Both 800R curved regular ultrawides and super ultrawide are the closest you can get to a VR gaming experience without a VR headset – the immersion is truly magnificent. It works best for those who have used 16:9 monitors consistently, as it’s a step up for better perspectives in several games, and, if you’re lucky, some movies that support the 32:9 aspect ratio.

OLED is still undefeated

You may have heard people say that once you go OLED, you can’t go back, and that certainly resonates with me. The difference between OLED and regular LED monitors (even mini-LED in some ways) is astonishing, and the difference is clear when you view them side by side.

The backlight bleed on LEDs is mostly evident during darker sequences in games or movies, stripping away image quality and clarity, but with an OLED, there’s none of that.

You can enjoy darker scenes with deep black levels without the constraints of backlight bleed, since OLED panels don’t use a backlight, making them perfect for horror games, or even productivity cases against darker backgrounds.
