This one is better on paper. Qhd vs fhd. Curved vs not curved. Totally dependent on what's important to you though.
My kids play Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite. I ordered a monitor from Amazon that's arriving tomorrow, but now I'm considering returning it for the Costco one instead. Which would you recommend for these games?"
I'm not sure what you got from Amazon, or how advanced your kids are in gaming, so I hesitate to tell you what to do. For playing basic Roblox games, mostly any monitor would be fine in my opinion. Minecraft and Fortnite on the other hand, can get pretty graphics heavy, so a higher resolution/refresh rate monitor could be appreciated there.
Thank you for your answer.
This is the Monitor from Amazon:
SAMSUNG Odyssey G3 27-Inch FHD Monitor, 180Hz Refresh Rate, 1ms Response, AMD FreeSync, Adjustable Stand

Much better monitor $160 Amazon Link at the top of the page

Very good Competitive Gaming monitor with very good viewing angle fantastic color great response time, but bad glowiness in the corners during dark scenes. Probably not in monitor for AAA gaming or movie watching. $200 Best Buy link at the top of the page
And here is probably the best all around for 260 Link at the top of the page, most consistent contrast, very clean screen image, excellent motion except for a bit of smearing of blacks probably not too noticeable

DONT BUY THE ORIGINAL POSTED MONITOR ABOVE THE MOTION IS VERY BAD. It's a blurring mess look at the motion section on the review here

EDIT definitely definitely cancel that monitor order the one that you got, the G3, the Motion blur is heartbreakingly bad... Right above here are three great monitors posted in comparison
FIne, you play your game this way, I go for 1000R and GTG. goodbye

Because of my DNS blocking "ads" I can't check the monitors the other guy suggested, but I don't like the original one OR the one you bought. Both have mediocre brightness at 250/300 nits max bright. If you want something that will last you want to start much higher than that, because brightness only gets dimmer with age and use.
Not sure why so many companies keep making 250 nit monitors and often seem to hide the brightness spec when laptop buyers are starting to look at 300 as something only on low end systems.
