Early production runs of curved panels had higher-than-expected defect rates. The manufacturing process is still expensive and undergoing refinement, I expect monitors of this type to be *very* expensive for a while, factory retooling usually takes about 3 months or so to work out all the process bugs.
I want a curved 34 (or larger) quite badly, but I think I'll sit this one out for a little while.

Process patents and white papers describe the basic manufacturing process well enough. In general, a resin press/bake process is involved which mechanically displaces or chemically damages OLED molecules. So defective pixel rates tend to be high and product yields tend to be low. But big companies with big money are involved and compete aggressively to develop curve panel products to market. Traditional cut-down methods don't work well on curved panel geometries, the panels are just as expensive to make as their flat counterparts but defective segments cannot be resized and sold as smaller panels. So per-unit costs will tend to be very high until the manufacturing technology matures.
I'm a BMET (EET/CET) and the company I work for is always very interested in tracking the latest-greatest developments in certain mission-critical technologies like display panels and programmable microcontrollers and performance computing components. I can't claim to be an expert in the display panel manufacturing field and I don't have access to any "secret" proprietary information, but I do work for people who are experts and who are responsible for sourcing innovative/affordable components. PC gaming hardware is just a niche.
