Curved vs. Flat monitors?

[DC CNC]

Thinking of going to a 32" curved monitor. Pros   Cons

Pros big screen space.

Cons Big screen space with no real division of what is what. I have 3 27" Asus flat monitors and have mt method and process down using them. Going to curved would be hard. The other thing is screen sharing using Teams or something else it sucks for the other people to see the curved screen.

I have a 34" diagonal extra wide curved for my main monitor, plus a 27" standard ratio (same height) next to it for reference documents, etc..  Seems to work fine for me.

I'm running a DellS3221QS as my center screen, an antique Dell U2410 on the left and a Dell 2715H on the right.

I had to dial the resolution of the 32" down to match the 27" to get Mastercam's Toolpath Manager to behave on the right screen.

It's native resolution is 3840 x 2160 but I'm running 2560 x 1440. That was a disappointment, but not a deal breaker.

I am running the Nvidia Desktop Manager with hot keys set up to snap windows from screen to screen.

Each screen is also divided into 2 grids. 

My wife is buying a Dell 49" to replace her old pair of 24" monitors at work.

I'm looking forward to playing with that.

They have a deal at Sam's club right now. Both LG and Samsung have 32" Curved monitors for $180. My company just bought a bunch of them and we got mine hooked up yesterday. It's a night and ay difference. But, we were also coming from using 22" ViewSonic's. 

I left the 22" on the side of the curved monitor, as a dual monitor setup. Had to throw a few books underneath it to get it up to the height of the new monitor. But i love the setup. 

This is my first curved monitor that I've used, and I don't think I'll ever go back to using a flat. As mentioned above, it would be difficult to "Share" a screen for meetings, Teams, or something along those lines. But that's not what I use this monitor for. So they work great for us!

Yeah, I have a 32" curved as my main monitor as well.  I use my laptop as my second screen, which I have on a cooling pad to bring the level up.  I often don't have Mastercam spread full sized across it, as with my seating position, I can only comfortably fit about 60% of it in my view (without turning my head), so I used the side of the monitor for HSM Advisor, excel, etc.
