I have used a curved screen and I have used flat screens as
monitors for doing programming and monitoring of LPARs (VM and or
z/OS). Curved was something over 30" and flat was a 43" 4K monitor.
The curved screen, if you are in the middle, you can just use
your eyes to look left or right, the characters will the same to
you. On a flat screen you may need to move a bit toward what you
are trying to see for it to be in correct focus (not closer to
the screen but to the left or right towards the area having the
data you want to look at. The further you get from a flat screen
the less of a problem this is in my experience.
To make my point, if you have three or more monitors, side by
side, you will slightly turn the outer ones towards you,
effecting to some small degree, a curved screen. So try it with 3
monitors of very similar or same geometry. Do you put them side
by side pointing straight ahead, or do you take the left and
right ones and turn them slightly towards you?
The larger the viewing area, the more the curved screen works for
you. So my opinion is, if you gots the $$$ get the curved screen.

I still believe that standing up for the truth of God is the greatest thing
in the world. This is the end (purpose) of life. The end of life is not to
be happy. The end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. The end
of life is to do the will of God, come what may. -Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have not used that specific monitor, but I do use a curved monitor. Love
it! For me, much better than a flat monitor. I was hooked after I tried the
first one (a Samsung).
