My current setup (well the computer died and I'm building a new system in another thread here).. but I have dual 27 inch 1080p monitors. One of them is 120hz.

After I pay off the parts I bought to build the new system I am thinking I want to upgrade my monitors. Should I stick with flat monitors or go with curved?

TL;DR - How are curved monitors when using dual or triple monitors and video editing? I've never owned curved monitors before, but I'm seeing a lot of them around these days. How do they look while watching say a TV show or watching from a distance (my bed)?

Things I do on my system:

Gaming on one monitor
Video ediing using multiple monitors using Adobe Premiere
Watching television/movies/web surfing

I'm definitely looking to go bigger.. 32" or 34". Probably 32" due to pricing. Probably 1440p. Probably 144hz. Maybe triple monitors. When I game I put the game on one monitor and website or something else on a second monitor. That won't change with triple monitors.. what it'll be really useful for is the video editing - putting tools on one screen, timeline on another screen, and my preview window on a third.

Anyway, I'm not looking for specific monitor recommendations.. I'll Google and find that out.

Just looking to see how are curved monitors when using dual or triple monitors and video editing or just doing stuff in general? I do graphic editing also, which I'll also be trying to learn more of Illustrator for converting raster to vector art.

The idea I don't like but I can't say I don't like them as I've never tried.

Not sure how I can rectify that without going into one of those 'shop' type places *shudders*

Did people generally check them out or just take a leap and pick one up?

I've seen them in stores. Looking at them on the shelf is not really good enough. I wish I knew someone locally who had one. Gaming is one thing, but what I'm curious is how photo editing and video editing is.

I think I may just go flat again.
