And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
GhostSniper, I have a pair of Gigabyte G32QC-A 1440p 165Hz 32" curved monitors and I love them. Their resolution and refresh rate are a lot higher than the ones above, so much finer detail. I've used them for video and picture editing in Adobe CS5 and have no complaints - I'm by no means a pro, either. After a while, you don't even notice the curve. I feel I suffer less eye strain as well. Solidworks recommends a 1440p monitor for 27 - 32" monitors and 4K for anything over. I'm not sure AutoCAD's requirements, as I haven't used it since version 10.2 in 1991. Both monitors are mounted on Huanuo gas spring monitor arms that I rotate to the center depending on which PC I am running.
As monitors have grown in size, at the proper distance, the center and edge are the same distance from the eye. I used to get eye strain from my eyes focusing close on the center and farther at the edges of flat screens. It seems to help with the curved ones.
I just replaced a 20" monitor in my ham station with a 27" monitor. I love the extra space and being able to have more stuff on the screen I can keep an eye on, but I have noticed this focal distance thing you're talking about. It seems that 27" is either at or just beyond the max diagonal size for a flat screen.
I lucked out, and have two 22" flat monitors. They can be angled differently, so the left and right are "centered" for me. Lets me 'read' from one and 'write' on the other.
I just purchased 2 DELL curved 31.5 inch monitors, and I love them. But I spent a slight bit more and got the ones with a refresh rate faster than 75Hz.
I have two at work and one at home. A number of other advisors and staff them...we all love them.
ReplyDeleteI do extensive AutoCAD, is there any distortion in the curve?
DeleteCurrently using (2) 29" Sceptres side by side on a spider.

I see no point in them, unless maybe you're a gamer.
