yes anon everything is a meme now go back to your 24 year old 4:3 CRT monitor so that you don't get ripped off by all the memes
I'm on a shitty 1080p Alienware from like 10 years ago thank you very much

>I'm on a Alienware
Enjoy being stuck with your single non-blurry native resolution.
This but unironically, the convex/bowl shape of CRT panels corrects for the perspective issue outlined here
and provides viewer accurate scaling of objects, curved monitors should curve away instead of towards and on both planes instead of one
Just a massive meme. Look for 4k with good refresh rate.
Excellent monitor, no game dev support.
It's only good with oled since those have the best viewing angles.
I like it
I got one off the side of the road the other day and I've been playing Death stranding and it's beyond based
Does suck for games that it won't work on it works on tf2 beautifully tho
I got a G7. Didn't care for the curvature, but the resolution and refresh rate were good and I couldn't find a better option, so I went with it. Must have had it for like 3 months and the screen started peeling off at the top today. Huge piece of shit. Now I'll have to send it to support and be a monitor short for God knows how long. Frick Samsung and frick curved monitors.
How did it peel off, were you rubbing it?
I guess it wasn't a good word choice, I think they used some shitty glue to keep the flexible screen where it should be and it can no longer hold, so I can see the backlight coming form the top of the screen at a place where it's no longer following the frame's curvature.
For monitors as big as the OP picture, you would want a curve. Any smaller and it's a meme.
Back when we used to eyefininity 3 1080p monitors into a big one for surround gaming, we ran the side monitors on an angle. So the curve makes sense for something so large.
On my curved 27" monitor I stopped noticing the curve after a few days so I'm gonna say it's mostly a meme except on ultrawides where it's mandatory.
mine is slightly curved and it makes it nice
yeah its great, once you get used to it flat panels seem weird and distorted
curved? not worth paying extra at all, ultrawide is very nice tho
Ultrawide? Only when developers explicitly support it, otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.
There's already a perspective issue with widescreen projection/fov on flatscreens where objects in your peripheral vision appear closer to you than in your direct vision and curved displays make this even worse by bringing the corners on the horizontal plane physically closer to your eyes, this also distorts objects on the vertical plane and makes pixel density inconsistent across the whole surface of display from the viewers perspective on top of adding an optimal viewing distance for the display to look good where a flatscreen has none of these issues.
The only actual benefit of curved monitors is that the maker saves money on volume shipping because they can cram a few more rows of a given advertised size onto a pallet or container versus an equivalent flatscreen
Massive meme.
Curved screens are pushed based on the fact that cinemas use them.
This ignores the fact this is because of the massive size.
Its like Nvidia's SLI no dev apart from Nvidia sponsored AAA garbage supports it. Its a useless gimmick
Makes perfect sense bro
I like ultrawide, but it's one of those things you cannot go back after you try it, overwatch added ultrawide on overwatch 2 and now I can play it again, feels weird playing with black bars on the sides
I would totally get a screen like that if I had the money to burn on it.
Seamless and curved is always better than multiple screens with frames.
My father in law bought one of these long curved monitors a few months ago
he's using it exclusively for Excel
>wired mouse
>wireless keyboard
The frick?
