AGON by AOC Unveils the C27G2Z3 Full HD 280Hz Curved Monitor

This is a very interesting discussion which completely misses the main point of everything being absolutely subjective and up to individual preference. My wife worked on a 24" 1920x1200 screen and considered it perfect. I have a 43" 3840x2160 main screen 50cm from my eyes, a 27" 2560x1440 on one side and an old 24" 1920x1080 on another, usually a 13" notebook in front of me and yearn for a time I will be able to connect a computer directly to my optical nerves to have a 360° screen bubble around me. It's all about information density, I want my brain to always be on the verge of being overwhelmed. Not a joke, that's when I am most efficient and that's why I point out the subjective nature of the problem.

Personally the only reason for ultrawide screen popularity I can see is the fact they're cheaper to manufacture - manufacturers can cut more of them from the mother glass than 16:9 screens - but for general usage I consider them an abomination.

I used to have a 24" 1920x1200 screen which was absolutely amazing to work on.

But now, I wouldn't swap my 3440x1440 ultrawide for anything. The extra horizontal area really adds to game immersion. It's as close as you can get to that "direct optical nerve connection" today, I guess.

This is because TPU is wrongly designed for vertical, so called portrait orientation, it is targeted for smartphones use, the desktops be damned!

There's nothing wrong with that, in my opinion. It's a text-based website, after all.

It is not just text-based. There are reviews with plenty of images, photos, different graphs, etc., and the available 16:9 screen estate is not utilised optimally.

I uploaded a photo of Quake3 Arena locked to 20fps and you could count THREE distinct after-images (effectively 7Hz pixel refresh rate). At 144Hz a photo of Path of Exile where the labels on everything are white text on a black box, I counted 8-9 repeated frames - that's 16Hz

Sounds like even a 40-inch LCD TV from the late-'00s and early-2010s, would be a lot better than that!
