i had concerns before purchase about whether i would like the "curved" design of this extra-large, extra-wide-screen monitor. But i do not notice it at all when i use the monitor, it seems perfectly natural, and something you stop thinking about almost immediately after installation. Now, about a month after purchase, i cannot imagine how i ever got along with a monitor that was smaller than this one. If you spend a lot of time at your computer, as i do, it is life altering.
