Curved Monitors

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.

Curved Monitors – Pros and Cons

Curved monitors offer several advantages over regular monitors.

You can see every pixel clearly without turning your head.
Less effort and slower eye fatigue.
Partial protection against glare.
Immersion into the game thanks to the illusion of peripheral vision.
Stylish modern design.

They can take up more space.
Other viewers can't really see well.
They are not suitable for multi-monitor setups.

Flat monitor — The difference between displaying content on a curved monitor and a flat monitor. With a curved monitor, your eyes see every point on the screen.

How to Use a Curved Monitor?

Curved monitors can be used for everyday activities at home or in the office, and even for gaming.

Universal Curved PC Monitor

Any curved PC monitor can be used in the office and at home. If you know you'll be spending more time in front of the monitor on a regular basis, choose a model with adjustable height and technology to minimise eye fatigue.

Curved Gaming Monitor

Choose a curved gaming monitor the same way you would choose a flat gaming monitor - based on its response times and refresh rate. The lower the response time and the higher the refresh rate, the smoother the visuals displayed on the curved gaming monitor. For great visuals even in the most intense gaming moments, try a 144Hz curved monitor.

For gaming purposes, we recommend a curved gaming monitor with FreeSync or G-Sync, which synchronise the image and ensure perfect smoothness even when the monitor or computer can't keep up with the visuals.

Choosing a Curved Monitor - What to Consider?

When choosing a curved monitor, focus on the following parameters:

Curved PC Monitor Resolution

The larger the curved PC monitor you choose, the higher the resolution should be. With a higher resolution, you get a more detailed picture and a larger workspace.

Choose the curved monitor resolution and screen size according to the use. We recommend a 27″ monitor as a minimum for gamers of all genres. For work and other purposes, a 24" curved monitor will suffice.

Curved Monitors - Panel Type

Curved 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 sufficient for less demanding users, models with 4ms response times are popular with gamers.
Curved IPS/S-IPS monitors - excel in natural colours, low power consumption and wide viewing angles. The disadvantage is a higher purchase price.
Curved 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.

When choosing a new curved PC monitor, pay attention to the aspect ratio. A wide-angle, curved monitor offers much more working space than a flat monitor, and the curvature reduces eye strain and fatigue.

Curved Monitors - Screen Surface

Matte curved monitor - reflects some ambient light; provides less-saturated colour reproduction.
Glossy curved monitor - provides vibrant and realistic colours but reflects more ambient light, so the display can be hard to see in bright sunlight.
Anti-glare curved monitor- a compromise between glossy and matte screens; they are easier to view in direct sunlight than glossy screens but offer lower quality colour reproduction.
