Hi there,

 

Just wondering if i could get some recommendations on a 34” ultrawide monitor please? The usage is for both working from home and gaming.
Budget is around $700.

 

There appears to be a few that regularly go on sale at this price range with similar specs.
E.g. 144hz or 165hz VA panels.

 

Also they have varying curvature levels ranging from 1000R, 1500R and 1800R. Is there much difference? Which curvature is recommended for this size screen?

 

There’s also some Titan Army branded ones but haven’t been able to find much reviews on.

 

I've 'shortlisted' down to these 5 - Are any of these good? or alternatives?

I've got a slightly older Titan Army curved 34" that I purchased second hand from @gehenna, bloody good monitor, no complaints at all from me and afaik he only sold it as he upgraded to a 49".

Both myself and @michaelmurfy have the Xiaomi monitor and it is really good.
