Calling all curved monitor users...I need your opinions.

My concern is how many hours of daily use would affect these old eyes of mine and their tri-focals. Even with the monitor I have, Ii have to constantly kick my head back to feel comfortable reading parts of the screen to the point my neck gets stiff. I do not know if a curved would be advantageous or detrimental in that respect.

Hi glasskuter,

I work in IT and have for about 27 years now. As I have gotten older, I too have moved into bifocals per the request of my eye doctor. About a year ago, I started to struggle significantly with my computer distance vision. Like you, I was tipping my head back to keep my monitor in the center part of my glasses and it was annoying. What I ended up doing was getting computer glasses. I mistakenly thought that computer glasses were just typical glasses with special blue light filtering. However, what I discovered was that they are dedicated to that middle distance focal length. These have made a tremendous improvement for me on my day to day computer work. What really stinks though, is I do have to have 2 pairs of glasses. And I always get up from the computer, walk out the door and realize that I have the wrong glasses, and have to go back in and get the right ones.

So from your experience, what would be your pros and cons regarding flat vs curved and would you recommend a curved screen in my case. I use integrated graphics with x. I'd probably go with a 32 in.

At work, I have a Dell Ultrasharp UDW, which is a 38 inch curved monitor running x. the curve on this one is just slight, R. I really have grown to like the extra size of this display. I run it a scale of 125%, which helps my eyes see it better. I'd like to get a large format monitor like this at home, but 1). It's expensive and 2). I simply don't have the space at my desk/office area with the multiple systems that I have to support a monitor of this size.

With all that said, from a vision perspective...i don't find that this curved monitor has any real impact on vision for me. All of my monitors at home are flat and I have no problems with them. My computer glasses by far had a far more significant impact.

Not really. These do get updated every 4 years or so. They were remodeling offices after covid, I guess they went with this hipster thing.
But then old habits die hard. I was always 2-monitor guy. With 27'' (left-right) splitting screen is an option (I'm heavy iTerm2 user). But I still like to move "stuff" to the other display. Or if I'm testing something on the other computer(s) I connect to it using synergy and mimick the 2nd screen option.

I had sore eyes when I did split screen on that curved monitor. My eyes were focusing too much on the edges, they were too close. I don't know if that explanation makes sense, it's very subjective feeling.

With this... The monitor will end up being a basket of fruit behind a screen.

Recently I updated my old imac () to one. It would be one long beer session me complaining about many apple things but one thing is true: that monitor (5k retina) is beautiful. I keep starring at my iTerm2 session looking at the fonts and keep smiling.

The best thing for you would be to test that curved monitor. Ideally in a shop. The worst case scenario - order one, and return it if you are not happy with it.
