Curved Monitors Built for PIP and PBP Multitasking
Searching for a curved monitor with PIP and PBP means you want to watch two sources at once on a screen that also wraps around your field of view. That's a narrower ask than it sounds. Plenty of curved monitors are built purely for gaming immersion and never mention split-screen input handling in their specs at all.
What actually separates these picks is whether picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture are confirmed features versus just implied by having multiple ports. A monitor with two HDMI inputs isn't automatically a PBP monitor. The curve radius matters too: tight, aggressive curves built for single-player gaming can distort straight lines and make side-by-side windows harder to read.
This list leans toward curved panels with real multitasking width or confirmed dual-source viewing, and it's ranked with the confirmed PIP/PBP model first.

A 32-inch curved VA panel with 100Hz refresh at a lower resolution tier, suited to anyone who wants curved-screen multitasking space without paying ultrawide prices. The tradeoff is FHD pixel density on a large curved panel.
- +32-inch curved screen suits movies and casual gaming
- +100Hz refresh rate smooths motion versus standard 60Hz
- +AMD FreeSync reduces screen tearing in supported games
- −FHD resolution on a 32-inch panel means lower pixel density

- +1500R curve adds immersion for gaming and movies
- +HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4 support modern consoles and PCs

What to look for
The single most important line item here is whether PIP or PBP is explicitly listed in the spec sheet, not just implied by input count. Manufacturers that support it almost always name it directly, because it's a selling point. If you don't see the terms PIP or PBP anywhere in the listing, assume the monitor doesn't do it, even if it has two HDMI ports.
After that, look at curve radius and resolution together. A 1500R or 1000R curve is tighter and reads better for single-source gaming than for two side-by-side windows, where you want a gentler curve or a flatter ultrawide layout. And if you plan to run two full-resolution sources at once, check that the panel's native resolution is high enough that each half still looks sharp — a 4K panel split into PBP gives you two solid 1080p-equivalent windows, while a 1080p panel split in half gets cramped fast.
