I love the fact that you went into the study about eye strain and figured out that the data is cherry picked. Its probably the most important point to confirm before you quote any study.

Finally, a guy who is straight to the point, who knows how to do research, and isn’t a flashy youtuber with their stupidly “WOW” thumbnails... May 2021 Update: I've had my curved Monitor for a while, and I enjoy it much more than my office computer that is still nice, new but isn't curved. If you've been on the fence on curved monitors, they're worth the experience.

This video is probably Saving a lot of money out there.

"Just eyeball the angle" Pretty much summed up my entire experience with graphic design right there

Rich: Buy Curved Monitor Not so Rich: Flat Monitor Linus: 16 Flat Monitor, 16K RESOLUTION!

This video made me check my curved screen with a ruler to see if I got all the curve I paid for.

I know you've had lots of praise from others, so this may get lost in the shuffle, but I wanted to say how great these videos are and how much I appreciate them. Thank you for being authentic, simple, deep and for doing it with your own money. Your videos really help me. Blessings on all you do!

Got the BenQ Ex3203R and i think the curved screen is just perfect. it isnt noticeable and during gaming it's more immersive. Still great video tho!!

I have an acer curved screen and when i look a a flat display it dosnt look right to me. Almost like the flat screen is curving the opposite way.

I genuinely respect your work, from personal impressions to going through relevant papers. This is great as it gets for me :)

"Advertisers are really good at promoting their products. Almost like they do it for a living". Great line and awesome video. Thank you!!

need to get your rating up, was researching monitors for my new pc. You are the only one I found, who actually tries to show the experience scientifically. And not just like a advertisement. Really enjoyed viewing your video.

Finally a great comparative review. Thanks a lot! There's nothing better than this one.

This is next level analysis and I learned alot from it, really appreciated you made this video!

Excellent analysis. I'm binge-watching your reviews.. so I need to subscribe. Done!

This felt like the Mythbusters but for curved monitors, good job! I wonder when we'll get a hybrid monitor that could switch between flat and curved by using something like flexible screens tech.

awesome review! pacing is improving and research is spot on. I loved the glaring example with the moving light!

That is pretty much my observation after buying a curved monitor. The distortion is more distracting than the immersion it can provide. I wouldn't buy another curved monitor unless, maybe, it is a ultra wide.

This is the best information for this topic I've found going down the rabbit hole of curved vs flat, this is everything you need to know and not just an opinion of someone saying curved is immersive a bunch. I wish I had found this days ago.

So good! Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Super helpful!

Such an amazing content and comparisons, you helped me so much. Hope your channel grows a lot!

I'm a UI designer who once had a curved monitor. The fact that I couldn't have a straight line appear straight on my monitor was a deal breaker for me. I just purchased a flat 34 inch ultrawide monitor.

The final single minute footage nailed every thing practically ! Thanks a lot bro

The best explanation on Cuved V. Flat monitors. You were analytical without being overly cynical and explained it all in simple terms. Keep it up as we could use more people like you in the community.

Wow, really detailed explanation, this was really what im looking for, great job

This is excellent, many simple things that the sellers don't state. Thank you!

Love how you go through research papers of good publications and compare the results.

Great video. I love how indepth you go, while still keeping it easy to understand and to the point. Subscribed.

glare test is a rare case of bringing something to my attention that i didnt think about myself)

Amazing detailed research! You're awesome!

Way more thorough than I expected. Great work!

I always had my doubts. Thanks for this!

subbed for the review and making it easier for me to understand

Wow this was a great vid! I truly appreciate it!

Hands down the most underrated review on youtube

This video makes so many points that I hadn’t thought of AT ALL. Thanks.

Was able to use one at a friend house, and the limited viewing position was my biggest gripe. And it isn't just horizontal position due to the focal point, but vertical position too. With the curve, viewing from too high or low magnifies the distortion on the farthest end. Positioning my eyes anywhere but directly center felt uncomfortable, which was an issue for my friends setup which limited the monitors vertical adjustment.

This is The review... Gets straight to the point...!

Bro now that's a detail and fact rich review with math thrown in and academic papers. You've saved me from getting a 1000r monitor! Definitely subbing.

I was on the fence. Best video and the last one I have to see before purchasing. Thanks.

Bro, you just saved me a lot of head-ache (literally) and also some money. Thank you!

I think the 1000r has worked well for the 32". I do not have enough space for two monitors on my desk. Therefore the 32" g7 has allowed me to get close to a two monitor experience up close (for productivity). Then an immersive gaming experience with the 1000r curve which I do not think is extreme for 32".

I Really appreciate your depth of analysis and presenting in an easy manner 👍😁

Very cool and interesting video, I hope you'll get more views you really deserve them... I'll continue to watch all your videos :)

Didnt do a scientific research before i bought a curved 27" MSI screen but have now used it for three years and still like it. 👍

Fascinating, I had never considered the things you're describing in your video, thanks!

I think such high quality content is very rare on UKposts. Thanks!!

Amazing review thank you very much! Getting myself a flat one. Also my second monitor is also flat so it's better for me

Great analysis. Goes into everything I was looking for.

best video on this topic. man, you just done it better than any one else. straight to the point, necessary things, and final conclusion..best bro best.

Thank you! That's very useful. Especially the counterintuitive part about the FPSs.

I own a fairly cheap curved monitor, the msi optix mag241c. It's 24 inch with a 1500R curve. I absolutely love it! Works great in competitive fps games too.

I have an astigmatism and every since I got a curved Samsung 27in monitor it has made a difference in how my eyes feel after a long session. Also just upgraded my 2nd screen(2006 flat screen) to a new MSI 27in curved. They look great together 2 curved 27in monitors 🤩

I could just type down everything he said and turn in a thesis. This is an excellent review

Thanks for making this. I really wanted to know more about curved screens.

I myself got a curved monitor from my father a 24 inch and one thing I notice is that I get fatigue a lot faster if I play fast movemnt games but after all I enjoy it it's pretty good you seem like you have a better vision in every corner of the screen

I rarely give thumbs up. I love the amount of research you've done (rare these days). Cheers

This was a fantastically thorough comparison.

Great video. I have a 32" 1800r 1440p monitor which I need to replace. And that curvature is an excellent jack of all trades, without forcing you into an exact viewing distance or being perfectly centered. It also minimal impact to your FOV in games, while improving your viewing angle a bit. I would love to get a 32" Neo G7 (2022 model), but frankly, even though I generally like curved screens, 1000R is just too curved. If i lean back in a chair, the view gets very distorted. And the G7 also has that non-uniform curvature you mention (the old 1440p 1800R has a uniform curvature). Really the neo g7's curve ranges from about 500R to 4000R (from the center to the edges). It's extremely distracting, and headache inducing. And it validates all of the criticisms people have of curved screens for productivity (those criticisms lose validity with a more gentle uniform curve). I don't think I would enjoy a curvature greater than 1500, and no matter what, it absolutely has to be a _uniform_ curvature. So the best non-OLED display out there, which I would gladly pay full price for, is effectively ruined by marketing & engineering team drinking too much of their own koolaid regarding curved displays. Maybe someday someone will make a 1500-2000 R version of that panel, with a uniform curve. Until then... no deal. May end up with an Asus PG42UQ 42" OLED flat screen, even though I really would prefer a quantum dot curved 32" VA. Just not THAT curved, and not with a drastically non-uniform curve.

Got a slight curved ultrawide 21:9 screen. It's perfectly fine for production. Where it shines is open world games and multiple windows at the same time. I'd advice not going for a very curved screens as my screen, which has just a slight curve is well enough and more would actually worsen the experience in my opinion.

They best takeaway I can get in this video is to test the monitors first before you buy them. It feels pretty unlikely right now but if you have friends that have the monitor you want to buy, try out theirs first to get a feel for it.

Wow this is an amazing video, thank you for putting it together. Learned so much and so easily.

What an informative, well-researched and pertinent video. Thank you

Thank You... I am about to buy a monitor next month and I am still money to buy a good monitor.. This video helped me understand that instead of 1000R buy a 1500R Display monitor.

Thank you so much, the gaming section of your video really made me reconsider buying a Samsung G5 since I play mostly FPS. I stick with a flat screen for now. 👍

I love the content. I wish there were more sources like this! Subscribed!

Great and honest review and research, subed, keep-it-up!

I heard so many complaints like this before getting a curved display (but mine was ultrawide) and none of this ended up bothering me. Who sits on the side of the monitor for work?? Even gaming is fine, you don't really notice the stretching of the edges, cause you look at the middle part mostly.

You really got to the point with well researched straightened up answers. Well done, you got a subscriber :) I'm sure you can get a lot more followers in time if you keep doing what you did in this video. Success is exponential.

Best video on this ive seen. Thanks you so much for making it Reviews For Life.

Thank you ! I really needed this review.

Interesting topic. I stopped messing with my fov when I got a curved monitor because I felt I didn’t need to. Good to know though. I really just think it’s about preference. I sit very close to my monitor because my setup is dookie cheese so that’s probably why I prefer the curve.

To get the same experience as 'us' he bought 3 monitors out of his own money.. that got me laughing but mainly crying tbh 🤣😭 good vid tho 🖖

This is such a good video, with great information. Thanks!

Speachless! THANK YOU

My take away: if I want curved, go ultra-wide curved Thank you for the great review! No bias for one brand over another, you simply stayed on topic for the design not the maker / seller.

I have a fault in my left eye which makes me partially blind on the left eye which messes with my depth perception(I can only see with about 60 percent of my eye) and when playing with a flatscreen for more than 1 and a half hour I would get this weird feeling of being further away from things than I really am which stopped happening after I switched to a curved one.

This is actually amazing! Thank you.

really good reportings, hope your channel grows fast!

Try the LG 38gl950 3840x1600 ultrawide with a curve of 2300. Coming from a flat panel this is realy good, but expensive

I actually have a curved and a flat monitor as a dual setup. The curved one (1500r MSI Optix) is for gaming and media, whereas the flat one (HP Elite Display) is for creativity (drawing / reading & typing / powerpoint) and photo editing. Although switching between the two takes a minute or two to adjust to (and probably longer for those not used to it), it is the perfect combination for me.

What a great in depth video! I’ve been considering getting a curved monitor and this helps inform my decision. Thanks!

thanks for sharing with us the information you have accumulated, much appreciated.

I’ve been using a 1800R monitor for about 3 years now, a very weird effect I’ve noticed is when looking at a normal flat monitor, it looks bowed or fish eyed. And apparently this is a common effect people experience all over the world.

I really enjoy my 27", 1500 curved, 165hz, 1 ms VA screen. I tried a flat 27" IPS but changed back to curved.

I gave you a thumbs up for the clear effort and research you did for the video…and math. But I have to say, the information was coming at me so fast I couldn’t the really process it enough to be helpful.

You're a true internet bro for this one, thanks.

At 1:08 you use a 15cm instead of 30cm flat edge and therefore have less gap.

The 27" G7 was my first curved, and I mostly play Quake and CoD, and I sit pretty close, and there has been no issues with this. Doesn't feel weird and no motion sickness.

Thank you, I'm using Xiaomi 34" 1500R display for about 3 years, and recently thinking about upgraid my monitor image queality. 32" 1000R Samsung Neo G7 was my first option, but I was worried about that extrime curve, because using monitor not only for gaming. Well, now you helped me settle that question, will keep my research~ And nice drawing btw

great video. I'm unsure if I should buy a curved or a regular monitor and this helped me a lot

I found this video through a post on the subreddit r/monitors and really enjoyed it! I wanted to clarify your claim of „curved“ monitors having worse viewing angles. It doesn’t have anything to do with the curve, but rather the panel of the Monitor. The flat screen has an ips panel and the curved a VA panel. Ips panels have the best viewing angles of every lcd display and therefore Va will always lose in a direct comparison. While you can’t say that the viewing angles suffer from a curve, most curved monitors use a va panel wich would make the statement somewhat alright again haha :D

Great video but there is one point and demonstration that I found a little confusing. When you were talking about the curve of the monitor not being uniform you showed this with a ruler, but when you showed the "flat" ends of the monitor you only put half the ruler on the display. I'm not sure if the point still stands, but I think a better way of showing this is taking a picture from above and putting the edge of a circle over it to see how far the curve strays from an actual circular shape.

Amazing review. Thanks!

That was informative and succinct. Thank you!

I never bought in to the curved hype, but after seeing a 34" HDR Ultra-wide on sale I started to get interested. This kinda makes me realize I should just stick with my gut and stay flat.

I have a curved ultrawide 34". Its a good monito but I dont think curve is any usefull. At the beginning I noticed it very clear but as you get used to it, it just seems flat. If you ask me if curved is better I cant really see any advantage.

Very well explained! You have earned a sub. Keep it up 👍

A great analysis , appreciated .

I alternate between flat screen and curved ultrawide on a daily basis. Flat for work, curved for gaming. The curved screen is definitely more immersive for games but don't get one with a too aggressive curve, I feel 1500R is the sweet spot
