Flat Vs Curved Monitors Eye Strain

Beautiful. This monitor is absolutely beautiful. From the moment you unpack it till you finish using it for the day, this is just a gorgeous piece of equipment. Positives: - Amazing to look at… even when off - No eye strain, even after a 10 hours of constant use - Great connection options - Fast refresh times - Excellent resolution - Curved Negatives: - Back cover for cord management is flimsy - Expensive This monitor replaced two IPS 19’’ monitors. When using those, I had noticed that I could not sit in front of them for a long time; but with this Samsung monitor, I can spend an inordinate amount of time without any eye strain or feeling uncomfortable. While a curved TV seems like a gimmick, using a curved monitor is absolutely amazing. You sit close enough in front of the monitor that having a curved screen actually seems to “envelop” your view. The colors are comparable to the older IPS monitors, but the single wide screen monitor really makes everything immersive as there is no “break” in content. The biggest negative that I could find is the price. This is an expensive product, no way around it. The other minor quibble is that in order to “hide” the power and connection cord in the back of the monitor, the back plastic plate is really flimsy and can easily fall out as there isn’t a locking / snapping mechanism. Fortunately, once set, this becomes a moot point. I recommend this for anyone looking for a top of the line monitor.

Very happy with the color & resolution of this model. I suffer from eye strain when monitors are low dpi or have poor color/contrast. I don't have any of those issues with this monitor. Now if only I could get my job to buy me one for the office. It was bigger than I had anticipated. I almost returned it for a smaller model, because if I wanted to get two, this would be too big for me. I may have noticed some ghosting while gaming and playing a very dark game, nothing severe, but definitely a knock if gaming is your primary usage.

Having 2 - 32 curved monitors side by side has made working so much easier. Plus my eye's are not as tiered at the end of the day.

I can finally see what I am typing. No more old man eye strain.

Glad that it has a flat slot for screwdriver, rather than a curved one for a coin...

Eye strain is much less with the blue filter, worth the extra bucks.

Holds my 2 32 inch curved 4k monitors very stable.

Hard to beat a good ViewSonic monitor. This might be the best value at 1080P 165hz! If it's anything like my past VS monitors, it'll last you 10+ years!

I got four of these monitors and they sound very nice, very well made, and good flat sound.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor has impressed me with its automatic adjustment to get the best settings for the game of choice. It's seamless and fluid let's you immerse yourself into the game. One thing that I've been concerned with is eye strain and the headaches that go with it. So far there's been no eye strain and no headaches.
