The monitor is curved and the view is better

Speaking of PC monitors, many people may have no concept. Since the display entered the LCD era and the display changed from 4:3 to widescreen, the development of the PC has almost stalled, and people seem to have forgotten to care about the guy whom everyone is dealing with every day.

Of course, this is not a fact. The technology of liquid crystal display is still improving and the cost is falling. However, this gradual change does not leave a deep impression on people. People have used 3G to return to less than 2G eras. They haven't been able to use smart phones until they get back to the functional machine era. However, few people think that if they use a monitor, they cannot accept the original monitor.

A few years ago, with the sale of 3D films such as "Avatar", 3D display technology was once a hot pursuit of various manufacturers, but due to the different levels of 3D film production, the lack of film sources, and various 3D display technologies are not particularly perfect. , 3D displays did not bring about a big display revolution. Many people abandoned the pursuit of 3D after several early adopters.

Over the past two years, the display industry has begun to pursue the surface display technology. At the recent CES and Hannover IT exhibitions, various curved TVs and curved screens became the new darlings of display manufacturers. Surfaces can be a rare breakthrough in the display industry over the years.

On March 27th, at the 2015 Samsung Samsung Display New Tasting Ceremony held in Beijing, Samsung released the “Qujing” series of displays. Among them are the SE790C, the flagship representative of the highest curvature (3000R) on the market, SE510C, a common consumer product for the general public, and a variety of surface products with various appearance and performance such as SD590C, SD591C, and SE590C.

The previous display manufacturers mainly used surface technology for large-sized display devices such as televisions. Samsung has now applied surface display technology to a wide range of PC monitors. This has to be said to be a bold attempt.

The reason why the curved screen is sought after is because the curved screen can improve the entire user experience without special video source support. Even if the screen is ordinary, the curved screen can give people a sense of depth, especially When watching videos or games, it can bring people an immersive experience.

People's eyes are convex and radian. The traditional pure-screen display has a large gap between its edge and center point from the human eye, so that visual distortion occurs at the edges. Curvature of the curved screen can reduce this distortion caused by the distance, so that the glasses get a more comfortable picture.

At present, Samsung's curved screen has been the first to pass the surface display performance test of the China Electronics Industry Standardization Institute (CESI) of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. CESI is a professional and authoritative organization in China that formulates and manages technical standards for consumer electronics related countries and industries. In the surface performance test of this time, Samsung's curved screen was evaluated by CESI as: Compared with the flat display, the distortion rate was reduced by 73%, achieving a vivid and clear sense of perfect reproduction of the screen.

In the DOTA2 Asian Cup Invitational recently concluded, the curved screen provided by Samsung was used. The immersive experience of the curved screen helps the players to better watch the details of each event and fully respond to the play. As far as the author's own trial experience is concerned, under the same screen, curved screen does give people a different experience. The whole screen is more three-dimensional and the presence feeling is much stronger than ordinary flat screen.

Of course curved screen also has its own limitations. Because the curved screen is not simply simple to bend the traditional LCD screen, this involves the re-arrangement of various electronic components, LCD backlight adjustment and other important technologies, so the cost of curved screen is higher than the ordinary screen, Samsung is currently passing Technological innovation to solve this problem, in this year's launch of a series of curved surface products, compared with other manufacturers can see the obvious price advantage; In addition curved screen is not flat, in some of the requirements of the fit is not suitable for the scene use.

Curved screens are indeed a rare innovation in terms of visual effects. In the development of monitors for so many years, it can be said that it is a very amazing change. It is believed that more and more displays will become "curved" over time.
