I prefer monitors with an aggressive radius myself which does improve readability towards the edges of the display. Working with documents has never been easier using a curved monitor and having several side by side is just fantastic when compared to my old 27" 1200p monitor. I'd dearly love to have a taller curve than what my HP Envy 34C offers but I am still very happy with this unit and the performance of its VA panel..Given how wide this monitor is, I think the curve helps a lot with being able to see the sides better. Also the curve radius is more aggressive than on the X34 and PG348Q.
