Monitor selection

[Mr. M]

I need to get a pair of monitors for my desk and saw some curved 27" Samsung's on sale. Has anyone tried these for programming? What do you think of them?

I use one. It’s about 4 years now. Works great for me.

IIRC, I paid ~$300-$350 4 years ago. I'll probably cry to hear what they sell for now. Half?

 

[Mr. M]

$180ish

 

[Vancbiker]

Not surprised.

Do the curved monitors cause any strange appearance when working in CAD? I've never been able to see one with CAD on it.

I have a flat 32" LG w/ 3840 X 2160 resolution and just love it. Been using dual 19s for years, this is WAY better. Have a 19" next to it, that makes it even better.
Edit - Costco has them for $249

I wondered the same thing....but I cant see anything "wrong"
My reasoning was wearing glasses that the focal point would be the same form side to side.

Talking to other CAD designers, some like them, others don't.
I have not been given any as of yet, most of my monitors come from the dumpster.....

 

[Vancbiker]

I don’t notice any issues with the curvature. I use it for CAD/CAM as well as “normal” computer use including movies and such.

 

[Mr. M]

I actually got a 32" curved monitor so time will tell how much I like it.
