Curved tv screens apparently fit the curve of your eyeball, giving a better feel of depth or some other shit.I would LOVE a 4k curved screen but I assume it would cost about 5 grand.
Technology does seem to be wanting us to sit watching the box, eating loads and becoming a fat whale. Far cry from the hunter-gatherers we are designed to be.

Wouldnt that only work if the screen was a parabola, otherwise you would get different angles of refraction so the image would distort...

I like the idea that you have to sit in exactly the right place to watch it, none of this having mates over and bringing in all the extra chairs.(

or some other shitExactly. I can understand the military application of such, perhaps, but entertainment-wise - it all seems a bit overkill (ironically).
I mean - a video's a video. Clear, in colour, on a big enough screen is great. I don't see how a curved screen is really going to make any difference.
Mind - our telly's 20 years old and showing no signs of packing up, so I don't see why I'm so bothered.
I just get a distinct feeling that people are employed to create problems in order to sell us shit to solve them. No one knew they needed music while walking along until the walkman was invented.
I'm sorry - I appear to be taking the internet seriously. I still like breasts, though.

Plus also you get more floorspace per screen size because it's bent (but naturally the depth increases).Where 'curved' comes into its own is with portable devices, imagine being able to 'fold' your phone in half, or having the sides as part of the screen for other functions (ie, in a 'closed' state, you can still recieve notifications on the side).
Flexable OLEDs doesn't always mean Bendable, but it does mean that you can have other shapes rather than flat rectangles.
