Kane99 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I have been interested in getting my hands on a curved monitor since they were introduced, but the cost has always pushed me away or I just never felt the need to buy one. Prices I think have lowered a lot on them, as I think you can get a cheap brand curved monitor, but the problem with that is you get what you paid. They are a bit more affordable today, but do they add anything that a standard monitor doesn't? I suppose you get better viewing angles with a curved monitor, but does it give you any advantage in gaming? What are the pros and cons for a regular monitor versus a curved monitor?

Debashis Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Yes, curved monitors can enhance gaming by providing a more immersive experience. The curved screen helps to fill your peripheral vision, creating a more realistic and engaging gameplay. It can also reduce eye strain and improve viewing angles for a more comfortable gaming experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I had often wondered this myself whenever I have seen curved monitors on sale in stores I frequent. They seemed so popular and even now they are just as popular. I had toyed with the idea of getting a curved monitor myself but had never jumped on one yet, knowing what I know now, I may do when the funds are there.

Kennysplash Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 There is a clear difference between the two, you will know when you use both. Curved monitors reduces eye strain and provides a more natural field of view for the human eye. So if your pocket allows it you can go for it. You will surely get your money’s worth.

killamch89 Posted March 27, 2024 Share Posted March 27, 2024 I'm not so sure - Yes, it does look more appealing but most of the claims they've made regarding the benefits have mostly been exaggerated. The biggest benefit of curved monitors reported by most testers is the immersion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lens Posted September 14, 2024 Share Posted September 14, 2024 I've used a curved monitor for gaming, and while it’s very pleasing. But a standard monitors with high refresh rates and fast response times still offer superior performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
