curved TV

curved TV

An HDTV set with a slightly curved screen. Curved TVs are touted to be more "immersive" for the viewer, although this is debated. Emerging in the 2013 time frame, within two years, more than two dozen 4K TVs were offered by Samsung. The curvature does seem to minimize stray reflections in the room; however, time will tell if this architecture becomes the norm, especially because the TV cannot fit flat against a wall. Contrast with flat TV.
