Q & A

1. What is the difference between flat and curved computer monitors?

Flat computer monitor: Easy to control the quality of the screen. The liquid crystals in the glass substrate are arranged evenly and offer consistent colours and definition. Flat screens are suitable for design-related work without geometric distortion.

Curved computer monitor: Curvature is generally expressed by XXXX (number) + R. For example, 3200R curvature refers to a circular arc with a radius of 3200mm. Curvature intensifies from 4000R to 3200R, 3000R, and 1800R. The smaller the curvature number, the greater the bending curve. The curved screen conforms to the structure of the human eye and offers a wider viewing angle. It allows for an immersive viewing experience when watching movies or playing games.

2. Are larger monitors better?

Using a large screen to browse images and graphics offers higher visual enjoyment. It also displays more window content for increased work efficiency. Check the distance between the computer monitor and yourself. The optimal distance is generally 1.5 times the monitor size. The most important thing is to choose a monitor size that is most comfortable for viewing.
