How to Use This Calculator
1

Enter Screen Size

Input your monitor’s diagonal size. Curved monitors are most beneficial for sizes 32 inches and above, especially ultrawide formats.

2

Select Curve Radius

1000R means the curve has a radius of 1000mm. Lower numbers = more aggressive curve. 1500R is most common for ultrawides.

3

Set Viewing Distance

Measure your typical sitting distance from the screen. Ideally, the curve radius should match your viewing distance for uniform focus distance across the screen.

Understanding Curved Monitors

Why Curve Matters

Curved screens wrap around your field of view, keeping all parts of the screen equidistant from your eyes, reducing eye strain on wide displays.

Ideal Curve Matching

The ideal curve radius equals your viewing distance. Sitting at 70cm? A 700R curve would be perfect, but 1000R-1500R is usually fine.

Curve vs Size

Larger screens benefit more from curvature. A curve on a 27" 16:9 is unnecessary, but essential for 49" 32:9 super ultrawides.

Gaming vs Productivity

Gaming benefits from immersive curves (1000R-1500R). For productivity and design work, flatter curves (1800R+) reduce distortion.
