For the longest time, I considered curved monitors to be nothing more than a gimmick like 3D TVs (remember those?). But over the years and through personal experience, I've learned that these panels deliver a level of utility that traditional, flat-screen displays can't offer.

I recently added the Alienware 34-inch Curved Gaming Monitor to my home work setup. In that time, I've started to seriously consider making it a permanent fixture of my office space because it has greatly improved my workflow and wowed me with its visual output.
Before I discuss my experience, let me first review the specs, as Alienware's model boasts some impressive numbers. It is a 34-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor running at Wide Quad HD resolution (3,440 x 1,440 pixels) and a refresh rate of 240Hz.
In plain English, this means the output is phenomenal. The screen's curvature of 1800R (radius) delivers a deeply immersive experience. I've tried to emulate the same level of immersion with my two monitors, but they don't hold a candle to a proper curved display.
