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

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.
For the same reason there are no curved IPS panels... It's difficult. Since there are no curved IPS panels, no one wants to make 34" UW panels because it is simply horrible to use such a wide flat panel. Now, we are no longer in 2022 and earlier where only Samsung panels above the G6 were good VA panels, now panels made by TCL CSOT, using Samsung's old factories and their patents are capable of decent performance. The difficult part is finding monitors that use these panels... For now, I can confirm that AOC CU34G2XP and CU34G4Z KTC H34S18 Lenovo G34W-30 Philips Evnia 34M2C3500L TCL 34R83Q They are the only ones that do or do use these "new" HVA panels from TCL CSOT which have performance in response times much higher than the rest of the VA panels not made by TCL.
I'm using 2 stacked. Top is aoc cu34g2xp 34" and my main is my Samsung Neo G9 49".
