Don't monst gamers game on a tv via a ps/xbox?
True but they are lucky to get 30 FPS most of the time, and the controller is a lot more clumsy and imprecise compared with a mouse. Most conventional advice suggests that monitors are usually much better than TVs for gaming. For productivity purposes rather than gaming, would people recommend this one:

Or a curved version:

Albeit 50% more expensive

Been using the iiyama xub3490wqsu, great monitor.
Has a USB 3.0 hub, 3 HDMI in and DP in. Speakers are, of course, pretty terrible but there's a headphone jack out.
I chose it because it wasn't curved and I've had great experiences with Iiyama monitors.
Love it for work, haven't played any games on it though. I did need to beef up my GPU to be able to run it properly.

Got the same monitor, very happy.Has a USB 3.0 hub, 3 HDMI in and DP in. Speakers are, of course, pretty terrible but there's a headphone jack out.

Although next time I would go curved as the edges of this seem a long way away
