I measured my desk from the left of the inside (not the outside) to the right side and it was 27 inches.
Will this fit on my desk?

Most websites will have that information; google your model and you should find dimensions, particularly if you can find the manufacturer. From your screen size and resolution I can offer an approximation:

The area of the screen itself is 23.5"x13.2" (59.8cmx33.6). For a typical bezel, I would add probably..... 0.5" on all sides or 1.257cm. This would be for a flat screen model - yours is curved, so its width would be reduced by a portion.

So that would be a no?

Well, basic mathematics suggests to me that 23.5" + 1" for bezels is < 27", but it is just an approximation for a flatscreen. Your monitor is curved, ergo, it should take even less horizontal space.

As it stands, I don't think you'll have issues with fitting it on your desk. I would still suggest going to the manufacturer website and looking at their specifications - almost all of them will tell you the width and height of the monitor.

Edit: Sorry, I realized my ellipsis merged in with the decimal. Not 5" on all sides... 0.5" on all sides. Sorry about that.

Oh ok now the only issue left is how close or far do I need to sit. I sit right close to the desk in order for me tok use it. I don't wanna damage my eyes whatsoever.

You don't damage your eyes by sitting close to something. You damage them by staring at an object at the same distance for long periods of time.

REALLY??? I thought your eye vision gets damaged or ruined if you sit too close to a TV or a PC monitor. And Another thing, about fitting it, I was thinking about pushing the monitor further into the desk. I don't have to pull it closer outside of it since it is curved do I?

It's an old myth along with sitting too close to a tv. For my previous statement, I should actually correct it, staring at it for long periods doesn't damage it as the effects are temporary. You can put the monitor anywhere you want.

Oh ok. I did not know that. I heard that statement in my life and I didn't know it was temporary. Thank s for heads up.

1. Parents like it b/c it keeps the kids from playing the nintendos as easily
2. No clinical proof has been established. Best practice however is to focus on a distant object for a while every 20 or 30 minutes.
3. Eyestrain can increase with proximity due to blockier pixels and a less smooth image - but at 2K this is not a problem really for a monitor positioned on a desk.

You want the monitor far enough away that you can see the whole screen (most of it will be in peripheral vision) but close enough where the picture is still clear and not hazy from pixelation.

So depending on your specific eyesight, it's generally about arms length or maybe slightly more or less.

 

[XxDarkus101Xx]

Since its curved I should have a problem fitting it in?

 

[Karadjgne]

Nope. Curved just means it's overall depth is greater than a flat-screen,

 

[XxDarkus101Xx]

Ok got it . I have never worked with a curved screen before. Is it better than a flat screen for gaming? And that's my final question.

 

[Karadjgne]

Too personal to answer. Some prefer the look, especially with larger screens, it feels more immersive. Does take a minute to get used to it though. Personally I prefer the smaller flat-screen, 24" is perfect, because I prefer to see the whole screen. I happen to have a rather narrow focus angle and constant motion of head/eyes to see things on the larger screens gets irritating after a while. For me.

Only you can decide what you like.

Ok I think got it thanks for the help.
