too many 27" 1440p options these days, they should have targeted the ultra wide crowd with that 5000:1 contrast. nice specs though

VA wouldn’t be my first choice.

I have a MSI MAG401QR, 40" Ultrawide 3440 x 1440 IPS, 155Hz, FreeSync monitor with built in KVM switch. It’s a nice bit of kit but not curved. I’d say at 40” you might want a bit of a curve but it’s still a good experience without it. 27” definitely does not need a curve and it’s just a checkmark feature at that size.
