I don't like curved displays(blog.danielh.cc)

Depends on size. With a 49" it absolutely helps because it reduced how much you need to change the distance your eyes are focusing at between center and sides.

Nah... I do like them. I like having an ultrawide monitor, and curved is a must .

I think curves make sense for e.g. those 34-40" 21:9 and 49" 32:9 displays, because otherwise the edges are much further from your peripheral vision, requiring you to change focus significantly to look at different parts of the screen. My mother has a 22" 16:9 curved screen, and it's impossible to sit at a distance for which the curve is useful while still preserving your ability to actually focus on the fucking thing.

Little curve good, big curve bad. Imagine its 20 years ago before these monitors were made and you had multiple monitors.

Ever see a dashboard chihuahua? (Or on the rear deck of a car). Thats you if you use a multimonitor setup. Do that for even 10 years, your neck hurts and your focus is distracted because you cant look straight ahead at your work and are constantly turning your head from left to right all day.

Its a bad ergo. Little curve good. Big curve only for gaming immersion. I refuse to use dual monitors even if a 27 inch panel is provided.

Is turning you head left and right really worse for the neck than rigidly keeping staring straight for hours? Somehow I find it hard to believe.

Yeah, "turning your head is an unnatural movement" is a wild take. Setting aside the matter of ancestral environment, there are plenty of professions where people work at a desk/workstation on which they have to look at different "zones" while working.

Specific examples I had in mind were Kaizen-Style assembly workers and craftspeople who work on things fine/small enough to fit most of their workflow on a (large) desk.
