In recent years, displays with high refresh rate and curved screen have become popular. We know that the people with high refresh rate are mainly FPS game players, so as to reduce the virtual image and improve the smoothness of the game screen. The greatest advantage of curved screen display is that it is conducive to the players to obtain an immersive game experience. So what kind of people are curved displays suitable for? Next, Xiaolong from the installation house will introduce the difference and comparison between the straight screen and the curved screen display to help consumers better buy the display.
1、 Briefly introduce the advantages and disadvantages of TN, VA and IPS panels
There are several kinds of mainstream display panels, including TN, VA and IPS. It can be said that TN panel is the worst in color and color standard, but its advantage is that the response time is the fastest, and it can achieve 1ms response time. IPS and VA belong to wide viewing angle screens, and the color and color standard are better. Compared with the two, VA is slightly inferior to IPS, but the response time is usually 5ms. Some products with good performance can only reach 4ms. Pay attention to the response time, No doubt, TN panel is the choice. Of course, if it is not an E-sports display, we will not recommend TN panel at all. We will definitely prefer IPS and VA panel. IPS is a hard screen, which is usually used on flat screen displays. VA panel is a soft screen, which is usually used on curved screen.
Color and color standard: IPS > VA > TN;
GTG response speed: TN > VA > IPS;
Visual angle: IPS > VA > TN;
Contrast: VA > IPS > TN;
2、 Comparison of the difference between straight screen and curved screen display
Advantages of curved screen compared with straight screen display:
1. Wider perspective
Under the same screen size, the curved screen display has a wider viewing angle effect than the flat screen display, which is more visually excellent and has an immersive experience. However, it is recommended that the curved screen size be 27 inches or more.

Ultra wide viewing angle
2. More in line with the human eye structure
More in line with the human eye structure, the human eye is concave with radian, and the radian of the curved screen can theoretically achieve the same distance between each pixel and the retina.
3. It has a better three-dimensional sense
The curved screen display has a better stereoscopic sense, brings a certain degree of depth of field optimization, and produces a subtle naked eye 3D effect to obtain a real experience.
Disadvantages of curved screen compared with straight screen display:
1. Brightness / color / clarity, etc. are affected
We know that curved screen needs to be "bent". After bending, the physical and optical properties of the glass will change, and the liquid crystal molecules poured into the glass substrate will also be deformed and arranged unevenly due to the stress, thus affecting the brightness, color and clarity of the liquid crystal screen.
2. Geometric distortion of picture
The content presented by the curved screen is curved, so there will be a certain gap between the drawing and the actual effect. For professional graphic designers who require accuracy, the visual error cannot work normally.
3. Light leakage is difficult to control
Since various optical components of the LCD backlight unit are designed and optimized for the planar structure, in order to achieve the curved surface effect, the display manufacturer needs to "bend" these components, and the screen light leakage is naturally more uncontrollable.
4. The price is more expensive
Under the same brand and parameters of the display, the curved screen is undoubtedly a little more expensive than the flat screen display.
3、 What kind of people are curved display suitable for?
The curved screen display with curved design is best suitable for game players, people watching movies and home entertainment. The curved screen can bring immersive experience, but it is not suitable for some professional design or drawing users and content creators, especially those who design and draw.
The main reasons why it is not suitable for design and drawing are as follows.
1. The curved screen has a certain distortion to the picture effect. The designed pictures and CAD views are deformed. If there is a little inaccuracy in the process of designing graphics, the design will undoubtedly be biased. Moreover, the uniformity control of curved display panel is more difficult than that of straight screen display, so it is definitely not applicable.
2. The color restoration of IPS screen is better than that of va. because VA is a soft screen and IPS is a hard screen, the mainstream curved screen displays in the market are all designed with VA soft screen. Of course, there are a few hard IPS screens on curved screen, but the price is very expensive.
The above is the difference and comparison between the straight screen and the curved screen display shared by the installation house. In general, the biggest advantage of the curved screen is to give the user an immersive experience. Because the screen is curved, the screen size too small will be smaller. Therefore, we generally recommend that the size of 27 inches or above will be better. If you usually play games or watch movies more often, it is recommended to consider the curved screen, However, if the professional design drawing and other people and content creators still recommend to choose the flat screen, the work quality will be affected, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
