I’m in the market for a new monitor. My 32" LCD is nice but now I have some spending money and really want to move up to an OLED display, as they seem to be maturing nicely and can give me an amazing bump in refresh rate.

Many OLED displays are curved, of course. All ultrawides are, some severely so (800r!!!)
I’ve always shied away from curved monitors because I feel like it could distort the appearance of some solid/2d geometry vs a flat panel. (I’m also not crazy about the desk space they occupy either, but I can work around that).

Do any of you use CAD packages (solidworks, inventor, autocad) on curved monitors, and if so how well does it appear? My target would be a 34" or 42" 4k display.

    As long as you have the monitor height centered on where your eyes are, the curve is not noticable. I have a curved 34" ultrawide at home and a straight one at work and it looks 99% the same on both as long as I am not slouching.

      That’s what I was hoping, i guess demo models in Staples don’t really do them any justice. Thanks!
