New budget monitor

[Ataxia]

Hiya folks
I am looking to upgrade my current Benq 1920 x 1080 24" monitor and have a budget of around £250. I do game but not generally FPS tends to be MMOs or Far Cry Primal/Fallout 4/Skyrim etc.
The purchase has to be from Amazon due to gift vouchers etc.

The 2 which have caught my eye are

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-C32F391-32-Inch-Curved-Monitor/dp/B01DTLSQA2/ref=sr_1_5?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1487518295&sr=1-5&keywords=monitor
https://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-Ultrawide-Monitor-2560x1080-Speakers/dp/B01BFH194W/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1487518295&sr=1-1&keywords=monitor

Now the main problem as I see it is that the 32" is nice but it is the same resolution, but will the curved and size improve my gaming experience?
Or would I be better off going for a straight 29" superwide or whatever they are calling them these days?

Any help or opinions you could give would be appreciated.

Well do you want it to be widescreen or in the same aspect ratio as you have at the moment? The second monitor you linked will be a squashed image (kind of).

I would choose the curved monitor. In my experience they are very good and offer an immersive experience.

I think this is better though

The F591 is a identically speced model but is £20 cheaper no is also a slightly newer design so will last longer. (It is the remodelled version of the F391)

Also it is thinner, lighter and slightly more energy efficient

And is 5 inches smaller which probably accounts for the price difference.
