How do the curved monitors compare against the conventional (flat) monitors for Photography (editing) use? Better, same or not as good?

Interesting question, to which I have no clue, but I'm going to watch this topic as I think about my next monitor.

Not as good in the corners.

This might help. Deals with TV viewing rather than photo but it seems to say, it's primarily a gimmick and it does have drawbacks.

For work I’d like a curved monitor. Maybe for TV but have never watched a movie on a large curved Samsun.
At home with Lightroom and my MPB, I bought a 27” Auses (sp?) that takes as much resolution my computer pumps out. Both my wife and I are happy with that monitor.

All the fancy (expensive) gizmos in a TV---smart screen--high refresh rate--4K--Curved screen--impact resistance--OLED ,QLED --curved screen, etc are designed for movie viewing. If you are not using the monitor for thaand just using it for phototography, you would be pissing your money away. It also depends upon how big you want to go. If you have too much money, get an all the above 70' screen for $2500 (and send some that extra dough my way). But if you are using the screen for photography a 42" flat screen for about $400 is far more than adequate

I agree, just make sure your monitor can handle the max res output of your computer. Example my MBP is 2560x1440 which my Asus 27" can handle. It looks good and was not that expensive at the time I purchased it. I use display port out of the mac... Technaclly tbolt to a docking station and display port from the docking station to the monitor. Looks better than HDMI into the monitor.

Basically, much to do about nothing with a monitor or TV. Really no advantage at all.

INHO, curved screens were developed because sales of flat screens had slowed down.

I think it's perfect.......if you are going to print curved photos. (just kidding)
I looked into them, and settled on a dedicated BenQ monitor, and I'm telling you, a monitor makes a huge difference.
