CU34G2XP

Lots of "VA bad" vibes, but this monitor is pretty solid. No black smearing that I see. Only oddity is that sometimes things colored a solid blue will look slightly striped like old CRT monitors. Only noticeable on websites and such, not in game. Do not buy for HDR reasons... not an HDR monitor.

I have this and really like it. Playing mostly arc raiders and enjoying the bit of extra peripheral vision. By no means a cultured gamer so to VA stuff doesn’t bug me enough to not enjoy it

It was pretty smooth for me to adjust as the radius isn’t super aggressive. Those 800-1000R ones I’d immune would take more adapting. But even for work and just browsing, the curve doesn’t bother me

I have this. It works great. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/aoc-cu34g2xp-34-va-curved-gaming-monitor-wqhd-3440x1440-180hz-1ms-freesync-hdr-400-black-silver-red/JX9GSKPJQR

hahaha i have same dilemma right now and i google every info about msi. i have been using AOC CU34G2XP/BK for 2 weeks but i turned it back because of gamma shifting and curved screen annoyed me a little bit so i think about this msi but msi have lower PPI and bigger FLAT screen that also can be annoying. very hard to decide. remember msi have 144 hz and its overdrived to 155 and there is Absence of height adjustment feature in msi and worse colors than AOC. didnt had this msi but for simracing i think its better because bigger but its flat and it can annoy you a little bit. i turned back aoc cu but i think i will test msi and if i will not like msi i turn it back and get back aoc again. \+ also when i was using aoc for gaming flat screen is ok but normal regular work, text, DAW or anything it was pain in ass my eyes had huge discomfort

Honestly a really good deal even if refurb. Just return it if it's dead. Sure it's a VA that probably has smearing/ghosting but it's cheap as hell

I prefer VA with smearing over IPS glow. Reddit hivemind however says IPS is superior and VA shouldn’t exist

I got one earlier this year for my desk simracing rig. This sale price is great.

Yeah I think it's worth it. Monitors are very important and they last long, so it's worth paying a bit more. I got this CU34G2XP and I'm happy with it. AOC monitors are pretty good at minimizing VA smear, and 180Hz feels much better than 100Hz.
