The 1000r is very curved. The sides of the monitors are like arms trying to hug you. It's sort of tacky if you want to be negative.
It's probably not as bad as a 1000R on a 27 inch I've had as it's 5 inches bigger. But I really didn't like the aggressive curve. It gave me headaches as the article points out here:
- It can cause perceivable distortion to images at the edges of your display
- You could suffer from increased eye fatigue due to constant changes in your eyes' plane of view while glancing across the screen.
I was wondering why the cool G5 27 was giving me headaches and this article really pointed it out for me. Go for the Gigabyte 34 as it didn't really give me headaches during transition due to its relatively light curvature which seemed just right for a 34inch ultrawide.
And check out this article before you invest $400 on a ultrawide. And forget curved monitors under 34 inches with curves greater than 1800R imo.

Not necessarily agreeing/disagreeing, altho I wouldn't be taking any info or advice from biased sources, particularly a company who sells monitors, and especially when coming from an article whose sole purpose is an attempt to upsell curved monitors in order to justify their extra cost to the reader, for what is usually a more expensive product.
And yes, using a 27" to inform your opinion on the degree of curvature isn't exactly an apple to apples comparison. Furthermore, 1000R resembles the viewing angle of a human eye, so right now a monitor with this curve is the closest one can get to matching our natural field of vision.
As others have noted, you should highly consider a slight curve on a 21:9 but maybe just not this model.
How often does a scenario like this happen for the average person, ie: using your monitor that much off-axis, esp one at a size that big?
Here is actual data, from a legitimate study [nih.gov], measuring eye pain from visual fatigue after subjects watched a monitors with a curvature of 1000R, 2000R, 3000R, 4000R, and a flat-screen for 30 minutes.

I mean, anecdotal experience where you're gaming with a friend, as a guest on their monitor, isn't exactly a typical use case, nor a proper situation to be in when evaluating a monitor (for yourself)... No?

I'm in my forties and as a personal experience I've had difficulty while using said type of displays and with my personal experience concluded it is due to the conflict between natural sight vs curved monitor that creates a fishbowl effect more so with the latter.
Again it could just be me but I was pointing it out as a caution for other consumers looking for curved displays and ultrawide displays with strong curves greater than 1500R like that of my Gigabyte uwqhd.

However, I couldn't imagine NOT using a decent curve for a bigger screen, especially a 34". That Gigabyte is an awesome monitor for the price. I was eyeing one until I saw the KVM of the newer M series, so have been waiting for them to release one w/ your specs. They still haven't; might end up picking one if it gets cheap enough.

1) You dismissed my bias towards something that personally is important to me. I game with my kids and sit next to them. I found that 1800R and 1500R is the sweet spot where I can look over at their screen as needed and they get some benefits of a curve. An 1800R curve on a VA panel is much more forgiving than a 1000R specifically with regards to viewing angles. A proper use case by all means.
2) Your fatigue metrics...was that in response to my hypothesis that the bigger the curve, the worse the backlight bleed? If so, why do you think I care?

1) Cool story, bro. Go tell your wife or write it in a journal. Nobody gives a damn as to what is and is not personally important to you.
2) IDGAF what you care about — nor do I believe a significant majority of potential buyers do either — that's kinda my point.
My "fatigue metrics", aka actual data obtained from multiple participants in a study that was published to an academic journal, using pain after monitor use to assess the efficacy of curvature, wasn't in response to anyone.
It was to provide other SDer's practical info that's relevant to the actual product this deal was posted for, so they aren't left with biased information from a self-important dunce like yourself...

I'm not arguing; just pointing out the obvious, which is that not only is the premise of your "anecdotal experience" based upon the 32" version of this 34" Ultrawide, but that it's an extremely uncommon scenario which even if relevant, would represent such a miniscule percentage of time (if any) for the average user which any rational individual with a hint of self-awareness would realize is so insignificant to an overwhelming majority of potential buyers, that they'd refrain from giving out actual advice from such a ridiculous "use case".
