Hi, just needed some help on suggestions for upgrading my monitor setup at home.

Current have a 27" Samsung Odyssey G52 LS27AG524PEXXY QHD IPS 165Hz Gaming Monitor but am looking to upgrade the monitors I have to be more productive.

I've got a Arc Stealth Dual in its box waiting to mount 2 monitors.

Main work usage just for excel, canva and light adobe work. Light gamer of Dota 2.

Requirements
32" or more
Budget is $300-$500 each monitor.
Less than 8kg (as per weight restrictions on each arm)

I've also heard that its better to get a IPS for better colours, is that correct?

Never had a curved screen but am open to it. What are the pros and cons to curved screens?

TIA

  Just get the Dell 32 inch 4K IPS gaming monitor. Suits your needs and best bang for the buck.

        VA panel though. Tough to go back to that after IPS.

        Here's a list of options to trawl through OP: https://www.mwave.com.au/monitors/lcd-led-monitors?sortid=1&…

        I'm partial to Viewsonics if they're for productivity only. Work really well, sharp text and colours. For gaming you might want to consider the LG UltraGear 165 Hz.

      Really isn't that hard to find, quick google would've found that for you and much quicker.

  I got a couple of these

  The only 34inch IPS monitors I could find under $600, bit out of the price range but it could suit your needs.
