Your Brain on a Curved vs Flat Ultrawide Monitor

I just switched back to a flat monitor after using a curved for a few months, and I'm experiencing exactly what you described. So strange! Glad I'm not alone haha

[@Ojisan642]

I had a curved monitor for years, for both my office and home computer. I recently decided to get a flat monitor for my home computer. Big mistake! It looked like it was curved backwards. My brain was so adapted to the curve that it created this optical illusion that the flat was actually a reverse curve. I figured I would get used to it after a bit, but the problem is after a weekend of use I did get used to it, and flat looked flat. No problem, right? Well, then I went back to my office computer with the curved monitor which reset my brain to thinking in terms of curved. So when I went back to my home computer it looked curved backwards again! Lesson being, if you use curved, or flat, stick with it - you will get used to either one. But don’t go back and forth between the two.

[@oliverwilliam6931]

Just put the curved monitor in the trash

[@Tpecep]

You are so right brooo. It feels like backward curved for me too. How fast did you adapt to it? What about gaming difference with curved?

[@andredutra9152]

I was thinking to have one at my HO, but going to the office 2 days a week would be a flat old base. This is a very important point.

[@Number22Code]

Yes going back to a flat monitor from curved it really bends your world Imagine me with a radius of 1000R on a 34" monitor I don't think is an optical illusion just some bug in the matrix they couldn't update it yet lol

[@WildFuchs82]

I just switched from a curved monitor to a straight monitor and I can confirm that it feels like the screen is bending outward. I hope it gets better soon. Interesting how our brain works.

[@GovnaBuckingham]

When I first switched to a curved one it made me dizzy, I thought I was going to have to return it but my mind eventually got used to it. Now I switched back to a flat monitor and its insane how backwards curved the flat screen looks. I had to get a tape measure to make sure it was actually flat.

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

I got 2 24" curved monitors side by side for productivity work. Love it. Text is so much easier to read on the edges. Want to mention that is the best YT channel name. I am guessing your a wedding photographer and now required videographer. Wow, impressive hard work.

Thank god for this! 4 years on a curved then went to 43" Flat and it looked like the image was curved away from me! Was getting ready to RMA the monitor unitll I watched this!

Thanks for the video! Going to a curved monitor was very easy for me initially with an LG (38" ultrawide) 38WK95C-W, and then a new LG (49" ultrawide) 49WL95C-W. These displays are huge, crisp, and provide a ton of extra real estate to work with!

[@shadostorm8375]

Thanks for your valuable input Andrew. May I know why you had to upgrade to a 49" as I am deciding between a flat 4k 34" and the 38".

[@WritewheelUK]

Thanks for the video. I'd considering replacing my twin 27" monitors with a curved screen, and am looking for arguments for and against. One point: You gave your wife your old screen for a Christmas present? Wow! You live dangerously. Respect though.

Just made the switch back to a flat panel from a curved panel and had the same fishbowl style effect. I thought my display may have been defective. Thanks for the video!

[@OdinsOdyssey5252]

Thank you so much. I was going to get crazy. Almost wanted to bring the monitor back. Have same issue, used more than 2 years curved 34 one for more than 8 hours a day. Now I just bought a 40 IPS Flat and I have this negative curve effect. Tried all settings, contacted Apple and the support from my monitor. Did all what they recommended nothing helped. Now I know why. So, then I just use it like that and hopefully will getting soon to be normal. After that experience, I can say for me no more curved monitor.

[@fransorka8074]

same for me, I got 34 curved and then after some time I spotted my TV screen and other monitors, even screen of cell phone seems to look convex. I think it is a huge deal that almost nobody from reviewers talk about this brain-melting issues. Im gonna sell this curve monitor and bring back the flat one. I'm afraid long term melting brain like that could put some permanent issues to us. Especially because vendors are hiding the problem and there is no test/checks what this kind of brain treatment can do for your health. Big disaster that this topic is not talked wider. Great kudos to this channel to mention that problem.

[@mitchgreeninsc]

Thanks for this, been on a curved monitor for the past 6 years... just upgraded to a flat 1440 and experiencing the "bow"... nice to know I'm not crazy or permanently damaged :)

Only used for 4 hours and $500 was knocked off the price!!?? Sweet deal!! Loved the video

[@shadostorm8375]

I was contemplating between a flat 4k monitor and a curved ultrawide. In the end I bought a 49" Dell coz im mostly a 3D artist and a casual gamer and Im happy with it! if ure getting one, never get one that has too aggressive curves. The curve and the width of the monitor need to have a good balance so straight lines will look straight. I have no issues switching from flat to curved vice versa.

[@andreicoval8737]

Did you compare it to a Samsung CRG9 ? I am a 3d Artist as well and trying to decide between a more aggresive curve and a slight curve like the one on Dell and LG. I am more concerned about the edges of the screen being hard to read.

[@kogeisan]

So weird! I’ve exactly the same effect: convex impression… thx Tom for your review, I think I’ll still wait a couple weeks to see if my brain come back to a “flat” sensation

[@Mr_McKinney]

I'm so glad you posted this. I'm probably switching from the same curved monitor to the same flat monitor, but for the sharpnes of HiDPi, not a 4k preview. I've been in front of it an hour and I'm actually a bit nauseous. I think I'll give it a bit of time, but I'm pretty sure it's going right back in the box. Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy though!

[@kacperm.5127]

This is exactly a video I was looking for. Thank you a lot, this helped me.

[@BamaChad-W4CHD]

I had a similar issue the first few weeks after I switched to a curved monitor. It was a particular game for me. City Skylines. It's a city building Sim and I became very frustrated because trying to get the roads to line up was a challenge. I was able to turn on the snapping feature in the game that aligned everything for me. I turned it off after a week or two. I just got used to it like you did. Im not sure how much I'd enjoy switching back to a flat panel now after using curved for years.

[@Sponsi_PL]

Finally some real info about this topic and not BS. Thanks!

[@Vilmir]

After 6 months using a Dell 34 curved, I still see every line curved. I still see 21:9 videos with optical distortion. Some people get used to it, some don’t and you will have to discover if you will by purchasing one.

[@mvhan911]

I have a Philips 32" 328E1CA for one month and still notice the curved above and mostly below eye level. Especially while working with windows and spread sheets the further below eye level the more the edge of the window bends according to the curvature of the screen.

Maybe it also depends on the radius of the curve, and how far you're from the monitor

[@Vilmir]

@ yep maybe, but I also noticed by testing a Samsung G9 that on a larger surface, if you keep the windows small in width, the distortion is way less visible. On a 34' I tend to have 2 windows opened that takes half the place, on a 49' I would tend to use smaller windows. I overall prefered the G9 experience over my 34' at work. Even if the curve is way more pronounced. But the price tag is so much higher than for a double 27' 4k setup...

[@ThaexakaMavro]

I'm never going back to a curve monitor

[@dexterwilliams4289]

I’m guessing it would be a bad idea to have a curved screen at home and not have one a work. It’s probably uncomfortable to come home to a curved screen after being on a non-curved screen all day, right? What do you think? My office has a normal screen but I’m thinking about buying a curved one at home. However, switching like that would prob be a headache and a half.

But what about the real world outside? If you get used to a curved monitor (& IMHO the content on a curved monitor should be fisheyed to compensate, but games or desktops don't do that), how does it not affect your perception of the real world?

Is there any chance that this could cause some long-term damage to the eyes or whatever else might be involved? We probably don't have enough data, but now that I went back to my flat one -- I'm scared of ever getting a curved one again, in fact -- planning on selling my G7 (curved) and get a flat one. I also have astigmatism, and not even my eye doctor has any advice for me regarding monitors.

[@Ptage]

If anything flat ones could be more dangerous... but I doubt it's the case. Our vision is warped strongly by our brain which processes the image similarily like you process video in a video editing program. If our "program" edits the image differently it doesn't mean that the camera (eyes) get any damage.

[@SylvexDragonskin]

It all depends on the curve and the size. If it's a slight curve on a 34" you will need at max a few days to get used to it because without a curve a line won't look straight because it'll be further away from your eyes on the sides. Best thing is to just pick 2 monitors and return 1 ;)

I recently switched to flat monitor and currently having this effect. I don't recommend curved monitor. It messes up your optic perception. That opposite curve effect when you look at the flat monitor is actually same for the real world too. You see flat surfaces curved outward. I don't mean you'll have fish eye effect on everything tho. If you have this effect you can go and check, you can look straight ahead to a portrait on the wall or something has flat lines like grid on a wall and find out. It may not be noticable on bigger surfaces, but still it alters your view. Fortunately this thing goes away after a while using flat monitor according to people's experiences and hopefully the visual effect it causes in the real world will also go away.

[@LostInJPN]

Interesting to see so many people having the same experience of switching from a curved to flat. Makes me wonder if it has something to do with how our eyes adapt. Depending on the distance you sit from your monitor, if you're really close, and spend 8 hours working every day on your monitor- maybe the actually shape of your eye changes- or specific parts like the lens, distorting our vision. Maybe it becomes more pronounced on flat monitors- cause I sure as hell don't have the same fisheye effect in real life lol

[@fransorka8074]

main question is if this "effect" wont damage our brain in long term and why vendors dont talk anything about this brain influence. I would love to hear some neurologist opinion about that. I dont want to have brain-fkup after 5-10 years of curved monitors usage...

[@zmanphx]

I am trying to decide curve vs flat for ultrawide. I am use to dual flat screen that are slightly tilted towards each other .

[@eltouristoduo]

I've used both, at the same time. My 'brain' doesn't 'get used to', or 'correct' curves, nor do I 'want' it to. Straight lines are straight, curved is curved when viewed from any vertical angle but 90 degrees. I see what's on the damn screen, from the perspective of my eyes. Flat doesn't 'make you move your head' from side to side any more than curved. If anything, curved makes you move your head up and down to check the cuve. Reading glasses can sometimes produce an affect similar to a curved screen, and make curves on a curved screen much worse. This leads me to think that maybe glasses could be made that would reduced the curves on a curved screen, idk. (they might be shaped funny) If so I think they'd have to be for a certain vertical fov (matching a smaller monitor close or larger farther). Idk if they ever tired to make compound curved (torus) screens, but I think that would be better. If your eyes where in the middle of 'both' radius, then lines should look straight. It would be interesting to know why they don't make cured that way instead of just horizontally curved. Seems pretty stupid, actually, to only have curve one way. Idk for sure, but I'd guess it's probably just too difficult to make compound curve. Maybe I will google that question.

[@gamesturbator]

I archived my 27GL83A-B order on Amazon thinking that simply canceled the order without it disappearing and then went in search of a curved monitor with similar qaulity. Then I go and find out that archiving an order does NOT cancel the order so now I'm stuck with it instead of getting something I valued a little more. I hate how confusing Amazon is. But at least it's also a good monitor I just prefer slightly curved at 27inch.

[@Fearagen]

Yeah when I got my ultrawide the first noticeable thing was the taskbar being curved but then after a couple of weeks the taskbar looked straight again. And When I play games they feel more immersive then when I first got it so if you are looking into a curved monitor note that it'll take a while for your brain to adjust.

[@saywhat9158]

Now the question, how will the eyes and brain react when your primary monitor is curved but you also use supporting flat monitors around it? Do they learn to adjust or do you get severe strain?

Great topic. Resolve seems pretty appealing. Is DR 15 capable of displaying the source monitor and program monitor on a 2nd 16:9 LCD panel while keeping the rest (timeline, scopes, ect.) on the first 21:9 LCD panel?

I am not sure, sorry.

Hey Dave, does this monitor have temporary burn-in issues? Like if you kept some windows on the same location for a day or so, does it visible when you open a blank white screen? I am considering buying this monitor for the ppi it provides for the money.

I have a 34" curved (1500R) ultrawide, and when I have to look at my wife's flat 24" monitor, it freaks me out because it looks like a really old CRT-TV to my brain. :P That is, it's "bending the other way", to me brain.

what ?? how come ?? i am still confused ..........

[@antiHUMANDesigns]

@@arnigx The thing is that when you sit close to a flat monitor, the edges of the screen are notably farther away from your eyes than the center is. Because it's farther away, it looks smaller, right? Because that's the law of perspective. But we get used to that and don't think it looks like it's curving away from us. the brain "fixes" that for us. So you look at a flat monitor and you think it looks flat. But because I am used to looking at a monitor that is curved around/toward me, and thinking that is "flat", a monitor that is actually flat makes my brain think it's curving *away* from me, because the brain expects the distance to the edges to be the same as to the center when something looks "flat", but that's no longer the case. And yes, that's really freaky! And yes, it did take a few days to get used to the curved monitor, as the brain sees that it's curved, at first. But it "forgets" this after a while, and it looks flat. That's when normal, flat monitors start looking freaky, instead.
