I have a curved monitor that is geared towards gaming, and I love it to death. It's good for productivity and for multitasking, for me it is at least. I can play Rs in the background while also having a regular window open doing course work or studying in general while not having to shrink down either window. ( I play on resizeable but basically fixed size). Only gripe I have is that some games mainly older ones are optimised for a curved monitor and causes some problems until I run it windowed mode. But other than that I'm happy with the purchase, but also think about getting a 1440p 27inch as a main and 24inch 1080p monitor sometimes as well.
