Uh, nope. Idea is a more consistent viewing angle across the screen.

Curved TVs are a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Might make a tiny bit of sense as a computer monitor, but in a living room, not so much.

Right. They don't need to be curved. A flat screen is just fine, and OP has a good point. They are just coming up with crazy shyt to sell more stuff.
Think about it -- even these huge screens at movies are not curved as far as I know. |

I wouldn't want a curved TV screen.
My 34" curved computer monitor is freaking awesome though. |

Curved screens are just bc they have the tech to do it. Flat makes way more sense from a viewing experience.
It's a gimmick to sell to the peeps that gotta have the 'new shiny' |

And the glare.....oh God the glare. I try to steer clients away from curved tvs. Have grudgingly provided 2-3 of them over the past few years. Currently working on a project where the cabinet is being built to match the arc of the display. Asthetically speaking it will probably look awesome, but meh from a performance point of view. IMO, curved tvs will quietly go away soon. |

Just got our first curved TV, a Samsung 50" Smart 4K TV in January. I will not be watching any other TV in my house ever again.
No camera on this unit, turned off the voice recognition for added protection. Built in internet browser works fine to surf ARFCOM at night with the blueooth pointer remote. Than means it works from under the covers in the winter LOL. Apps like Pluto, Crackle, Hulu, Netflix and the ever important for gun vids Youtube work excellent. It can do more but thats all I need. When viewing 4k content the picture is like nothing I have ever seen. If it was curved the other way I don't think I would want it. |

distance to the center of a regular TV is shorter than to the edges.
It is curved the correct way. |

But they're not the new hotness and curved TVs going out with non-4K TVs. |

A friend has one, and the first thing that occurred to me was that it should be curved the other way. Think about it - the outer edges are curved IN, so that NARROWS the field of view. If the screen were curved the other way - the outer edges curved back - it would WIDEN the field of view. I laugh at your high-dollar curved TV's. That's all. The apparent viewing area of the screen - assuming it's curved the same amount in both cases - is smaller when it's curved away from you for reasons of linear perspective. It's also smaller than a flat screen of the same size. Additionally, you're going to get even more distortion than a flat screen Maybe we should turn this thread into one of those "I ain't ever gonna use math/geometry in everyday life" threads.

GF gave me a Samsung 9500. While there are many features I'm impressed with, I think the curved screen is a gimmick insofar as there isn't any noticeable difference on center, or high off bore sight in my living room. Seems the same as my last flat screen

In reality, with a family and multiple people watching, it may be better for 1 or 2 and worse for others. For a lone dude with an ideal setup, a little better. |

I think that the curve solves some of the light problems people have with big screen TVs and bright open windows. I had to turn my flat screen a bit away from my sliding glass door. It can get reflection/washed out when it's noon to 3 pm.
