Future displays might be curved to take advantage of your peripheral vision. Seems like a kind of cool idea, i'd like to try one out.

Starkweather has found that using a semicircular monitor three times as wide as the standard one can improve people's productivity, allowing them to take advantage of their peripheral vision and to spend less time opening and closing different windows.
But the main advantage is that users can have several applications open at once, both in the centre and on the sides of the monitor. Or they could even stretch an application across the entire screen. Five pages of a Word document, for example, could be viewed at once.
