I am looking at getting a new monitor, and I am thinking of going with a curved monitor..

I've always been against curved screens (primarily TVs) but I think for a monitor it may work well for me.

Does anyone here have and use one? What are good models to watch for?
I will want something with a fast refresh rate and decent resolution as I will be gaming. 1080p and up please.

I have been looking at the BenQs XR3501 monitor.

I think if I go curved I'd want something in the range of 27-35"

I still havent ruled out 2-3x 24" non curved monitors either.


Thoughts? Recommendations?
Thanks

Not worth paying for.. cant hardly even tell the difference. I have a 34 inches and sure it's super nice but lots of annoying issues if you got 21:9

All shows/movies are in 16:9 or w/e and don't natively support it unless you stretch it
Hard to push the resolution on some games

Up to you, I wish i had waited but it's whatever I enjoy it
