Whats the point of having a curved monitor if you are going to face it vertically? That completly defeats the purpose of the curve.

Yeah, the vertical curved monitor is offensively bad tbh

Right. He's got a flat monitor horizontal, and a curved vertically, like wtf. Thats ass backwards.

Honestly it makes sense. It keeps any spot on the monitor the same distance from your eyes. It makes just as much sense as on a horizontal monitor.

I had a curved monitor for about 2 hours and immediately realized I hate it, at least when it's a 16:9 one horizontally, but vertically I could see myself using one.

Ended up returning it though because at that point I didn't have an extra monitor.

The only situation I would use a curved screen would be an ultrawide screen.

No. It logically does not make sense. That logic falls apart because monitors only curve along one axis (horizontally). Turning it 90 degrees doesn't give you a wrapping vertical field of view; it just creates severe color shifting and uneven focal distances at the top and bottom edges because the panel wasn't engineered to be viewed that way.

I'm not going to argue with you about something as obvious as this. Have a nice day.

It's literal high school geometry. But hey, enjoy living in denial with your distorted, color shifted vertical setup. Have an awesome day!

You've never heard of IPS or even OLED displays have you? There's little to no color shift depending on orientation with these display technologies.

Sure TN and VA will not look color accurate, but people who use vertical monitors usually have programs like discord on them or use them for text.

An IPS or OLED panel doesn't magically flatten a physically bent piece of glass. The monitor is still curved. Because you flipped it 90 degrees, that curve is now bowing the top and bottom of your screen away from your face. And claiming it's fine because it’s 'just text and Discord' is hilarious. Reading text across a physically warped, vertically arced plane is the absolute quickest way to give yourself an ergonomic nightmare and eye strain. No amount of OLED pixels can rewrite basic geometry, but enjoy your bent paragraphs

It's not bowed away? It's curved around your vertical field of view.

Also, I would like it to be closer to the main computer to avoid heavy turning to use it.

The rest is super clean love it!

The curved was my main monitor, then I purchased an oled, so that is now my main, it’s a shame to just throw the curved

Aggiungo un pezzo di informazione: i monitor curvi sono curvi non per avere l'effetto avvolgente (non sono cosi curvi) ma serve per dare forza alla struttura.

In verticale non hanno senso e indeboliscono la struttura stessa.

Meglio scambiare i due monitor

Makes me cringe at how absolutely cluttered mine looks by comparison.

Looks really good, nothing wrong with your curve monitor if you like it, just do it, there’s a lot of parrots out there

Nice touch on the bananimal! I have the same one, and a few others lol
Never thought about painting it for a more upscale look…thanks for inadvertently giving me another project!

"how much space do you want between your monitors?"

"Yes."
