As our loyal followers know, we've been doing a lot of monitor reviews lately. We've reviewed many products with both OLED and VA/IPS panels. It's clear, especially from your comments, that OLED monitors are currently prohibitively expensive, to say the least.
Today, we have the most affordable 34-inch 2K curved monitor on the market, featuring an 180Hz refresh rate and a 0.5ms response time. Actually, that's pretty much the summary of the video. The full name of the model we have is the Philips Evnia Curved Fast VA Gaming monitor 34M2C3500L/00.

I did some current research for you and investigated the differences between monitors I've come across with similar features in this price range. If you want a monitor with curved or full HD resolution, you can certainly get it for half the price. However, speaking specifically for 2025, I'd say it's a good option for those who don't have the budget for OLED but want the best pre-OLED curved monitor they can get, with a 34-inch screen.
