Hi Everyone, I’m looking to upgrade my gaming setup, and I’ve been hearing a lot about curved gaming monitors . I’m curious if they’re worth the investment or if they’re more of a gimmick. I thought this would be the perfect place to ask since many of you are likely tech-savvy and have experience with gaming hardware. Here’s my current situation: I mostly play single-player RPGs, open-world games, and occasionally some FPS titles. My current monitor is a flat 27-inch 1080p display with a 60Hz refresh rate. I’m considering a curved monitor with a higher refresh rate (144Hz or more) and possibly 1440p resolution. My questions are: Does the curved design actually make a noticeable difference in immersion, especially for open-world games? Are there any downsides to curved monitors, like distortion or compatibility issues with certain games? What’s the ideal screen size and curvature (e.g., 1800R, 1500R) for a gaming-focused curved monitor? Do I need a high-end GPU to fully utilize a curved 1440p monitor, or will my mid-range setup (GTX 1660 Super) handle it well? I’d love to hear your thoughts, recommendations, or even personal experiences with curved monitors. Thanks in advance for your help!

Curved Gaming Monitors – Are They Worth the Investment?

Hi Everyone,

I’m looking to upgrade my gaming setup, and I’ve been hearing a lot about curved gaming monitors. I’m curious if they’re worth the investment or if they’re more of a gimmick. I thought this would be the perfect place to ask since many of you are likely tech-savvy and have experience with gaming hardware.

Here’s my current situation:

I’m considering a curved monitor with a higher refresh rate (144Hz or more) and possibly 1440p resolution.

My questions are:

Does the curved design actually make a noticeable difference in immersion, especially for open-world games?
Are there any downsides to curved monitors, like distortion or compatibility issues with certain games?

Thanks for starting this discussion! I play Avatar World Game on PC and lately I’ve been experiencing some lag—especially during busy scenes. I’m currently on a MacBook Pro 2018 (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD), and I’m wondering if an upgrade to a curved monitor or even a full setup might help. If anyone has monitor or PC build suggestions that work well for modded games like this, I’d love to hear them!
