When I was setting up my home office and shopping for monitors, I immediately rejected the curved models. What would I need a curved monitor for?
Because of the dual monitors I had at work, I was pretty set on what size I wanted and I shopped until I found monitors with good reviews and a decent price. I unpacked them, hooked everything up, attached my laptop to the docking station and discovered why I needed curved monitors.
My desk at work is short, but it's deep. The monitors were farther back from me and I was able to see all sides of the screens well. Not so much at home.
The narrower desk means I have to turn my head to see the edges of the screens. It's mostly on the right side since I tend not to sit in the middle of my desk. I'm not sure why I do this or why I decided to sit far over on the left, but I do. To alleviate some of the head swiveling, I had to turn my right monitor at a harder angle than the left. This aggravates my OCD. :-)
Since I ordered my current monitors online, there was no way I was going to return them and they're good monitors. I like the quality and they're working well. But if I had to do it over again, I'd definitely go with the curved ones.
