Non curve is fantastic for office work and productivity.
For anyone on the edge. My thoughts:
Got 2 and a simple dual-stacked monitor stand (Newegg and Amazon sell em for $30-40). 3440x1440 x 2 = is greater than 4k vertical and almost 7k horizontal. Bottom HP 34x at eye level and top tilted 5 degrees.
*Pic below*
Pros:
For office and financial work - this is amazing. NOT having a curve is fantastic for this size. All excel, charts and graphs have straight lines - nothing warped and bending. Curve is great for gaming and immersion - but horrible for productivity.
Strong brightness for use near a window.
More resolution than QHD - these are 3440x1440
Easy to use 100x vesa mount - no spacers or adapters needed. Provided screws work with with nearly any mount / arm.
Liquid smooth 165hz through display port (3060TI or any modern graphics card) - never going back to annoying 60hz. Moving the cursor or resizing windows / objects is effortless and has no flicker.
Above average color and text sharpness. Easy on the eyes even at higher brightness levels.
Thin bezels - as you can see from the attached picture I inverted the top 34x so the thin bezels are in the middle.
HP Omen software a nice surprise - lightweight / no conflicts - and almost all monitor adjustments can be done for EVERY monitor plugged in through your windows desktop/mouse cursor. Fast and no reaching behind the monitor pressing buttons (though some specific power / sleep options only available with the buttons)
Cons:
1 inch of vignetting on each size when viewing straight on. Only noticeable with a solid white background. Essentially 32 inches seems to be the limit of a wide monitor before this happens - hence why most are curved.
Pixel pitch not gong to be as sharp as say a 4k 27 inch or 32 inch....but those at 144hz are always double the price of these. You come out ahead if you purchase 2 of these and stack em.
IPS glow but no worse than any other non-full array LED monitor.
Like most IPS LEDs - HDR lackluster.
Highly recommended for anyone in the office - no brainer at $350 or $450. Especially when stacked together.

IPS panels contrast ranging between 700:1 - 1500:1, but they're still not as good as VA panels. Most VA panels on monitors have contrast ratios above 2500:1, with some as high as 5000:1 - 6000:1. Newer monitors even use local dimming to achieve much higher contrast ratios.

i also don't understand the need/want for this size monitor to be curved and was happy this one was flat. doesn't feel like it needs to be curved all to me, especially with the good viewing angles.

it's actually ok. Lightweight and better than ASUS or Razer crap.
cheers
