Do people actually use 49 inch curved displays?

I once asked for a curved monitor for my birthday. Instead of spending 200 dollars on something i wanted i got a monitor as if it where a punishment for existing.

And when I got it. This thing was HUGE. It was in fact a giant ugly peice of shit that i gawked at. It made the icons too small so i had to turn on the resolution scaling to 200%. So she installed a gawdy robot arm to adjust the monitor. It would be more ugly if it where flat.

Outside if being a gaming manchild why even have them? Do people just use them so they wont have 2 displays? It makes me so angry it exists.

Don't really see the point with curved displays, so I never got one. I mean, if you're going to sit very close to a very large screen, a curve might be good in order to see more of the screen's edges. But I don't want to sit very close to a giant screen.

It's good if you find multiple monitors useful but don't want a split in the middle. You can segment the monitor into different virtual displays, so it is flexible. I find with a display that large, the curved aspect works well and it's easier to look at than one wide but flat display.

For gaming I can't speak on that, I use a 16:9 display for that because it's largely what games expect.
