Are curved monitors a meme or actually useful and comfy?
I'm tempted to get this Asus MX34VQ to replace my old Dell U2412.

meme. also

ultra-wide aspect ratios are literally nothing but a scam to sell you less pixels for the same diagonal "inches".
If you don't do any content creation where straight lines are important, curved can be more immersive if you're close to it for gaming or watching movies, it's a personal preference.

confirmed for never having owned a 21:9 display. Who cares about the total number of pixels, gaming in 21:9 is amazing. I'd take a 3440x1440 ultrawide over a 16:9 4k display any day

ultrawides are memes
what the 4k is 48 inches
I've sat in front of flat 21:9 monitors at work and was surprised how much I liked them.
Now these 32:9 monitors would probably need to be curved to not seem odd.

At least with traditional sizes curved monitors are nothing but a gimmick.

Get a flat panel. I recommend either a pwm panel or oled. 27" @ 1440p is a nice ratio to get a nice panel. I would recommend semi mat finish. NEVER GLOSSY. and mat is acceptable.

meme, specially for gaymen.
Depends entirely on the size of the display. A tiny laptop monitor doesn't benefit from being curved, but a 34 inch 21:9 has a noticeable difference. I use a 29 inch 21:9 curved daily, and it's great.
Ultrawide is not a meme. Curved displays are.

Anything monitor is fine, curved or not, once You use it for a while You'll get attuned to it. In any case though, I still dislike Curved monitors, I got used to it for a while during it's infancy but still got annoyed at it and eventually sold it in favor of a 4K monitor. Then again, it's up to personal taste.
Eh. It's a gimmick, but I wouldn't automatically not consider a curved monitor if it was otherwise good. Not my preference though.
21:9 is pretty great, but /g/ has a hateboner for them because of autism.
cury monitors make me all tingly inside
love them so much

I have a predator x34. I sit about 2 feet from it and I think the curve helps immensly, though I think how much the curve helps depends on the viewing distance. I don't think a curve would be good for anything other than playing games or watching movies
