Your Brain When Switching From a Curved to Flat Monitor

If you've recently switched from a curved monitor to a flat monitor, you might have noticed something weird?

When using a curved monitor, the screen curves inwards towards you, which can eliminate head-turning.

If you switch from a curved monitor to a flat monitor, it appears that your screen is curved but outwards or in reverse.



It's pretty weird, and it was freaking me out when I replaced a 34" curved monitor with a 34" flat ultra widescreen monitor.

Video tutorial:



People have reported all sorts of reactions, from headaches to seeing their optician to motion sickness. Some people claim that the problem never goes away. I am experiencing more eye strain than my previous 34" flat screen.

My first assumption was a defective monitor, but the monitor was working perfectly. My next attempt was to make some adjustments or calibrate the monitor, but once again, no luck.

There isn't much you can do about this, but you can make an informed decision. If you're going from a curved monitor to a flat monitor, you might reconsider. For me, I noticed I need to turn my head more with a flat monitor.

If you prefer the flat monitor, the other option is to use this information, expect to see a backward curve, and expect to see it for 2-3 weeks.

What am I going to do? I am returning this monitor and going to buy an ultra-widescreen curved monitor. It wasn't a big deal for the standard 34" monitor, but I won't need to turn my head as much with the ultra-wide. For me, anything over 30" is too "square," and a widescreen monitor is the way to go.

What we don't know is what causes it. It's either your brain, your eyes, or both. I hope someone smarter than me can explain this phenomenon. Hopefully, we have a doctor or scientist who can explain why this happens, and we can share that information?

I will update the article if I hear from anyone and with the results when I get my curved ultrawide monitor.
