I don't know what to do...
I was searching for a new gaming monitor and I found those three:
https://www.asus.com/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-SWIFT-PG248Q/
https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Monitor-27-Inch-Curved-65BEGCC1US/dp/B01FXDVZF2
https://www.amazon.com/AOC-AG241QG-2560x1440-Adjustable-DisplayPort/dp/B01N7QDNJ8

each of them provides G-Sync and high refrash rate but I don't know what to choose since everyone says that curved is much better but its not an ultra wide display its 16:9
and they are in the same price range too so please help me
 
The benefits of curved monitors is dubious. From what I've read curved monitors only provide immersion when they fully encompass your field of view. Meaning you need a large display or for it to be placed very close. A 38" ultra-wide at desktop distance probably provides a decent experience. Anything less you'd be better off with a flat panel.
