What Makes Curved Display So Special?
This question might have popped up in your mind and why should you consider buying one? Well Curved displays give you an immersive experience and a uniform picture quality. By almost wrapping the display around your peripheral vision they provide a more true to life experience giving almost sort of a 3D aspect to it.
It becomes hard to get a uniform look at the corners of your screen with bigger displays so with a Curved screen your eyes are always at the same angle and distance from the screen so you get a great look at the corners even if you have a large display.
Which Size Works Best For You?
When buying a monitor you need to know the right size of screen that will suit your needs. If you’re going to use it for productivity tasks like editing, designing or office works then you may go with a larger display like 32 inches.
For gamers, you should go with 24 to 27 inch screens as you would want to have as much information in your peripheral vision as possible so a medium size screen can help you focus better on your game.
Important thing to note is the amount of curve on your monitor . This is usually measured by letter R meaning radius of the curve and the lesser the number, the more it is curved so a monitor with 1600R will be more curved compared to a monitor which is 1800R.
Curved displays work the best with wide aspect ratios like 21:9.
Other than that it’s as simple as buying any other Monitor in the market so let’s hope onto our list of Top Curved Monitors in India.
LG Ultrawide Curved Monitor has a 34 inch display which is quite big and has some of the best looking colors and great black levels thanks to the 1000:1 contrast ratio.

This 32 inch monitor by Samsung is great for media consumption as well as productivity.

It also offers to upscale lower resolution content to near 4K like quality and another handy feature is the picture by picture mode allowing you to connect different devices to the same monitor which would’ve been better if this was a wide angle monitor.

9. Samsung 24 inch Curved Gaming Monitor LC24RG50FQWXXL
We have another gaming focused monitor this time from Samsung, we have seen earlier monitors that offer high refresh rates and low response times so what makes this stand out? Well it has an intelligent gaming mode which adjusts the colors, contrast, sharpness and gamma depending on which genre of game you’re playing and a virtual crosshair although we do not endorse using it. 24 inch screen size and a high 144 Hertz refresh rate makes sure you will have a great time gaming on this.
You don’t need to miss out on the curved monitors that not only look premium but also have great picture quality even if you’re on a tight budget. AOC’s monitor really pushes the limits of what you can get for a budget, with a nice 75 hertz of refresh rate and a 1500R curved panel and a slim and sleek design. It does miss out on some specific modes but then again you’re not paying that premium for it as well. This monitor should definitely be considered if you’re looking for a good monitor in general at a budget.
