Curved TVs and Monitors: Still the slightly rounded screens in the private use are rather rare. An exception, however, are gamers, with the monitors currently enjoying great popularity. They often measure many hours in online and PC games and therefore attach great importance to high-performance technology. Users benefit from the advantages of the Curved technology.
More intense viewing experience
But what distinguishes Curved monitors from flat screens? The main difference is the slightly inward curved screen. This shaping is adapted to the curvature of the human eye and positively changes the perception of the viewer: by reducing the average distance from the eye to the edges of the screen, a wider and deeper spatial effect results. The user feels that he is not an outsider, but a part of the happening. He is practically drawn into the scene and experiences the content more intensively than on a conventional flat screen.
A good thing for the eyes
Currently the range of PC monitors is still manageable. The models differ, however, in the degree of their bending. If a Curved Monitor has a radius of curvature of 3000 mm, this means that the screen forms the section of an imaginary circle with a radius of three meters. This curvature surrounds the user more than a less curved screen, about 4000 mm.

Conclusion and Outlook
Compared to Curved TVs, most Curved monitors have a matte display. Incident light is thus less reflected and reflections are avoided. This proves to be another advantage and allows for comfortable working.
In addition to the viewing experience, the curved shape has further advantages that are particularly noticeable to users who spend many hours every day in front of the screen: a curved display can relieve the eyes. The reason for this is the nature of the human eye. For it has a slightly convex, thus outwardly curved form. As a result, many people perceive perception on a curved screen as more relaxed. Due to the curvature, all image areas are approximately equidistant from the observer in the middle sitting position. This minimizes distortion on the screen and increases the viewing range. As a result, the eyes need to adapt less to the changing viewing distances and are protected.
Even if you are not sitting face-to-face in front of the screen or changing the sitting position, the high viewing angle stability of up to 178 degrees, also given with the Curved monitors, allows for a sharp display. This high viewing angle stability allows PC users to work, play, and enjoy movies for more than a couple of hours - a feature that is becoming more and more important, the more time users spend in front of a variety of screens, be it on the smartphone TV, working on a notebook or working at home. The fact that most Curved monitors can not be turned by 90 degrees by pivot, is intent, because the curvature is deliberately designed for a horizontal orientation.
Presently, Curved Monitors are usually still priced over conventional, flat screens. On the one hand, the difference is due to a more complex and thus more costly production process. On the other hand, many vendors have so far rather offered domed monitors in the premium segment. The price difference then mostly comes from other extras and a higher range of functions. Price development is also a question of market dynamics. If the current demand increases continuously, the price structure approaches flat monitors.
"In addition to high-resolution displays, Curved monitors are undisputedly one of the biggest trends in the monitor sector. The curved shape offers consumers an intense and at the same time eye-opening viewing experience, "says Simon Winkler, Junior Product Manager B2C Displays at Samsung Electronics.

Because of the advantages mentioned, it is highly probable that the Curved technology will establish itself as a new standard - not only in the premium segment, where the price is not the most important criterion for purchasing, but in the course of the customer-friendly price development in the entire monitor market
