It's interesting how quickly flat screens turning into a selling point over curved. It's definitely a conflict between usability and design aesthetic.

Curved screens were a nice marketing wank to sell a few newer models but there are few advantages to them and some significant disadvantages. I'm sure most people still buy the marketing though since I have to point out the issues for them to people to notice them. 😁

They did look nice when they first came onto the market. The challenge is that they're just not great to use or live with!

Funnily enough Motorola has launched an Edge series with curved screens.
