“Curved monitors are ergonomic because there is less cervical spine rotation needed to easily view the monitor,” explains Dr. That’s because a curved monitor bends the screen’s edges to provide a wider field of view. While my work wasn’t nearly that important, nor my mistakes would have been as monumental, it still would have been a lot easier to work with a curved monitor. Spending hours a day in the editing bay, a wide monitor was a must-have to ensure I didn’t miss any mistakes (like the coffee cup and plastic water bottles visible in season 8 of the fictional-but-presumably medieval Game of Thrones). In my former life, I was a media department manager and a video editor.
