    i was looking for a monitor and i mainly need it for editing but of course will use it for some gaming. Most likely story games, because the only game i play competitive is SmashBros. Im glad to hear that curved seems to be the best choice, because i love curved screens but wasn´t sure about the benefits the Monitors have.

    Thanks for helping the peeps in the comments, i also got a few questions: Shouldnt curved be ALSO better for competitive games? Curved gives you a wider FOV, so you can literally see enemies better and faster than someone with a flat monitor, right? And i suppose it makes more sense buying a curved 2k 165hz Monitor 27' inch than a curved 1080P 27 inch 240Hz due to 2k having the better pixel ratio on 27 inches, right? Im thinking of upgrading my 'old' 24 inch flat screen with 144hz.

    • @DarkEnigma1115
      @DarkEnigma1115 10 месяцев назад +6

      It depends on the game.
      On a 16:9 24-27 inch monitor, it's pretty useless unless it has an ultra aggressive curve like Samsung's 1000R monitors, since at normal viewing distances, flat screens of those sizes occupy most of your peripheral vision anyway.
      Most curved monitors are also VA Panels which has an inherently slower response time and higher input lag than IPS panels, but better contrast. And unless you're buying mid-tier or better ($500+) comes with pretty bad smearing as well.
      Curved monitors also tend to be ultrawide (21:9) only ones I see putting out 16:9 curved are INNOCN, AOC, Spectre, and Samsung. I definitely do not recommend Ultrawide for MOBAs, and some shooters (I believe Valorant, is an example? Not sure) just cut the missing vertical FOV, so it's basically just a 4k image cut in half which they say is to prevent a competitive advantage.

    There is a ton of misinformation in this video about flat vs currved monitors. Pixels have a limited viewing angle and there is distortion when you are not viewing 90 degrees / perpendicular to the monitor surface.... when viewing a small monitor from a distance, the angle to the bottom sides and corners is small... but when viewing a large gisplay up close, you could be viewing the sides or corners of you disp[lay at 45degree off perpendicular, so a flat monitor would appear more distorted in this case... the entire display surface should be equal distance from your eyes, so large monitors that take up a lot of your FOV should be curved in both directions, side to side and up and down, like a globe... but those aren't available yet.

      And lastly, you can just save up and go for the one that makes most sense to you.

Ultra-Wide has an Aspect-Ratio of 21:9 . But there are MANY MANY 16:9 Curved displays. which, if it has R1000 curve, is PERFECT for the human eye! So it doesn't get better than this.
