As I wait to jump on a black friday deal for a Sony 900e ive noticed retailers are trying to unload curved tvs like they were ticking time bombs. Dont know who ever thought these would be popular in the first place.
Actually, the larger the screen, the more beneficial a curved screen is. I mean, a monitor works because you are right in front of it. A small TV from across the room does not work at all. Anything curved that is under 65"diagonal is not as beneficial. Curved projection screens actually make the most sense, though. They are even more useful with ultra-wide screens.Yes. The concept works for desktop monitors but not large screen tvs.
Yes. The concept works for desktop monitors but not large screen tvs.
I can see desktop monitors being more useful as you're sitting 2 ft from it and it gives a widescreen kind of display. For curved TVs though, the size of the screen is basically no different than a similarly sized tv and you're also sitting 10 ft away.
Someone explain this to me. Why am I having trouble understanding?
Isn't it obviously based on a field of view ratio? As in, if you're sitting 2 ft away from a 24 inch curved monitor, it would be the same as sitting 4ft away from a 48 inch curved TV screen.
For a monitor you're always going to be centered on screen. Unless you live alone thats not going to be the case for a tv. For someone sitting to the left of center, the angle viewing the left side of tv will be made worse due to curve. Athough the opposite could be said for someone left of center viewing the right side.
I believe so. But from what Ive read the effects are very minimal even at the sweet spot.So they would be good for gaming TV's where you know you're going to be the main user right?
My OLED has a curved screen, it’s so slight though I don’t notice it.
Those things look totally stupid when flat, imo.
Good one, although some guys I know really dig that.They say that about women, too.
