With curved monitors, each point of the concave screen is the same distance from your eyes. This provides a more natural view that fits the curvature of the human eye, and provides a wider field of view. This effect is particularly apparent in larger models.

What should I consider when choosing a curved monitor?
Use
- Gaming - the lower the response time and higher the refresh rate monitor a has, the faster it can react to changes in the image, providing smooth and crisp images even in action scenes. Therefore, choose a model with a response time of 4ms or less and a refresh rate of at least 60Hz.
- Office or home - can be used on all models. If you know that you are at your monitor regularly, spend more time choosing a model with adjustable height and technologies that minimize eye fatigue (Flicker-free, Flicker-safe and more).
Resolution
The larger the monitor you choose, the higher the resolution should be. With a higher resolution, you get a more detailed picture and a larger workspace.
Screen Size (1" = 2.54cm) | to 32" (approx. 81cm) | 33" and larger (approx. 84cm or more) |
Resolution to ensure adequate image quality | Full HD (1920×1080 pixels) or higher | Full HD, but ideally higher |
Panel Type
- IPS/S-IPS monitors - excel in natural colours, low power consumption and wide viewing angles. The disadvantage is a higher purchase price.
- TN monitors - often characterised by low response times. Compared with IPS monitors they are cheaper, offer lower-quality colour reproduction and narrower viewing angles. While cheaper TN monitors are the sufficient for less demanding users, models with 4ms response times are popular with gamers.
- MVA/PVA monitors - in terms of price and picture quality, these are somewhere between IPS/S-IPS and TN monitors. They provide more realistic colour reproduction and wider viewing angles than TN monitors and are cheaper than IPS monitors.
Screen Surface
- Matte - reflects some ambient light; provides less-saturated colour reproduction.
- Glossy - provides vibrant and realistic colours but reflects more ambient light, so the display can be hard to see in bright sunlight.
- Anti-glare - a compromise between glossy and matte screens; they are easier to view in direct sunlight than glossy screens but offer lower quality colour reproduction.
Connectors
Before buying, make sure the monitor has at the least one compatible port with your computer. If not, You will not be able to connect the monitor to it.
