Samsung G9 Odyssey 49" curved screen monitor

I spent a couple of hours with my Godfather (Snaggle) working on graphics and monitors and we put the new monitor through its paces and it is spectacular. 

For someone that doesn't like/want VR....  this is fantastic and it makes using your expensive hardware peripherals a snap. All this and we have not even pushed it so far as it is capable of 240hz refresh rate. It is truly immersive, I almost ducked when I closed the canopy on the 109. 

I got it for my driving sim...   but now I have to get another one for the flight sim... I have been trying to think of a way to talk myself out of it and I can't come up with a reason.

I've always wanted to try out a curved monitor.  But they've traditionally been so expensive.  With VR, it's kind of been pushed off a bit.  But I may indulge next time I upgrade my computer.

My wife's computer is a smaller (27"), curved, 1080p, 144hz monitor and a lot of games look so much better than my similarly sized flat, 4k, 60hz.  

I imagine with a width and resolution like yours and up to 240hz refresh, things look amazing!

I don't remember the size but I think mine is somewhere in the 30" range but my monitor is curved and it's great.  I would love to upgrade to something a bit bigger but there are a lot of things pulling at my wallet right now and computer stuff is at the absolute bottom of the priority list.  For anyone thinking about going to a curved monitor for sims I would highly recommend it.

For reference, this is the monitor I have:

TUF Gaming VG27VQ - Review｜Monitors｜ASUS USA

It's 27" and around $250.  Besides being one of the smaller monitors I've had, its quality is superb.
