's nice because not everything is ready for 4k and this is a slight upgrade from my 2k monitors that I had before. I would definitely recommend this monitor.

I used my son's computer with a curved monitor. I realized how much better it is that trying to use dual monitors. I use dual monitors for work and find that I am constantly looking to one side or the other. Making my neck hurt. I also hated moving things from monitor to monitor and never being able to view anything right in front of me. I don't know why I didn't think of trying one sooner. This monitor is great. Awesome picture. I am currently using this mainly for work. I will be planning to get a better computer for games and crafting. I was using a 22 and and 24 monitor. This 34 curved is perfect for what I need. The R1800 curve is the right amount for me.
