Really stuggling to find a monitor with those specifications. I use excel a lot and i'm just worried a monitor with 1800R is too much curve. Trying not to go too far above the $700 per monitor mark. Want a dual screen set-up for productivity.

    1800R is fine using excel with 16:9 ratio (dual)

    I don't there is 3000R 27~32" QHD monitor on the market. There are 1800R, 1500R and flat 27~32" QHD for your choice.

    How about Samsung 27CJG54Q, 1800R and under $500?

      this is a really good option. just wondering if you think prices will come down a bit if i can wait until black friday.

        A 27" monitor is about 60cm wide. If it has 1800R curvature, the edges will be about 3cm forward of the centre. A 3000R 27" monitor would have the edges about 1.7cm forward of the centre.

        If you are prepared to wait until black Friday, I suggest looking at some monitors in a shop of assess how much curvature you prefer.

        I just saw you'd updated your post with a poll with dual screen options. As you mentioned, you use Excel a lot, why not consider a ultrawide (21:9) monitor. Ultrawide is better then dual screen setup for Excel, IMO. You can get a 34" ultrawide within your $700 budget,

        Currently, Xiaomi Mi Surface Display (1500R) is selling like a hot cake, for under $640.

        or if you prefer flat screen

        ASUS VP348QG (flat) for around $650.

        I can't find any 1800R ultrawide under $700 or around, sorry.

    You may as well buy a non-curved display. 3000R curve is very minimal, to a point where it's rather pointless to even have a curve of that type on a smaller display.

    Especially 27" in the normal 16:9 aspect ratio — personally I think these are too small to have a significant benefit from having a curve. For 32" and up it makes sense, especially with Ultrawide.

    ok thanks for the info guys… looks like ill be going with a flat monitor! :)

    The curve becomes more useful when you start looking at ultra wide resolutions (21:9 ratio) at around 34" (i.e the same vertical height as a standard 27" 16:9). Less than that and I wouldn't bother.
