I like my ultrawides curved, but wouldn't want a 16:9 curved.
I got one used, and not specifically because it was curved, I just wanted a monitor and it was available for a good price. The curve is mild and the monitor is only 24" so I don't notice it very much. The monitor feels a bit flatter to my eyes than my laptop screen due to field of vision.
I have one, only because it was an open-box special. I don't really notice a difference compared to a flat screen when I'm immersed in a game or whatever.
Curved monitors at 32" or less are pointless imo. But I have a 55" curved and it's glorious. The immersion is on par with VR.
That sounds like a nice setup, and no head goggles
I have a 32inch flat, wouldn't recommend that size unless curved.
lol. I have a 50 inch flat screen on my desk. You can get used to anything. Though my desk is almost a meter deep and the screen sits right on the edge.
The color distortion around the edges bug me. The view distance matters a lot. Mine is on an arm, it's close when I working.
Media consumption is fine
they can provide headaches if you stare at them too long (and are playing 2d games) (too long may be >20 hours)

Laughable, I think about MINUTES!
By using 2 small screens extremely close to my face, I can have a whole plethora of screens virtually. 😏
