Curved monitors - fad or useful?

[Bikerjon]

Just wondering about these curved monitors that seem to be growing in popularity. For extra large displays (over 27") then I can how they might be useful but I've never actually used one myself. Anyone here bought one? Are they good?

I'm currently using an Apple 30" cinema display which is good but I think maybe reaching it's end of life. I'm thinking I should either get two 24" Dell ultrasharps or one big curved screen. I think I'd prefer one screen if possible. Usage is general purpose with a little bit of photo editing in lightroom - but nothing too serious.

Thanks for the comments. I hadn't considered how the curved screen might affect photo editing! They are probably very good for games though.
