Why people buy LCD curved monitors ?
Posted: 14 Feb 2020, 09:41
These monitors are only curved in horizontal axi, vertical axi is flat, this cause a geometric distortion, with spike deformation at corners, even seeing it from the recommended position and distance
Also, due to concave effect, see it at different angles cause ugly geometric distortion. The max angle available is less degrees that flat LCD. With the maximun angle available, user only can see half monitor screen, the half close to him is hidded by the bezel. But ok, this can be assumed, because is not designed for view at different angles, is like VR screen, nobody buy to view at angles, non sense.
But curved monitor is not VR screen, and in day to day use, it is impossible to avoid seeing it from different angles.
I remenber how people demanding years ago that curved CRT convex effect sould be fixed to solve the geometric problem, and all happy with CRT flat tubes, Flatron, Trinitron, Diamondtron, and more happy later with LCD perfect flat, both home users and professionals CAD, Photography, ...
Today, curved screen marketing highlight only the good side of this tech, the "sourrounding" effect, but no word about atrocious geometry from the recommended position and distance. And they intend to convince us that this is the fashion, modern, the future
