> Also a curved display is pretty questionable for professional image editing (it distorts pixels).

Isn't the point of a curved display that at the designed viewing distance, each point (at the same vertical position, at least) is equidistant from the viewer, eliminating the distortion that occurs that occurs when viewing a large flat screen.

It would seem to me that for professional image editing where you often need to zoom in to a higher magnification than an image would usually be viewed at by the target audience, a curved display would be very useful.

You probably also want to verify work on a display and conditions (viewing distance, etc.) that match the target environment.



I'd have to try this myself but I use straight guidelines all the time and I can't imagine having them look skewed if I turned my head from the precise targeted distance.


What are your thoughts on curved monitors for development/text based work?
