AW2721D, negative curve to screen?
I just received and setup my new AW2721D and I'm not sure if my eyes are playing a trick on me because I'm coming from a curved ultrawide monitor.
But it appears that this monitor has a bit of a negative curve to it. As in the outside of the screen wraps away from you. Is this normal, are my eyes playing a trick on me, or is this monitor possibly damaged?
Any insight is greatly appreciated!

The online AW2721D User's Guide shows us this top view. The front looks straight and the rear is curved.

I've just set mine up having come from Samsung 27" curved screen and thought the exact same thing - its as if the screen is curving up on the edges ever so slightly. I've even measured a couple of points and they measure the same so I'm thinking it's adjusting from moving away from a curved screen.
How is it for you now?

It's still the same for me, granted I have a 1800R 35" AOC mounted on the wall above it, so that feeling may never go away. I've grown to live with it, for this is the most amazing monitor I've ever had the pleasure of using.

same thing for me, coming from a 27" curved samsung to a 27" flat dell/alienware, feels like the edges curve away from me.
my second screen was not curved and never felt like this when looking at that screen so not sure it is my eyes being used to curved screens. weird.
