Monitor Curved
Kathryn Garivay
Has anyone encountered this issue before? I have a project with straight and curved grid lines. These grid lines exist in another model that is linked. When I try to select them to copy monitor, I can select all of the straight grids, but I cannot select the curved grids! I know I can simply copy them from one project to the next, but I would prefer to copy monitor them at this point.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. This is more than a curve. It is multi-segmented in the sketch, with straight segments and curved segments. As far as I can tell, this is the issue, not curves, but multiple segments.
I sometimes use a 27" curved without any perceptible distortion issues, but neither have I noticed any great benefit, What size is too big? I think 34" would be the sweet spot. 27" is now feeling very small.
It would distort if you were looking from high/low left/right corners of the monitor, but I've used a few different curved models and if you're sitting right in front of them theres no perceptible curve. I never really liked the curved monitors though personally, mostly because of how much more expensive they were compared to similar quality or sized flat panels. Big fan of the ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio models though.
Agreed. It's a 3-factor combination of physical size, resolution and viewing distance. I'll pass on the curved and stick with 34" UW. eGPU now allows even a modest machine great graphics performance !
This means that a lower monitor curvature rating will result in a more pronounced curve, while a higher monitor curvature rating will result in a more subtle curve. Keeping the 1000R curvature of the human eye mentioned above will give you a good reference point when looking into monitor curvature ratings.
Immersion. Curved monitors cover more of your peripheral vision than their flat counterparts. The result is a more immersive experience that allows you to interact with your work in a completely new way, whether it be for gaming, entertainment, editing, work, and more.
Eye comfort. Curved monitors follow the natural curvature of the human field of view more closely than flat panels. The benefit here is that it is actually more comfortable for your eyes to look at your monitor under these conditions. This allows you to spend more time in front of your screen without feeling irritated.
Less distortion. By extending closer to you at the corners, monitor curvature is able to reduce minor instances of distortion that are present at the edges of a flat display as a result of our curved field of view. In addition, curved displays also cover a larger portion of our field of view, resulting in bigger looking images and improved depth perception.
The benefits of a curved monitor come down to efficiency. The fact that curved monitors are easier on the eyes is a plus when putting in long hours at the office. A 2016 study about the eyestrain caused by intensive visual search tasks concluded the following:
While this is a major benefit on its own, where curved monitors in the office really excel is when they are in ultrawide form. By having one long monitor running parallel to your field of view, the number of possible simultaneously open applications and windows increases dramatically. Check out our ultrawide vs. dual monitor article for a more in-depth look at the benefits of ultrawide monitors.
*An additional benefit of curved monitors that appeals to anyone using a computer screen is the way that light interacts with the curve itself. Curved screens actually have the potential to greatly reduce glare and other external light-based issues, which are of great benefit no matter what you are viewing on your screen. Try to find a flat-screen that can do that!
The method by which curved displays are manufactured depends on the technological era. Early on in the lifespan of LCD and curved displays, monitor curvature was achieved by physically bending pre-existing monitor panels.
In the past, curved IPS monitors gained a bad reputation for having certain anomalies such as mura and the color mixture effect, however curved technology has progressed in recent years to the point where these anomalies are not an issue anymore.
If your primary application will be office work or photo and video editing, then a curved professional monitor with a more conservative monitor curvature with a broader radius may be a better option for you.
If you look at the section titled "Using the docking station" it talks about connecting a monitor to the HDMI and the DisplayPort. This may give you some insight as to what you need to do to get the higher resolution.
Thanks Old_geekster, but the User Guide simply states: "For resolutions greater than 2560 x 1600, only single display mode can be used," And that's what I'm currently set for. The HP 34f is the only display recognized with my setup.
I believe that the problem may be the capability of your Docking Station. I suggest that you read the Troubleshooting Section titled "Video problems" on Page 18. It appears to state that the maximum resolution for the DS is 2560 x 1600: The external monitor screen resolution is higher than the maximum limit of 2560 x 1600.

For working in design you want a monitor with better colour accuracy, especially when working with material that may be printed. In my last studio we used either Lacie or Eizo monitors with colour calibration. Here is an example of a new Eizo: -4k/index.html
I have not used a curved monitor (or even a flat very wide aspect-ratio monitor), so no opinion from met yet. @sjdorst Steven, might you be able to modify the mountings of your two flat monitors to tilt them toward each other 10 or 20 degrees, forming a very shallow vee between them? If you have the under-furniture volume to accommodate a curved monitor then tilting two flat monitors ought to fit as well. I use two monitors at work (for software engineering, not design) and I keep them tilted slightly toward each other such that my eye-line is more-or-less perpendicular to both while sitting still.
Curved monitors are supposed to create a more immersive experience for the user. Curved monitors take use length, width, and height to expand on peripheral vision while flat monitors only use two of those. In a similar vein, curved monitors also reduce distortion by taking advantage of the shape to aim everything at the user while flat monitors aim everything in a straight line. There are of course some downsides to curved monitors like how they can be prone to glare because of how it projects light. If interested, you can read more about the pros/cons here .
I recently changed from 2 x 24" 1440p monitors to 1 x 35" curved, while slightly less estate to work in, I have also started using Windows virtual displays and moving between them. I do miss my dual-screen setup, but I do also like the curved monitor I have.
Being a gamer, I have always considered getting a few curved monitors as at this stage I am running 4 30" monitors. It could mean that I still use the 4 flat screens I have for when I am doing my normal Admin work when at home on weekends or after hours but have my games running on the curved monitors
When I use my work Laptop, I now have the space to use it with the lid open and I always open my mail client there (15.6" 1080p Screen).
The Curved Monitor is just like 2 Monitors, when you snap one window on the left and one on the right.
My general experience of monitors is that screen height is typically a limiting factor. I like a 4k (3840x2160) of 32-34 inch diagonal, or even better two of them side by side.
At the moment the setup I run KiCad on has a 1920x1080 screen where I typically have the project manager and datasheets, web browser etc., a 32" 4K screen for the board editor and a 2k (2560x1440) screen for the schematic editor. When I exclusively work on the schematic, I move it to the 4K screen and have datasheets etc. on the 2K screen.
You will need an reasonably modern graphics card (I mean a 14 year old one will probably not support this setup, but from 2015 or so and newer it might.
I have doubts that a 14 year old graphics card will support a 3440x1440 monitor either; typically it was more like 1920x1200 or 2K at that time. But it depends what you have, check the specifications for the graphics card you have.
I would also never buy such a letterbox monitor. Screen height is useful, and it does not use up any desktop space. Just think about all that empty space above your low-height monitor, and think of what you can do with it if it was filled with monitor too.
