Title: CURVED or Not CURVED?
Post by: t-bone on Jan 29, 2016 at 07:37 AM

I was shopping at Anson/s Makati yesterday, and I happened to try out their new Curved 4K OLED TV.

The picture was great but there was some irritating reflections that the curved TV came with.

What are your experiences with curved TVs?

I think I would go for the standard flat tv's.  Curve are only great when you have a room without windows just like in the movies. But you need at a 78 screen to enjoy the sweet spot. That's just my two cents worth Sir.

My experience with curved panels:

PROS
1. Fantastic CONTRAST, COLOR GAMUT and BLACK LEVELS.

2. Within an ideal viewing distance from the screen and slightly below eye-level placement, the sense of enhanced depth is really excellent.

3. In a semi-darkened room (I use soft-yellow glow lights installed in each corner of the room at the back of the TV), I don't have irritating reflections to deal with the curved VA-type panel's screen, which appears to me as neither matte nor glossy, more like an in-between.

CON
1. Very limited viewing angle versus HD flat panels that I used to own. If I sit within the "sweet spot" which is dead center everything is excellent but if move away from it slightly, the screen begins to pale considerably. As confirmed by some TV gurus, this problem doesn’t really become uncomfortable to watch until you get to around 35 degrees on either side of directly opposite the screen. (But then, I mutter: why would I even bother to sit off-center in my very own mancave? So that's where my LazyBoy stays, in that "sweet spot" and nowhere else. >:D)

I'd go for flat tv vs curved tv. Curved tv maganda lang kong ikaw lang mag-isa (ung viewing position mo nasa center ng screen). If more than 2 na ung nanunuod panget na ung field of view ng mga nanunuod na wala sa center line ng screen. Curved screen is effective for huge size screen (100 inches & above) like PJ.
