Curved monitors are popular for sim gamers (Flight Sim, Racing sims, etc.) for more immersion. For myself, I don't see the appeal. Absolutely in love with my LG 27". Barely use my older TV in the basement now.

3440x1440 curved monitors have come down in price a lot over the past 4 years. If you can find one on sale for less than $400-500 and it has Freesync, I encourage you to give it some thought. Modern open-world games like Cyberpunk, Witcher 3, and (don't laugh at me) Mass Effect Andromeda look beautiful in ultrawide, and the curve adds immersion. 
 
 
 
 
 

Have never been a fan of the curved.  I use my monitor for non-gaming activities as well and they just feel off, not worth the immersion IMO.

I'm looking to get either the LG 27GL850-B ($450) or LG 34GP83A-B ($1k). I'd like to get ultrawide but just doesn't seem worth it at those prices. This would also be my first 1440p monitor (currently on 1080 240hz).
 
I might even start looking at 240hz 1440p monitors. I love my frames.

i have a acer 27 inch gaming monitor 144 hz isp display i think its 4 ms responce time. im very pleased with it and in codmw i avg 146 to 225 fps mostly around 180 fps. im running a ryzen 5 3600 and a evga rtx 2080 ti xc ultra. i play in 1440p resolution. would a 240 hz monitor be worth the money and im also looking at the ryzen 9 5950 soon to push some more fps. any opinions please and is 1080p better.

ok thanks any monitor recommendations,what are you using?

this is what i have now and its great but since i get around 180 to 200 fps in codmw and 120 to 140 in warzone i was wondering a 240 hz or better would be worth it.
 
Acer XF270HU 27" IPS Gaming Monitor 144 Hz - Newegg.com

yeah i hear you

maybe 3 hours aday 2 gaming

After 144hz I feel like it's just diminishing results personally. Get at least a 144hz monitor with an advertised 1ms response time. If you'd like to go the 1080p route, I'd highly suggest the AOC 24g2, it's usually out of stock, but for $180 you get 144hz, IPS Panel(great viewing angles, and good color accuracy), 1ms, etc. If that's not in stock for $180 I'd recommend the BenQ EX2510, it's another 144hz 1ms IPS monitor bought it for myself, and it's really great, the only complaint I have is that the out-of-place orange accent ruins the look of the monitor a little.

does anyone here actually have or has used the benq xl2546k ? I'm looking to buy that and could use some feedback from an owner's perspective. Supposedly it's the best 240hz 1080p monitor out there but the price is kind of steep.

Yeah, i went to 1080p after 4k gaming on ps5. Dont budget on the screen

im gaming 1440p on a 27 inch, i want a 240 hz but not cheap so i may go back to 1080p and get 240 hz.

If you have a 1440p 27 inch with 144 Hz I don't think you should go to 240Hz unless you are an aspiring professional shooter gamer. From 60 to 144 yeah that is a difference. From 144Hz to 240Hz not that huge. I think you should be more invested in getting a higher minimum FPS, by upgrading your hardware. IF you are super competitive you can go 360Hz, from 144 Hz to 360Hz there is a difference, but not as big as from 60 to 144.

I picked up a cheaper 1440 monitor- kinda wishing I'd looked into it more and bought a better one, maybe waited for the AOC one I've seen recommended a lot.
