Call me stupid, but why would you want your TV curved? Isn't that like going back to the old crappy tubes?

In this particular instance, you prolly wouldn't, as ISTM that the only people who'd get a good view would be those sitting at the focus of the curve. Everyone else'd get a distorted/truncated image.
OK for a single person or possibly a cosy couple.
It might have escaped your attention, but concave is not the same as convex.
It still ain't flat. Might be good for someone sat in front of the telly, but normally there are quite a few people in the living room, which means that most of you will be seeing one end of the curved TV at a hell of an angle.
If I'm sat that close to someone I'm not interested in what's on the telly.
Its a bit like the old projector tvs. I have no idea, but I guess it depends on whether the images are manipulated to make things still look straight, in which case it can seem to have more depth, nuch like the very curved cinerama of the past. Brian
Distorts the image the other way then.
But we have 3D TV.
there are idiot customers to be fished. In fact that's the reason for most ads.
It's the whole reason Apple exists. Pure advertising.
What is care22? Apart from a dentist's chair that is.
You apparently also haven't noticed that the curved screen models are large - 40 to 70+ inches. So there is usually plenty of opportunity for several people to have acceptable viewing positions. Sort-of like cinema curved screens - they too allowed more than one person to watch at the same time.
Most people who wished to understand what curved screens are like for viewing would takes themselves off to a shop which has some operating on display.
Curved TVs have only a slight curve, hardly seems worthwhile.
Well for one thing, they've solved the problem of wall mounted TV's, for people living in converted lighthouses and windmills.

Apple phones are the shittiest ones about.
I don't do shops.
I bet it makes them delaminate quicker too.

And maybe Oast Houses.
Ah, but nobody watched it so the bbc abandonned it. Brian
