I've grown attached to my 32 inch flat screens on the CAD CAM machine,
but I no longer have an account with the only distributor for that brand.

I am in the process of setting up a newer, faster, meaner CAD CAM
computer. Mostly to edit 8K 360 video, and run my 3D optical scanner,
but faster and more cores (i9 - 16 cores and 24 threads) will also help
with code generation and cut simulations.

I plan to keep this older early i7 (4 core 8 thread) up and running so I
can play online, mess with old files, and stream will code is generating
and simulations are rendering.

I've gotten spoiled with multi monitors of course, and I don't want have
less than 2 on either machine. I've found a decent deal on a couple new
32 inch, but they are curved. I don't know if I'll like doing CAD on a
curved monitor. I think they are more intended for wide screen video,
and gaming, but the price is tempting.

Are any of you guys using curved monitors? Do you do CAD on them? Do
you like them for it?

Of course I could throw these flat screens on the new computer, and get
the curved monitors for this one, but I can see having old CAD models up
on this old machine at the same time. Or I could just pay a few extra
bucks and get a couple more 32 inch flat screens.

Sorry, the large monitors at school where I'm learning Onshape are flat. My HDTV+monitor at home is 22".

While watching the teacher demonstrate something I noticed that the perspective view looks wrong if I'm not centered on the screen.

I just read an article where a model maker converted the components of his
3D sketch to 2D for manual machining. When I learned paper drafting the undimensioned isometric view was added only to clear up confusion.

After wasting way to much time thinking about it and delaying going
fully operation with the new more powerful PC by at least two days, I
just paid a little more and ordered a couple 32inch flat panels.
