When it comes to choosing a gaming monitor, there’s nothing like an ultrawide curved screen. And there’s no point in having a great gaming rig without a top-class screen to render all those sharp images. Here are four great reasons why you should add a curved monitor to your gaming setup.
Better for close-up viewing
As most gamers do, spending a lot of time behind a screen can be hard on your eyes. This is why it’s always a good idea to pick something that’s designed to be easy on the eye – literally. A curved monitor follows the natural curvature of the human eye, making it far more comfortable to look at your screen and putting less strain on your eyes. The LG UltraWide Gaming Monitor takes eye care to the next level and even includes a sphere light that produces an indirect light source which helps reduce eye fatigue. The monitor also has a V-line stand that can be adjusted to suit any gamer's eye level and height.
Offers a more immersive experience
Curved monitors are an excellent way to fully immerse yourself in your games, as the curvature subtly creates more depth within the screen. The UltraWide Gaming Monitor, for instance, offers a 21:9 aspect ratio that, combined with the curved screen, allows gamers to see more, giving you a strategic advantage. On top of the wider screen, Nano IPS offers detailed and wide-ranging colours, making those cut scenes and landscapes really pop. Throw in the monitor’s Nvidia G-SYNC technology and an incredibly high 120Hz overclock refresh rate and you’ve got the ultimate gaming experience without having to worry about tearing or stuttering ruining your stats.
Perfect for work and play
If you’re an avid gamer who works from home, then investing in a curved monitor will help you dominate in real life too. The curved panels are designed to limit the amount of head movement needed to see the sides of the screen, which comes in handy when you’re working with multiple windows side-by-side. No more tabbing between programmes or documents: with more screen space, you can have everything open and displayed at once. The adjustable stand means you can make sure the screen is the perfect height to keep your back and neck comfortable throughout a long workday (potentially followed by a long night of gaming).
It looks great
Finally, aside from the many technical advantages a curved monitor offers, it’s also just an incredibly aesthetically pleasing look. Take the UltraWide’s four-side virtually borderless screen as an example; it’s both ergonomic and effortlessly stylish – truly a head-turning piece of tech.
A curved monitor really is a game changer. If you want to experience more immersive gameplay when you’re not working, and view your important documents simultaneously when you are, it’s a win-win!
