I'm in the market for a new monitor and I wanted to get a ultrawide, I almost exclusively play videogames on my PC. I found some good candidates, but because of price I'm heavily leaning towards a flat panel instead of a curved one, namely AOC U34G3X.

Is a flat ultrawide panel much worse than a curved one for gaming? I've used flat panels since they started selling it, but the longer diagonal scares me a bit. I'm currently using a 27" flat panel.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

I guess I'm sitting at the right distance since my flat 27" feels just right, I think the distance between me and the screen is around 65+cm. I haven't played on a curved screen ever, but I can imagine that the curvature helps a lot with immersion; issue is, the cheapest curved monitor I can find with comparable specs is almost twice as much, and I can't stretch the budget that far!

Thanks for the insight, though! Appreciated
