Anyone here ever used curved monitors? I'm seeing them come down in price and wonder if it's cool enough to get

Unless they are huge and ultra-wide, I don't see the point. They don't add anything at small sizes except a certain aesthetic. At large sizes, it's a quality of life improvement as things on the edges are closer than with flat screens. They were more expensive when I looked for them, so test it for the 14-30 day return period and see if you actually like it.

This makes a lot of sense, thanks :)

I like my ultrawides curved, but wouldn't want a 16:9 curved.

Curved monitors at 32" or less are pointless imo. But I have a 55" curved and it's glorious. The immersion is on par with VR.

That sounds like a nice setup, and no head goggles

I have one, only because it was an open-box special. I don't really notice a difference compared to a flat screen when I'm immersed in a game or whatever.

I got one used, and not specifically because it was curved, I just wanted a monitor and it was available for a good price. The curve is mild and the monitor is only 24" so I don't notice it very much. The monitor feels a bit flatter to my eyes than my laptop screen due to field of vision.

they can provide headaches if you stare at them too long (and are playing 2d games) (too long may be >20 hours)
