So far, 2021 has proven itself to be the year of the curved monitor. They’re everywhere. In store, online, and glamming up desks the world over.
The curved monitor is undeniably glamorous. But are curved screens actually better than the old-fashioned flat screen alternative?
That’s the question we’ll be dissecting today. Curved monitors are a new technology, but they are fast becoming a growing tech trend.
Is this a case of style over substance or are curved monitors a genuine upgrade?
More and more buyers are choosing curved monitors over flat ones. If you’ve been thinking about making the switch, then you’ve come to the right place.
We’ll be discussing everything you need to know about curved monitors. The pros, the cons, and the all-important question – curved or flat?
So, without further ado, let’s get started!
Curved monitors have increased in popularity over recent years. A curved monitor is just like your standard computer monitor. The only difference is the curvature. Different monitors come with different levels of curvature. Curvature is measured with an ‘R’ rating. The lower the R rating the greater the level of curvature. The most common curvature levels are 1800 R, 3000R, and 400R. Even though you can find smaller curved monitors, most curved monitors are on the larger side. And that’s for good reason. To get the full effect of the curvature, you’ll want a 32-inch screen minimum.
The main difference between curved and flat monitors is immersion. Curved monitors are specifically designed to provide users with more immersive and comfortable experiences. Curved monitors use ocular perception technologies to recreate real-life, immersive viewing experiences in three dimensions. After all, in the real world, we don’t see things on a flat screen. Curved monitors give us the impression of having peripheral vision while using our devices.
Other than the viewing experience itself, curved and flat monitors are very similar. Tech wise, they are almost identical. They use the same inputs and share the same resolution capabilities. Choosing between a curved or a flat monitor is purely a matter of preference. If you’ve got the space on your desk for a large-scale piece to sit then a curved monitor might be for you. If you’re short of room then a flat screen is probably going to be more convenient. At the end of the day, you’ll still have all the features you need whatever monitor type you choose.
When it comes to user experience, curved monitors offer some great benefits. And that’s probably why curved screens are becoming increasingly popular among gaming fans. A curved monitor will immerse you in a game in a more life-like, action-packed way, by offering the illusion of having peripheral vision. But that’s not all. Aside from immersion, curved screens are great for eliminating distortion, offering a wider field of view, and are actually better for your eyes.
Flat screen monitors have long been associated with visual distortion. Luckily, distortion is minimized on a curved screen. That’s because curved screens project light directly at the user. Flat screens on the other hand direct light in a straight line (past the viewer) thus creating image distortion.
Did you know that curved screens are actually kinder on our eyes? Because curved screens direct light at the user that means our eyes are able to take in the visuals in front of us without too much strain. Large flat screens, on the other hand, often exceed our natural field of vision. When we try to take in all of this information, we naturally strain our eyes.
The reason curved screens offer such immersive experiences is because they offer a much wider field of vision than their flat screen counterparts. This is especially true if you opt for an ultrawide curved monitor. These ultrawide screens are stretched horizontally which actually accentuates the immersive experience of using a curved screen.
Curved monitors do not involve any kind of learning curve. However, there are some minor challenges you may encounter if you make the switch from flat to curved. First and foremost, curved monitors are expensive. Although their prices have dropped since their initial market entrance, curved screens are still significantly higher in price than their flat-screen counterparts. And the larger the monitor, the more you should expect to spend.
Other than price, you’ll need to be prepared to install your new monitor with a bit more care than you might be used to. Curved screens can be tricky to mount – especially if you’re planning to mount it to a wall. If you’re planning to place your new monitor on a desk, you’ll need plenty of space. You may also want to consider where you position your workspace. Curved screens are prone to glare in certain light sources. Make sure that your screen is angled in a way to mitigate this nuisance.
Aside from these minor issues, curved monitors offer no additional technical issues. As we’ve already mentioned, a curved monitor is just a flat monitor in disguise. So, all that’s left is to pick the perfect screen for you!
When it comes to choosing your perfect curved monitor, it’s important to consider how much space you have available to accommodate the screen’s curvature. You’ll also need to decide exactly how much curvature you want, the level of resolution you need, and some practical aspects such as display ports and speakers. Think carefully about how much curvature you actually want.
Not all curved monitors come with the same degree of curvature. Some offer gentle curvature. Others arc around quite tightly. There’s no right or wrong answer. It’s worth testing out some options to see what’s most comfortable for you. Consider how close to the screen you’re likely to sit and how immersive you want your experience to be.
So, you’ve decided to upgrade your monitor for a more immersive experience. That’s great news. But which monitor is right for you? There are tons of curved monitors on the market today ranging in price, size, resolution, and curvature. The choice can be a little overwhelming.
We recommend doing plenty of research and it It can help to read real customer reviews to see if your preferred screen has lived up to other customers’ expectations or come up short. It’s also important to know exactly what you’re looking for.
Curved monitors vary in depth, size, resolution and curvature. But a small screen isn’t necessarily worse than a big screen, and a deep curve isn’t automatically superior to a gentle one. It’s all about figuring out what works best for you.
To help get you started, we’ve identified some of the top features to look out for in a curved monitor.
How much curvature are you after? This is probably the most important factor to consider when buying a curved monitor. After all, the curve is what it’s all about, right? Don’t get the deepest curve available just because you can.
Try a few out to see which viewing experience you like the best. This all comes down to personal preference. In general, the more curvature the more immersive the experience. So, if you’re a hard-core gamer then a deep curve might be perfect for you. If you’re going to be using your monitor primarily for work, however, then a gentle curve might be better.
If you’re investing in a curved monitor don’t settle for anything less than full HD resolution. For an even sharper picture experience then a 4k curved monitor is guaranteed to dazzle.
Monitor size is important but there’s no right or wrong answer here. It’s all about finding a curved monitor that will fit well in your own space. Remember, curved monitors take up a little bit more room than their flat counterparts. So, you might not want to opt for a screen that’s too big if you haven’t got oodles of space to spare.
So, what’s it going to be?
To curve or not to curve, that is the question. Whether you’re looking to improve your working environment and ease that eye strain, or enjoy a truly immersive gaming experience, then a curved monitor might just be perfect for you.
Whether you’re after a gentle curve or some serious arcing, it’s always best to try out a few options before you buy. Curved screens are super chic. But that’s not all they have to offer. Whichever screen you opt for, upgrading to a curved monitor promises plenty of fantastic benefits.
