I saw you guys talked a lot about this OLED tv. So I went to look for a few TVs for my new house. I am not so crazy about tv I just need to buy some to watch cable. The Samsung OLED 65” with a soundbar will do for me. They have in flat screen and curve screen. I don’t know what to pick. May I ask what’s the pros and cons of flat vs. curve? Is curve just a fad?
"But with the 65-inch and smaller sets we've had in the labs, we haven't seen any noticeable benefits. And there are a few drawbacks. For one, curved screens are more expensive to produce, so you'll pay a decent amount more than you would for a comparably sized flat-screen sibling. And with the LCD-based UHD and 1080p TVs, which use LED backlights, the curved shape actually makes it harder to spread light evenly across the panel, which could affect brightness uniformity. And for those viewing the TV at an angle, the curved screen can introduce some subtle geometric distortion of the image, which can result in eye fatigue as your brain tries to compensate for the effect.
After spending time with a few of these TVs, our take is that curved screens are more an aesthetic statement than a real improvement in the TV-watching experience. If you find the curved shape appealing and don't mind paying a premium for a set that will admittedly stand out from most other models, by all means go for it.
But if your goal is heightening the immersive viewing experience, our advice is to use that extra money to buy an even bigger flat-screen model, and spring for a sound bar or other outboard audio system that can sonically do it justice."
