An Inner Mouth and questions about Curved Monitors

[capa14]

Well… the question is not really about the mouth, just posted the mouth to have something to show , since I didn’t know where to post about the following questions

I’m searching for monitors to change the 32’ TV that I use as monitor because of 2 basic motives… input lag which is higher than 50ms and the damned reflections (dark scenes looks like a mirror)…
Then searching for monitors I found some really interesting monitors BUT most of them are curved and the ones that are not are very small to my taste 24’ …

Reading about pros and cons I came across some people saying that Curved monitors are bad for “creative work” (3d modeling, digital drawing, painting…), because the straight lines would get distorted by the curve. But the reports varies a lot, from “Didn’t notice any difference” to “It’s impossible to work with a curved monitor”

So… since here we have many people in this “creative work” group, would like to ask.
Do you have a curved monitor? Which radius?
Is it really noticiable the curve it does to the lines? If yes, have you gotten used to it?

Interesting discussion!
The only thing i’ve read, was the reflection from lights is worse on Curved screens. On flat screen you can move your position to dis align with the reflection. On curved displays this more difficult to do this.

Yeah i’m aware of that too.
But I think it would’t be as annoying as the “mirror” (my tv screen is gloss type) I have right now, because of the anti-glare screen that the monitors have even If I have direct light to it.

Something like my life now… Roughness 0.01

Only Roughness 0.3

Expectations of my life with a Simple Deform set to Bend -45… While setting the Roughness to 0.3

Know what? Going to model my bedroom to test this with all possible light sources, being more accurate to the measures, this was “eyeballed”…

But the real question is about the if the human eye + brains, ignores the curve and makes the lines look straight… (also the camera setting may not be simulating the human eye correctly)

Good plan!
I this for choosing a new color in my living room.

Purple, really?

My Curved monitor doesn’t stop me drawing and seeing straight lines. - Some curved monitors have a bigger curve than others of course.

Hi Michael! Thanks for your input!

Just for reference which ratio and radius does yours have?

I use a Samsung S34E790C.

It’s 34” and 3000R

[capa14]

Just as information.

Bought a Asus XG32VQ 32" not feeling much difference and it’s a 1800R.

Maybe using a 1800, someone that works with digital drawing and is free drawing may affect something depending on the angle you are looking at the monitor.

But since i don’t free draw much can’t really tell, sry.

I have been using a Samsung LC43J890 since the beginning of September last year, and wouldn’t want to switch back to my traditional screen. Like @capa14, this too is an 1800R screen. And with that, the curvature is minimal. But with the to me added benefit of it being a wide monitor.

And in the end I think that’s the sweet spot with curved monitors, (super-)ultra-wide. It gives you a lot of real estate, with minimal curvature in your central vision. In my peripheral vision, that is on the edges of the screen, I tend to place menu panels, inspirational references, etc.

There are a lot of monitors on the market now; you can find a monitor with the parameters that you need. I work as a wedding photographer, and even though I use an amazing camera, all photos need further processing. I was looking for a color monitor with high levels of color correction, and thanks to the information I read here https://pcalgo.com/best-monitor-for-color-grading/, I purchased an amazing monitor. It’s much more convenient to process photos, and most importantly, the quality is much better.
