The main issue with curved displays to me is they're reliant on staying in the perfect sweetspot. I like to sit up close to the screen when gaming and lean back, reclining my chair when doing things like watching KZitem. Plus I'm a bit of a spaz and can't sit still for more than a few minutes. If you leave that sweetspot you also get warping of the image which can also be annoying and for some even nauseating. I mean, I never had issues with 3D TVs and displays yet I hear people say it all the time.

That's an aspect I didn't really think about. I lean closer because my vision is bad and sometimes to snipe pixels at long range with iron sights in games, I just need to. If the curve forces a sweetspot, it really doesn't take that use-case into account.

If I recall curved monitors aren't ideal for competitive gaming due to the curvature distorting the player's fov which can in turn cause inconsistencies when playing at a high level. If you're a casual user, then having a curve monitor would be the better choice but if you want to play games semi competitively, choosing a flat monitor would be a safer option.

All perspective content (both games and film) are projected onto flat planes, not curved. So technically you're seeing a warped image on curved displays. No idea how perceptible this error is, but it's possible that it bothers people! Games could theoretically do correct projection for a curved display... would be interesting to test 🤔

It pisses me off so much when people go "oh the ONLY reason for curved screens is because it isn't an IPS panel". Like yes, that is A REASON that they were developed (high resolution screens where you're closer means a greater viewing angle at the edges so you get washed out colors, etc), but there are a LOT of other benefits! Eye strain is the main benefit, it is proven with actual experimental studies that curved monitors reduce eye strain/fatigue. It increased the time required to have eye-fatigue/strain by a factor of 3. It's massive. I got a 1440p 27 inch curved display to replace by old ass 24 inch 1080p 10 year old monitor. It is amazing. When compared to a flat IPS panel I would choose a curved VA display any day for eye strain.
@nicholash8021

The problem with curved is that it solves only one dimension of curvature (section of a cylinder). It needs to be spherical (section of a sphere) for each pixel to be equidistant from your eyes. That's why the screen seems pinched in the middle vs the corners on a curved monitor. Therefore, it's a half-baked solution which, after owning two of them, got really annoying to me to deal with as a coder. I went back to flat monitors.

I have both.Curved monitors only make sense if you're buying a screen 34 inches or larger. For 27-32 inch screens they make very little sense, and they're very much INFERIOR in every meaningful way to a quality IPS or OLED panel that's flat. Color accuracy is more consistent on flat panels, and the viewing angle as well. Oh, and about 90% of all curved monitors on the market use inferior HVA panels.

This is all depending on the size monitor. The large the monitor the more pronounced the curve generally is. The Corsair flex is the only one that allows you to adjust the curve. For movies the curve is best at the center whereas a flat is beneficial for all angles. The curve will get in the way of you sit at a far angle. For gaming the curve is best up close allowing you to see content at the far edge clearly without any distortion or greyness compared to a large flat monitor even OLED.

Curved at 34 is the sweet spot I think. I tried the ultra wide and reverted back to 34. It’s just more practical unless you want to sim race or sim fly. It just comes down to what you want to play. I enjoy immersion and picture quality over FPS competitive games which require a smaller screen and high FPS. Curve is fine as long as the curve is right for the application it’s being used for.
