I have a 69hz 2560x1440p monitor nice but been gaming more again after not for and am looking at the Gigabyte G34WQC or  Samsung G5 LC34G55TWWNXZ  
Since they are 399 for the Gigabyte and 419 for the Samsung.  only thing on the Samsung is the stand and have never had a curved screen for 1000 might be a bit much for first one compared to the Gigabyte 1500

    Both monitors look great. It would be hard to choose between the two, but my instincts go with the Samsung. 

    AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    Samsung Quality control is horrible and their Customer Service may be the worst in the business......
    ..so I'd say the Gigabyte .

    Went with the Samsung though never had any problem with either brand.  It arrived yesterday and looks great see no dead or stuck pixels and going from an hp 2560x1440p elite monitor the fluidness of games is great odd thing is i get better fps in black ops and star citizen when testing and same in MS flight sim.  I was for sure ill take a bit of a hit not much.  I ran my blu-ray  calibration  disc and everything was  close to where they should be.  took about 2 hours to get used to the curve and all.  Now debating on using G-snyc or not?

    Get the 32 inch Samsung, you save so much more money and only a 2 inch decrease, which you won't notice. You will notice spending double the price though

    Something about a PS5 with no games to buy

    Please, do.
    Once you try a *Sync, you will never want to look back. 😁
