Curved is a gimmick, it will diminish peripheral viewing. Good on your far side, but bad on your close side. 4k has some programming on satellite...sets have a built-in hard drive just for the demo!


By the time I'm ready to buy, 4k will be far more common. Remember when
networks only broadcast in color in the evening?

The curve is supposed to enhance peripheral viewing. I've not done any
serious viewing yet. The demo sure looks good though.
