I had no opinion until I was assigned one at work. My opinion is the opposite of yours. I find it very annoying (for reasons entirely unrelated to what the article is talking about), and wish that I could swap it out. I may smuggle my own monitor in to do that.

Different strokes for different folks!

I think LCDs have been around long enough that we no longer notice all the problems with them. If you have a large monitor on your desk, chances are very good that there is nowhere you can place your head where some part of the display doesn't look noticeably darker than another part. You can TRY to compensate for that by cranking the brightness up, but then you set yourself up for eye strain.

I'm lead to believe that OLED displays don't have these issues (and have much better color fidelity as well) but they have a limited lifespan.

For me, I've found that some curved displays are better than others. My home monitor is curved, on a seemingly very large radius, and I love it!

However some that I've used that are more curved make everything look distorted.

I've been thinking of getting one. What is your use-case and why do you like it? Mine would be mostly work, but at least some gaming each week.

My regret is I didn't buy a 4K one at 32" but it's still good

Some of my buddies have that 8K Samsung one, that one is nuts to see in person
