Anyone have real life experience with one of the curved Hd TVs? Preferably Samsung. Is it really a difference in the viewing or just a cool marketing gimmick? Let’s hear it.
I don’t know much about the curved TVs but I got a curved monitor for my computer at work and told them to take it back. I didn’t like it at all. 32” screen.
Bone....
Don’t waste your money.
marketing gimic. buddy of mine has one and looks fine but no better than my flat of same dimension
I have a samsung curved that we bought in 2014. I like the curve aspect..really great picture. I’ll never buy anything from Samsung again though. I’ve owned four Samsung TVs, and their smart tv apps are limited. About 3 years in, every Samsung TV I’ve had starts acting weird and f’n up. It’ll be intermittent at first and the problems will increase in frequency just enough to piss you off but not enough to go and buy a new TV. Bought a samsung laptop 2 years ago. Great reviews. I need a backlit keyboard in a big way and it was my first requirement when I went shopping. One update in and the backlit keyboard feature no longer was compatible with the windows operating system. It’ll occasionally light up for 2 seconds after a new upgrade then out again. Geek squad could not fix it. Damn glitchy foreign shit! Now my BP is up. Ok...sorry...if you can find a curve that’s not a samsung, go for it if it’s not a terribly expensive upgrade from flat.

WWD you've just had bad luck. Samsung is all I'll own. I've got one going on 11ish years now.
May be. Aside from the glitchiness, I have loved the pictures. This computer thing is just pissing me off to no end though. How the &^*% do I have a &^%&*&^ computer that has a light under the *&^%^&* keys and no-one can figure out how to turn them on?!?!? Seriously, that would be like me upgrading my trucks navigation/on-board computer system and having my headlights stop working...AND the dealership telling me "oh well, the upgrade isn't compatible so there's nothing that can be done...get a Q-beam." Shit, BP up again!

I have only Samsung TVs and it's all I ever buy. I have one going on seven years and also have a curved one. It is a bit of a gimmick but it does seem to stop some glare from the side but beyond that, I can't tell a difference.
Skip curved and go oled
Also, make sure you go with OLED versus QLED.

Vizio. Samsung is for wusses
Juice ain't worth the squeeze. Samsung seems to be closing out all their curves and moving away from it. Don't think it took like they had hoped. When we were looking to upgrade from our 7+ year Samsung 55" to a 70" or so. Found some deals on the curved ones and said no thanks...
Ended up with standard, flat Samsung 70" for ~$700 I think.

Samsung’s seem to be great TVs. Although they don’t response well to an arrow being shot into the screen.
I have a samsung curve. It’s great if you have sitting positions that are located at an angle to the tv. The curve is worth it for my room but if most of your seating positions are straight in front of tv I don’t see a reason for owning a curve.
As stated above OLED and QLED TVs are better.
