Or is the difference negligible?

My curved monitor used to give me headaches but I was probably sitting too close

I've been using a curved monitor for a couple years and haven't noticed any difference really, but I don't tend to get eye strain unless I'm on the computer all day or something.

I use one constantly
Someone said this about curved monitors and it still rings true

"the difference between using a curved monitor, and a flat edge monitor is that when you used a curved monitor you eventually dont realize that its curved" eye strain wise

So I'd say its pretty good, no eye strain at all

Curved is superior because otherwise the far corners of the monitor are further away from the eyes. Obviously this is only really apparent on larger monitors though.

Before buying curved some people said that curved is not ideal for CAD/Drafting and to those fools I say bullshit, I've done a boatload of 3D Design on my curved monitor and I've had zero issue. Just people trying to sound smart by saying the curve will "distort straight edges since it's not a flat plane" or some shit, get out of town
