What's the best curved monitor for gaming & working?

There are a number of benefits offered by a curved monitor. By imitating the shape of the human eye, the purpose of a curved monitor is to work with your body instead of against it. From reducing eye strain to creating a more immersive environment for game play, here’s what the best curved monitors achieve:

1. A more immersive experience
2. Enhanced comfort for your eyes
3. A larger field of view
4. Better visual quality
5. Sleeker aesthetics

The best curved monitors deliver a visual wow factor and are suited to a wide range of work tasks; from creative projects to software development. When it’s time to sit back and relax at the end of a long day they throw you into the heart of your entertainment and gaming action.

A further difference is the pre-set 21:9 screen ratio of many curved monitors. This is considerably different to the 16:9 display ratio in standard flat screen monitors. This ratio means that curved monitors are 2.3 times wider than they're high, compared to 1.8 times wider for a flat screen. While flat monitors provide amazingly life-like images, curved monitors have a significantly wider field of view, which is an excellent feature for gamers.

If you're a big multitasker, a curved monitor is what you want. Since curved monitors have ultrawide screen ratios they offer lots of space for many open apps, tabs and programmes at the same time. If you're looking to multitask and boost productivity opt for a curved display.
