How do you like it? Also, any chance you do any photo editing on it? On Thursday I almost bought a Dell U3417W[0] but I chickened at the last minute because I haven't been able to find much information on curved monitors and photo editing. Some people claim it's an issue, others claim that it's a fine and that it doesn't skew images. The other one that I was looking at was the LG-34UC98-W (because Thunderbolt 2.0) but I read several reviews mentioning severe ghosting issues.

It's a good monitor, although it's not as bright as the Apple Cinema Display (which I have at home). I occasionally find myself wanting to increase the brightness when the room itself is bright. I don't do photo editing on it, and I doubt that the curvature (which is very slight and almost unnoticeeable) is a problem; but I imagine the lack of brightness might be. The width provides almost no utility for development (for me); I keep windows centered and only very rarely do I put stuff in the periphery. In apps like Photoshop, Illustrator and Lightroom do I find that there's a large benefit. With Chrome it's also wide enough that you can keep the browser side by side with the dev tools, which is nice. I'd much rather have a "Retina Display" monitor. The Dell 5K looks great.
