Are there any actual advantages to curved monitors or are they just curved to look cool?

Read about it in https://www.cdw.com/content/cdw/en/articles/hardware/pros-and-cons-curved-monitors.html

If you’re (nearly) convinced, rent one for a month to try before buying one.

I didn’t know you could rent monitors. Are there companies for that?

https://www.google.com/search?q=rent+monitor will tell you?

Do you know that Google knows more than mere humans like forum visitors?

I have used a Samsung Odyssey for about 2 years and definitely prefer it over a standard flat screen. It does give you a wider view without increasing the phsyical desk space dramitically. Not a deal breaker either way, but especially useful if you read a lot of text regularly or are an online gamer. As much as I thought I would pay extra, I got a 32 inch curved display for about $150 back then.

I believe they just look cool. The main reason people argue that they’re better is it’s easier to look at.

Curved monitors.

If you like the wide view and do not want to use multiple cords for different monitors to have a more clean workspace then a curved monitor is a great choice although expensive.
