I’m in the market for a new monitor. My 32" LCD is nice but now I have some spending money and really want to move up to an OLED display, as they seem to be maturing nicely and can give me an amazing bump in refresh rate.

Many OLED displays are curved, of course. All ultrawides are, some severely so (800r!!!)
I’ve always shied away from curved monitors because I feel like it could distort the appearance of some solid/2d geometry vs a flat panel. (I’m also not crazy about the desk space they occupy either, but I can work around that).

Do any of you use CAD packages (solidworks, inventor, autocad) on curved monitors, and if so how well does it appear? My target would be a 34" or 42" 4k display.

    Using fusion360 and freecad in my AOC 32" 21:9 curved and I see / feel absolutely zero difference to a flat display

    It doesnt distort anything for me, my vision simply accounts for the curve and I have no problems
