Ultrawide monitor: flat vs curved? (lemmy.ml)

I'm in the market for a new monitor and I wanted to get a ultrawide, I almost exclusively play videogames on my PC. I found some good candidates, but because of price I'm heavily leaning towards a flat panel instead of a curved one, namely AOC U34G3X.

Is a flat ultrawide panel much worse than a curved one for gaming? I've used flat panels since they started selling it, but the longer diagonal scares me a bit. I'm currently using a 27" flat panel.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

Curved screens require being right in front of them. It doesn't work for TVs in my opinion because you can be located anywhere in the room to watch TV, but I think it's perfect for PC, where your chair is placed smack in the center of the monitor. I love my curved PC monitor.
