Nowadays, choosing a monitor is no longer a matter of "just buying one that is enough", but various details have gradually become the new normal. And one of the most entangled choices is - curved screen or flat screen?   Curved monitors sound very "advanced" and technological, and the slogans always say "immersive experience" and "fit the curvature of the human eye"; while flat screens, although seemingly traditional, are widely used in professional fields such as design, office, and editing. So which one should I choose? Is the curved surface the future trend? Is the flat surface "outdated"?   The answer is actually very simple: there is no absolute better, the key is how you use it and how you choose. We will fully dismantle this "curved or flat" dispute for you from multiple aspects such as experience, applicable scenarios, size matching, price, etc., and help you choose the screen that suits you best!   What is the difference between curved vs flat monitors?   Let's first take a look at the most intuitive difference between the two in daily use.   The biggest feature of curved monitors is that the "screen is curved". This kind of bend is not for decoration, but has a certain mathematical logic - usually 1800R, 1500R, or even 1000R is used to represent the curvature of the screen. The smaller the number, the greater the curvature, and the "curvier" the screen is.   This brings several direct changes in the visual experience:   Stronger immersion: Especially when playing games or watching blockbusters, the screen seems to "surround" you, and the viewing experience is more three-dimensional;   Clearer edge content: Compared with flat screens, the viewing angle of curved edges is more natural, reducing distortion and color difference;   Fit the human eye vision: In theory, it is closer to the natural focusing path of the human eye, especially under ultra-wide screens (such as 21:9).   But at the same time, there are also its inconveniences:   People who work in office, spreadsheets, and write code will feel uncomfortable because the edges of the documents are curved and the text is not "flat" enough;   Color calibration/image accuracy is not as stable as flat, and the brightness consistency between the visual center and corners is slightly worse;   Not suitable for wall hanging or splicing, and there are many installation restrictions.   Flat displays are more "standard", with neat pictures, clear structures, and strong adaptability, especially in office, multi-tasking windows, design and other usage scenarios. It is also easier to adapt to long-term use, and will not cause fatigue or confusion due to visual curvature.   Different uses have different suitable types!   If you are struggling to decide whether to buy a curved or flat screen, don't look at the parameters first, but look at how you mainly use the computer:   If you are a daily office party: documents, PPT, Excel, emails, etc., it is recommended to choose a flat screen. Because the curved screen is easy to give people a "curved illusion" when dealing with straight lines and table contents, it is not comfortable to stare at it for a long time.   If you are an immersive game player: especially playing racing and first-person shooting games, you can really boldly enter the pit of curved screens. The picture has a strong sense of envelopment, which is fun to watch and accurate.   If you love watching movies and TV series: especially ultra-widescreen format film and television resources, it is so cool to match the curved screen, and the visual experience is far better than the flat screen.   If you are a content creator or designer: images, colors, and proportions require precision, it is recommended to stick to a flat screen with high color accuracy.   If you want to splice multiple screens or dual screens on the left and right: then basically don't consider it, curved screens are not easy to assemble, just choose a flat screen to make it uniform.   In summary: choose a curved display for entertainment/immersion, and a flat screen monitor for work/professional.
