Question Acer vs Samsung 1440 Curved

[richiestang_78]

So I'm going to be looking for a new monitor and for the price I'm looking at the Samsung CHG70 and Acer ED323QUR. Anyone have experience with either of these or recommend something similar in the same price point 300-600 USD (lesser being better).

I just want a solid 1440 preferable curved (not necessary but I like the look of a curved screen) monitor with Nvidia compatible Freesync (or G-Sync), good response time and good color accuracy. I will use it for gaming and basic computer use.

From this shortlist, I'd go for the Dell U3415W. You didn't mention what GPU you'd be using to pair the monitor with...?

Ill be upgrading to a 2070 or maybe a used 1080ti in the next couple months.

I came across the Viotek GN34CB Ultrawide and GN32CB which is a Korean brand that apparently use Samsung VA panels that from the reviews I've are pretty good after some minor calibration. Anyone have experience with these?

I own a C27HG70. Happy to answer any questions.

How about this 32" 1440p VA 144Hz FreeSync for $300

Thanks for the LG panel, good price and seems to be well reviewed. Now I'm more confused to save the money and go non curved and get the LG or spend it on the Samsung or Viotek.

I've also been reading for 1440 a 32 or 34 inch is basically the same pixel density as a 1080P so 27 inch would be a better option. Is this true?

27" 1440p would be more pixel dense, yes. Also, text on your desktop will be smaller, so you may have to correct with Windows' scaling.
For gaming, 32" will occupy more of your field of view, so it may be more immersive.
Don't concern yourself with the density stuff, as long as it's about as dense as a 24" 1080p screen. (I don't recommend 27"+ @ 1080p).

I tried 32" out and it was a bit too large for my preference at my viewing distance (can touch the monitor with my fingers while sitting in chair) so I bought a 27". Also, my C27HG70 was still $440 and the 32" model was something like $520, soo...

Yeah I'm still a little torn. I can get a 27inch curved Viotek monitor (GN27DB) but it may not be fully gsync supported as I've read some issues about flickering. On the other hand microcenter has the LG 32GK650F for 299 and I've heard nothing but good things about this monitor including its gsync compatibility but I also sit fairly close and I feel like 32 is just too large.
