I cannot decide what monitor to buy
I was going to get 27 inch, but now I want a big monitor

Like 34 inch, cannot decide on curved, what is curved monitors like for gaming?
Especially x5 boxing ?

The ones I am considering are 31.5 inch and one is 34

ASUS XG32VQR 31.5inch ROG Strix Curved Gaming Monitor

XG32VQR


ASUS ROG Strix XG32VQ 31.5inch Curved Gaming Monitor

XG32VQ


and

LG 34inch 34GL750-B Curved UltraGear FreeSync IPS 144Hz Gaming Monitor

34GL750-B


I kinda like Asus ROG more

how does it workfor mulitboxing x5 accounts on one big monitor like 32 or 34 inch
Anyone got a pic in how theirs look on the One screen ?

I use 2 monitors currently, But only my main monitor has my 5 wow windows, 1 main 4 pip

Not sure how this would work or even look on a curved screen, it would be stretched and out of whack ?

I dont even notice the curve. sometimes i forget it is a curved screen.

This is a video of me playing bad! but it shows my layout.. and yes.. its very cluttered lol.

Thank You
How do you add the windows like that ?
Never seen it like that before with the 4 smaller ones on top of main window
Mine currently has the main window and then the 4 smaller pip windows underneath

Can you take a photo of the actual monitor with game open ?

I went for a curved screen just now, decided on a
LG 34inch 34GL750-B Curved UltraGear FreeSync IPS 144Hz Gaming Monitor
noidea if it will be good but once it's sent out and I get it I will find out lol
Hopefully comes at same time as my new beasty rig

That's the AMD equivalent of what i have. The small windows are done via video fx with isboxer.

HERE (https://isboxer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=3695) is one good guide on the "how to"

Ah okay so similar screens
Really looking forward to seeing how it goes once it arrives with the new pc
Never used a curve screen before so I hope I will like it for it's price tag, stuck with it either way lol

Thank You I will look into that guide now.
Looks complicated can you switch windows when they are clicked ? As in the little overlapping windows if I want to change the one I am leading on does it work the same way or are they like just fixed there ?

Need something like that made easy like added to the wizard in isboxer

You can click to switch..but i don't like that.. i assign hotkeys to them. Im still using an 18 extra Gkeys keyboard and i use G7-G11 to quickly swap windows.. its so fast that if you blink, you might think it didnt work!
