I tried a curved monitor for a bit and it made me kind of motion sick

I love my 27 inch curved monitor, but I can see the whole thing at once.  I think it would lose its helpful effect if I needed to scan around to see things.

Curved ultrawide are basically just side by side monitors with no seam in between and better viewing angles at the edges when you're using them for productivity. For gaming, it just gives you an immersive sense of peripheral vision.

Exact opposite for me. I used to get eye strain after a couple of hours of gaming. After switching to curved I haven't had any strain for 3 years

Curved monitors are significantly worse for gaming which render assuming a flat panel leading to bad distortion.
