Do these monitors reduce the "fish-eye" effect with games that use a wide FOV?

Pointless on a 16:9 monitor if you ask me. On a 21:9, sure.

This curved crud is going too far. There is no need for it. It is all just marketing sludge. Screens need to be of major size before they need to be curved. Look at movie theaters. Those screens are much larger and not curved. Actual film is on the or about 8 or 16K for resolution. You really need to get into very wide aspect ratios before curved screens are necessary. Companies just need to make the 4K products stand out becuase of the lack of 4k material. That is all it is about. These curved screens can go flush themselves. Edit: heaven help us, this is only 1920 x 1080, what a waste.

Movie theater screens are slightly curved.

27" does not need to be curved. Benefit is minimal and makes screen basically single user. as it becomes uncomfortable from different angles.

This is my impression too. Looking at the edges of a curved screen at a different angle than the center from a relatively short distance does not appeal to me for a screen of that size. Of course I cant know unless trying it out, so thats just my impression. I would think a curved screen like the new 34" 21:9 LGs would be fantastic, just not for 27".

Just informational and a good read to educate oneself on the whole curved screen sub topic. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2489937/personal-technology/curved-screen-tvs-expected-to-quickly-flatten-out.html

You made me think this was a new thread. Why would you bring up such an ancient thread talking about an ancient monitor?
