Board 8 > Anyone use those ultra wide curved monitors?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Looking into getting a monitor upgrade for my PC and these look interesting, and seem proper for my desk setup since I have a corner desk and the main monitor is in the corner. Anyone use them?

Questions that those for do:

1. Do they work with a multiple monitor setup with flat monitors as the sides without being irritating for your viewing experience? Like I know you have to basically be looking square at em to avoid distortion, but I figure side monitors will generally be isolated things I'm doing so I'm thinking they don't really all need to be curved, but maybe your eyes get in a zone or something I don't know.

2. If you're playing a game that doesn't support the ultrawide resolution I assume there are black bars on the right and left sides. Is this distracting or can you easily block them out.

3. Do you think they actually improve anything like immersion and such? No difference? Inferior to standard monitors?

Or if you have anything else to add have at it.

Pretty sure it's a marketing gimmick, but don't take my word for it, I've (obviously) never bought one.

I feel like they are marginally better if you really like playing shooters that support them.

Personally, i find them kind of strange. Prices on them are kind of tanking this holiday season. Been seeing a lot of deep discounts on curved ultra wides. A possible sign that the market for them may not have much staying power. Especially since the large tv format is not heading in that direction.
