Curved monitors once seemed like a momentary fad. A piece of tech that would enter the market and drift away just as quickly as it had entered. But the opposite appears to be true: they have outlasted the storm and are as popular as ever.<\/p>\n

Perhaps this is down to many realising the usefulness of their distinctive curve. The curve aligns with your field of view, which makes the way you move your eyes more natural.<\/p>\n

There is also more screen in your periphery, meaning you won\u2019t need to twist your neck as much. The curve mimics reality, allowing for a more immersive experience, whether you\u2019re using it for work, gaming, or just casual use.<\/p>\n

The depth of the curve is measured by its radius, or \u2018R\u2019 in millimetres. The smaller the number, the deeper the curve. Most monitors will come in 1000R, 15000R or 1800R, although there are some that can fall around 4000R for more subtle curves.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to jump on the curved monitor train, we\u2019ve listed our picks for the best options on the market below.<\/p>\n
