I just get the same 2 week ago... wonderfull monitor. Unless you pay like 300dls more, you aren't gonna be able to find something really better. This is a new beast.

In short. For me in my case no. I have both. An older MSI 34 VA 3440x1440 curved which I used to game on and bought a LG C2 42 Oled 2 years ago. Never would go back to the MSI for gaming. I just use it to work from home and slip it on the side whenever I want to start a Game. I know the MSI is not on oled but I love the size and the screen so much more on the LG. Plus the LG can do Ultrawide also which I use here and there for demanding titles and just because of better frames. If you can go 4K and have the hardware to do so then I would go 16:9. I don't miss the ultrawide and the 21:9 ratio at all.

Looks nice, I also have an MSI monitor but a curved 34UW. Works and looks great!

I have an msi 34 inch ultrawide. Both gaming and work. I see no issues here

It is minimal but still there. Msi already has a 34" ultrawide with rgb stripe layout. Tandem is OK but not perfect.
