There are far more curved G-sync 1080p monitors than non curved =/.

Curved sucks. D:
It's the new "fad" and I don't like it to be honest. It's making monitor choices more difficult.

Okay so I've come down to these choices for a new monitor.


1440p:

To me it looks like they are using the same panel. So go with whatever is cheaper?

I wouldn't even consider 1080P to be honest. Unless it's 24".

Yeah, having the curved ones in the way has actually made my monitor search all the more frustrating. Curved seems to have more downsides than pros above non curved monitors. 

 

I could go with the Acer predator one as it's the cheaper monitor, but under it's sepcs, it doesn't seem to list DP, but I'd assume it would support DP as all the G-sync ones seem to anyway.

I don't think I can even go with a 1080p 24' atm as I can't even find one that doesn't have more cons than pros.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
