Question Which 1000R Curved Ultrawide Monitor to recommend?

[Tgeer276]

So anyone with a bit of an interest in PC Monitors might have noticed that a number of manufacturers now offer curved ultrawide monitors with a curvature of 1000R. As far as I am aware, Samsung started the trend and is currently offering a whole line of monitors both with 16:9 and 21:9 aspect ratios which boast a curvature of 1000R. Excluding the rather pricey 49-inch behemoths that Samsung offers and focusing solely on the, in my opinion, perfect balance of size and pixel density of the 34-inch offerings with a 21:9 aspect ratio, I am at a loss to decide which of the following monitors with the afore mentioned criteria is best: (With current pricing in Germany)

• Samsung Odyssey G5 34" 349€
• BENQ Mobiuz EX3410R 499€
• AOC CU34G3S/BK 379€
• MSI ARTYMIS 343CQRDE 624€

Anyone have any advice, which to avoid or rather which would be the best pick?

if you haven't checked out a 1000R display in person i would recommend doing that before purchasing.
that is a very tight curvature.

anything over 1800R seemed a bit too much for me when researching which to get.
but it's all personal opinion.

Corsair Xenon Flex 45WQHD240 might interesting to look into just announced it's 3440x 1440 with 240 hz oled screen and adjustable curve.

I would say it depends on a couple of factors.
If you have a big budget then the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is the best option
I have the non-Neo G9 and it is a great monitor. The limited number of dimming zones is the only drawback.
I also have the 16:9 27" curved G5 as a side monitor. This one has more ghosting than the G9 but I just use it as a prereferral vision monitor in MSFS 2020.
If I was setting up a sim cockpit I would go with the noncurved monitors just because the way MSFS does multi-monitor in update 10 makes the curved a bit distorted. MSFS lets you set render windows so you can set a front view and then add a side view that is rotated 90 degrees.
