Hi,

I read online news everyday. Are curved monitors good for reading text? Or are they just good for gaming?

I went to a 3C shop looking for a computer monitor, and the sales representative told me that "curved monitors are for gamers, and a flat display is better at reading texts". Is he correct?

Besides, I'll use the monitor mainly for web surfing, online news reading, video watching(YouTube, Netflix), and social media websites(Facebook), so should I get a VA(Samsung)or S-IPS(ViewSonic) display? VA and S-IPS panels, which is more expensive?

What are the pros and cons of a "32" curved computer display"? Should I buy a flat or curved display with the needs listed above?

Thanks.

Ed
 
I went ultrawide but flat. I can't see curved being a problem though for text. Curved will be lovely when watching videos
 
IPS is preferable for better colour reproduction. TN is cheaper but you loose colour depth.
