Hi. I'd get one of these.

You could get two of them since it doesn't cost a ton or anything and two would fit well within your range. Or any other generic monitor as the secondary.

well for that price i would if they wouldn't come from the states. The problem is i would have to pay taxes for them and waranty issues would be a pain in the ass to

My bad. The 27 inch one isn't that much more and has quite small bezels. (I use dual monitor with large bezels on two 1280x1024 displays) So I know why you don't like the large ones. But yea. The bezel on the 27 inch is quite little.

 

[rayanrebahi]

yeah ATM i have 2 second hand 24" displays with inch thick bezels zo yeah, why would yoou take the curved ones?

and also how easy is it to return someting to newegg if there is something wrong with it?

 

[crazily]

This will sound rather dumb but I've played games like cs:go and bf1 on a friend's curved monitor. And while you hardly notice it when not in a game. While in a game it sorta feels like it adds more depth opposed to looking at a flat LCD.

 

[rayanrebahi]

oh oke i'll keep that in mind

 

[rayanrebahi]

what about this combo?

Ideal screen size is based on how close to the screen you are going to sit; you want the edges of the screen just in your central area of vision, so you are not looking back and forth across the screen too much.

With curved screens there is an extra consideration; the idea is that each part of the screen is the same distance away from you; this distance is dictated by the size and curvature of the screen.

For my 27" Acer, this is about 80-85cm.

okay i just found out i could get my self a ultrawide for aroud the same price as a nice 24" non-gaming screen, should i take the ultra wide instead of the non-gaming? or do i take the ultra wide as my main-gaming screen. it's a 75Hz screen : https://www.bol.com/nl/p/lg-29um69g-b-ultrawide-gaming-monitor/9200000077051656/?suggestionType=searchhistory&bltgh=lwou8HZWIF1eMM-qvFlAVw.g22JVcJIjEV60Md-N7FAiA_0.3.ProductTitle

If you play shoot-em-ups, an ultra-wide is not ideal, too wide to see everything without moving your centre of attention; however if you play sim racing or flight games, or do a lot of productivity stuff, an ultra-wide makes sense.
