Using CAD on a curved monitor? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm in the market for a new monitor. My 32" LCD is nice but now I have some spending money and really want to move up to an OLED display, as they seem to be maturing nicely and can give me an amazing bump in refresh rate.

Many OLED displays are curved, of course. All ultrawides are, some severely so (800r!!!)
I've always shied away from curved monitors because I feel like it could distort the appearance of some solid/2d geometry vs a flat panel. (I'm also not crazy about the desk space they occupy either, but I can work around that).

Do any of you use CAD packages (solidworks, inventor, autocad) on curved monitors, and if so how well does it appear? My target would be a 34" or 42" 4k display.

I use an ultra ultra wide 49" Samsung Odyssey at work and have only had one issue where I thought a straight line had a curve to it. Hasn't been an issue and I love it overall

One issue that hasn't been an issue. Which one is it?

[–] carzian@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I had one (minor) issue over the course of 2 years, I mention it because its directly relevant to OPs question. Its such a minor issue that in summary its never affected me
