I thought the curved monitor/tv thing was loosing steam, but I see a lot of curved screens getting released this year. Are they popular amongst the TPU community?

I had one for about five months when I got stuck in Sweden during the start of the pandemic.
It does feel like you're drunk when you start using one though, but you get used to it in a day or two.
I didn't realise it was as curved as it was, as it was apparently 1800R which is really quite curved, but not as much as either of these.
My daily display is a 27" 4K monitor and I can see how a bigger display could benefit from being curved, depending on the usage.
TVs on the other hand, are useless curved unless you sit dead straight ahead of it.

Now that you've had experience with both, when it's time for your monitor purchase, what will you go with - Flat or curved?

I guess we'll see, depends on what's on offer and what I can afford. I know that's not the answer you're looking for, I honestly don't know.
I would consider curved again though, but not 1000R, that's too much.

I've been rocking the three 27" 1440p screens setup ups for a long time. I'm gathering ideas since next gen cards will make gaming at 4K maxed settings a cakewalk. That Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 mini-led has my attention. I just want it in a 4K version.
