Using CAD on a curved monitor?
Using CAD on a curved monitor?
I'm in the market for a new monitor. My 32" LCD is nice but now I have some spending money and really want to move up to an OLED display, as they seem to be maturing nicely and can give me an amazing bump in refresh rate.
Many OLED displays are curved, of course. All ultrawides are, some severely so (800r!!!)
I've always shied away from curved monitors because I feel like it could distort the appearance of some solid/2d geometry vs a flat panel.
(I'm also not crazy about the desk space they occupy either, but I can work around that).
Do any of you use CAD packages (solidworks, inventor, autocad) on curved monitors, and if so how well does it appear? My target would be a 34" or 42" 4k display.

I'd stay away from OLEDs for desktop usage still.
As for the curve. It'll be fine.
I understand the burn in risks, but since I don't need to run it at max brightness all the time and normally like running apps in dark mode anyway, I'm willing to take the plunge as I think burn in will not be that big of a deal.
Mostly just worried about curves. Thanks!
I'd be more worried about burn in. Static elements on your desktop are still a big problem for OLEDS.
They do look amazing though. Good luck 😁👍
Yeah, i;ve heard that too, but i've also heard that burn in typically happens from trying to run them too bright all the time with said static elements being white and not dark. i already run most of my system in dark mode and try to have a fairly dark room meaning i don't need maxed out monitor brightness, so I think I can mitigate a lot of the burn in risk. Thanks!
