I recently bought a curved Samsung monitor model C24F390FHE with a 19 degree curve. They usually state how for you have to sit away from a curved screen with specs like 1800r meaning you have to sit 1800mm away from the screen. I can't find the r spec for this monitor, Does anyone have an idea how far is the optimal viewing distance for a 19 degree monitor?

Which doesn't mean you should actuall sit 1.8 meters from it. At that distance the dpi/degree fov would be to heigh meaning you won't be able to discern text or small objects/ your resolution would be uneffectively high.

For 1500R, 1800R, 1900R, 2300R, and 3800R ultrawide monitors larger than 30 inches, it’s best to sit around two to four feet away from the screen for the best experience. The sharper the curve, the closer you need to be if you want a truly immersive experience, most especially for gaming. If you are going to use your display primarily for gaming and prefer to sit more than five feet away from the screen (i.e. console gaming distance), then you’ll be better off with a large, non-curved monitor.
