Any feedback on curved monitors for fighting games?

I've been searching for a monitor for a while for my computer and consoles (not just fighting games, I would use it on my PC games) and after studying a lot about panels (TN/IPS, input lag, colors, -sync, etc...) one of the monitors I'm liking the most is the samsung cf24fg73 (which is the same as the samsung cf24fg70 with different base and a couple of fixes).

That monitor has a lot of the stuff I'm looking for (under 300 € in some sites, 125% RGB, really low input lag, 144 Hz), BUT it has a curved screen. It has literally all the ingredients that would make me insta-buy it as it covers my gaming and working needs, but Samsung for some reason is obsesed with curved screens.

I've never played on a curved screen so I would like some feedback if some of you have tried one. My main concern is that for fighting games (or any non shooter) which I play a lot, it would distort distances when characters are separated. I also use graphical tools and I suspect it won't be a good idea either as it might distort shapes.

Thanks in advance for any feedback and advice!

I don't see a problem. I played injustice on a 60" curve tv and it wasn't bad besides the size of the TV. I actually like the idea of a curve monitor.

hey guys, is 49 inch TV too big and will be laggy? any advice please?

Thanks
What you're looking for on fighting games is Input Lag, normally the display lag that is shown doesn't tell the whole story and it's a bit harder to find details on input lag. There are some dedicated sites but even then some monitors would be hard to find.
