Seems like there was a time when Samsung decided to curve all its displays.

I can understand curved ultrawide monitors, but a 24inch 1080p display. Really?

Same boat. I bought cables and Fedex had the package within <5 miles and today the package is in another state. I'm baffled by that and I order a ton of stuff but it's usually shipped by UPS/USPS/Amazon.

I generally agree that large curved displays are a bad idea because it gives a better picture only to the 1 person it's centered for. That said, 24" curved displays are nice for 3-display setups. Was hoping to replace my 2 remaining flat displays with thin-bezel curved.

EDIT: The AOC display that matches my existing one is back in stock for $144 so I picked up 2.

That AOC is a great deal! You should post it.

Curved really only makes sense for 21:9 or 32:9. 16:9 curved felt weird when I used it.

Also this monitor is 1200R, the curve must be crazy!

Is that AOC better than this Monoprice?

They were $116 back in November, which is when I bought my first one. Didn't think I'd like curved, but now the flat displays on the sides annoy me and don't really fit on my stand.

I'll set my parents up with the 2 displays I'm replacing, so now they are entering the world of dual displays.

Am I missing something? Why would you need a small monitor to be curved? Unless you're gonna buy two and put them together, right?

I don't own either monitor, but I would say that the AOC with a height-adjustable stand and faster response rate for the same price is the better deal.
