HP embraces the curved computer screen at CES 2017

HP is not afraid to put a curve on it. At CES 2017 it debuted two new high-end, curved displays, including an all-in-one computer and a gaming monitor.
HP Envy Curved AIO 34
The HP Envy Curved AIO 34 is an ultra-wide, 34-inch all-in-one computer (there's also a similar 27-inch model available) with a special design and pricing starting at $1,729. (UK and AU pricing converts to £1,729 AU$2,389, respectively
Not only is the screen elegantly curved, the computer and its B&O speakers are built into the dock, allowing for an impressively thin display (to match its sleek and skinny bezels, I assume).
Additionally, it has a radial button on the dock to easily turn the volume up and down, and tucked inside of the display there's a built-in pop-up camera that you can easily hide if you have any privacy concerns.
It's expected to go on sale on HP's website on January 11 and at select retailers on February 26, 2017.
