Curved or Flat ???

Fubar2Niner · 04-22-15, 09:33 AM

Hi chaps

I'm looking to upgrade my monitor to a new Samsung 27" possibly a 30+ !

The question is do you think I should go traditional flat screen or a new curved monitor. I will be using TIR so will the curve present problems. Any advice, thoughts most welcome

Best regards.

Try one if you can first, it was bad enough trying to look round a 24" screen at work!

I do like curved, and doubt TIR would be affected.

Thanks for your input HB, exactly what d'you mean by 'look round'? Were you on a small screen? Already have a 24" here and I love it, but, it's 16:10 ratio. All the new screens are 16:9 which is good for the ws mods.

When working on documents I just seemed to be moving my head rather than my eyes. Gaming might have been different though.

Personally I'd love the 27" curved.

I did ask the boss at work (new work, not the place with the 24") for a triple-screen set-up with those. I think he said no chance.
