Why do manufacturers insists on putting curved screens on 27 inch monitors? It’s gimmicky and useless on screens that size.

Shame, because otherwise, it looks a great monitor.

I tried curved monitor screens in a shop and it made me feel dizzy.

As someone who uses both a flat 27" and a curved 27" on a daily basis, it's not useless at all. It's noticeably different and not in a bad way.

I love my curved monitor! Maybe I'm just weird

In Elite Dangerous it feels a bit more like being in a cockpit.

Yeah I have a 34" curved monitor and a 27" flat monitor using both doesnt do anything to me eyes ...but I wouldnt go back to game on a flat monitor

The curve on the 32" must be magnificent for gaming!
27" is definitely the smallest size that can get away with a curve.

One of my monitors is a 1440 27" flat monitor from AOC and I have been impressed with its quality and picture. Prior that that I had an Illyama and that was surprisingly inferior and failed after a few years.

kalniel · 9 Jul 2019 at 11:48

What is the colour accuracy like on these monitors?

so if I buy a new monitor would you recommend that I get a curved one? I have no experience of a curved monitor at all - so any info is welcome.

Jamin280672 · 13 Jul 2019 at 05:40

Hands up if you need RGB on the back of your monitor where you're never going to see it......

I would suggest going somewhere first hand so you can see it just to make sure, the black shirt shop usually have them thats where I went to see them and it made me feel dizzy, I had my glasses on at the time. It was weird like my eyes couldnt focus properly. I`m long sighted and short sighed so its probably down to that.

I am both long sighted and short sighted. But for monitors I don’t wear glasses. I got one of them gunners computer glasses that has both a slight prescription and a prismatic eff3ct as well as the blue light reduction coating. Gunners will do prescription lenses but perhaps you could get a third pair of prescription specs specifically for computer use ie. 1m focus distance.

I have prescription glasses just for computer work already with intermediate lenses. They are fine for me don't see point in spending more on specs I don't really need. If I don't wear glasses then the monitor is just a blurry mess so your prescription is a lot different to mine if you don't wear glasses for monitor work.

Indeed, hopefully this fad will die out soon as otherwise that's a really decent screen for the money.

Always annoys me that curved screens are usually cheaper (or on offer more) than their flat brothers and sisters I assume this is because nobody wants them? I had a 65 in Curved TV a while back lasted 2 weeks until I put a flat one back in... gimmicky crap.

More likely that the sales on curved monitors are better, therefore more are produced, therefore the manufacture cost is lower, which leads to the better prices. I use a 34" Curved 4K HP Omen at home and 100% would not go back to a flat monitor for gaming. Definitely has a better feel of immersion. Curved TV's I haven't experienced but I expect the effect is lost due to how far away you generally sit from the TV.
