1800R curvature on a 32" diagonal monitor seems mild enough that I can tolerate it. I absolutely was not shopping for a curved monitor. I selected this model for its other features, particularly the 144Hz refresh rate with FreeSync2.

My take is that 30+ curved makes more sense than 30+ flat unless you sit really far away from it. Oddly enough, as much as I hate 16:9 compared to 16:10 I actually kind of like 21:9 since 21:9 is a lot like two oldschool 5:4 panels. And let's be honest here, 16:10 may be the aspect ratio of kings but dual 5:4 from circa 2003 to 2010 was the aspect ratio of gods.

I'll replace it with another IPS display at some point. If it came down to an IPS with bad bleed or a VA display I'd take the IPS display in a heartbeat.
