I bought one of those ultra wide, curved computer monitors a bit back as you guys know. Some folks told me that they hated these screens for video editing due to the curvature messing with straight lines. Some folks said the curve caused visual distortion issues editing photos, etc.
Having used this thing for several months now, I can confidently say. All of that is rubbish. I should have bought this thing ages ago. If you are working with a standard screen, or worse, a laptop screen, do yourself a HUGE favor and get one of these curved ultra wide screens. It's a game changer. Everything is easier to deal with. it's like having a dual head setup in one big screen. Video editing is no doubt the best part of it. The curvature doesn't impact perception at all and just makes it easier to view a lot of stuff at once. Also, the width makes video editing programs finally feel like they are working properly. In addition it's great for GAMES!! Playstation 4 games look great as do Google Stadia games.  In short. Get one!!! Mine isa 34 inch and I'd say get that size or bigger if possible. These run about $325 in the USA.

That's interesting Todd! I also was wondering if the curved would have any negative effect when editing video or photos. I have no experience at all with one of these monitors but as I need to update mine, it's one of the possible options.
Thanks for the review! -------------------- My lessons

I'm considering the Samsung G9 49" Ultrawide for simracing in the future but may end up with a triple screen depending on other uses

Ordered this one, but from a Danish site of course. I got some money from my parents today (birthday gift) and splashed the rest myself towards this.
https://www.newegg.com/p/0JC-0016-002E7 Also, as I got a free TV about a week back for my bedroom, my current two monitors in my studio room (old Aldi TV and a 2006 Samsung 19") can still be used in my studio. Triple monitor setup! And one of them an ultrawide  My original plan had been to move the Aldi TV I've been using as main PC monitor to the bedroom, but that's no longer needed.
