I like my curved ultra-wide. I didn't at first, but my brain has very noticeably adapted to where curved things on it appear straight just fine. I noticed this when I went back to the office after a few weeks absence, where I have a regular flat pancake screen in 16:9, and straight text looked CURVED in the opposite direction!

Brains are weird.

I got a curved 5k2k lg display for games, and every time I switch to work monitor (5k regular flat lg), it feels like I'm looking at an old CRT that's bulging out at me. Such a strange sensation. I do like the curved display a lot however.

Wow, that's a great insight and honestly a great point for not having one. At least till they get more popular.

To be fair, this is a short lived effect immediately after transition. Goes away in 2 minutes.

I have a curved monitor on my regular desk, and a flat panel on my treadmill desk. Switching between the two takes a few minutes of adjustment for things to look right.

I had a similar peculiarity with eyeglasses. I'd always had great vision, but middle age recently hit me like a truck, and my eyes have started to go. I got a prescription, and there was a difference between the two eyes. For the first few days, everything looked misshapen, larger on one side than the other, until my brain compensated. Most curious.

I've noticed the same when I tried to replace my ultrawide 34" with a Dell U3225QE for my home office the other day. I really wanted to like the Dell since I love the specs, but my head would hurt from the perceived bulge in the middle of the screen, where the curve used to sit farthest before. Stupid brains, really.

I use a 49” LG ultrawide (5120 X 1440).

It’s curved, and I have no issues at all with it.

I thought I would, at first, but it’s been fine.

But it’s also only curved horizontally. Not sure how it would be, if it were square.
