Best Ultrawide Curved Monitor for gaming under $300?

[milosv123344]

Hi , if anyone can suggest some good ultrawide curved monitors under 300 for gaming, and is there even a point in buying one?

I already have a VG248QE 144hz monitor which is not curved, but a friend asked me for the ultrawide , considering i did a lot of research i could not find any that i could decide on so i am asking here finally.

Thanks

"and is there even a point in buying one?"
Ummm... well everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I believe curved monitors best feature is the wide viewable angle.. which for a monitor seems pointless to me.
However, if you ask Samsung it's because our sight/FOV is slightly curved.

Personally my computer monitor is a 65" 4K TV.

Lucky_SLS found a result for the 21:9 aspect ratio and curved for under $300.
(I didn't find any at that price.)

Oh no don't get me wrong, i love the idea of X34 predator and will probably be my monitor, i asked if there is a point to buy one under $300 for gaming is all, considering you can buy a normal one at 144hz 1ms response time.

the predator is the ultimate in user experience if u ask me. if u can afford it, think not n buy one 😉

I don't either one he linked as eBOTH ultra wide and curved.

Hey everyone thanks for your responses, will recommend the LG 29UM68-p to my friend, but since this is a freesync monitor i read on newegg from reviews that selecting 75hz with an nvidia card MAY lead to frame skipping, anyone know what this is about?

 

[Lucky_SLS]

frame skipping happens always. its how low they bring it down so that u dont see screen tearing is what matters. generally screen tearing hapens if ur game fps is like 30% or more than ur screen refresh rate if it doesnt have freesync or gsync. at 75hz i dont think that many frames will get dropped. if u r a bit concerned, try cranking up the msaa settings.

Thanks , downloading Dxtory and limiting in game FPS to 75 would solve that.
