Curvion: This secondary 6.5-inch AMOLED display for gaming PCs is curved and versatile

The Curvion is now available via a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. In general, crowdfunding campaigns carry significant financial risks, and this campaign has been created by a basically unknown company. Therefore, it’s possible that backers lose their money. Anyhow, a contribution of $69 plus shipping is required in order to reserve a unit of this secondary display.

Unusual shape

What sets the Curvion apart from many other auxiliary displays is the curved panel. This allows image content to appear "around the corner", so to speak. Whether this shape actually offers any practical advantages probably depends on the specific use case. When mounted inside a gaming PC case, the display could be wrapped around a cooler or other components, for instance. The gadget can also be attached via magnet.

Colorful AMOLED panel

The Curvion can be connected via USB, but the manufacturer does not use a USB data connection. Instead, computers should recognize the Curvion as a regular display, so no dedicated software is needed. The secondary display is equipped with a 6.5-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of 1080 x 2440 pixels. The manufacturer further specifies a brightness of 500 nits, NTSC color space coverage of 99% and response time of 2ms.
