Pros and Cons of Curved Television:
Immersive Experience and Wider Field of View
Curved televisions promise to provide an “immersive” experience, and allow a wider field of view. The concave shape of curved televisions reduces reflections on the screen by eliminating the angle from which they are created. In fact, the curve of these televisions helps eliminate the unintended “foreshortening” that viewers experience when sitting on one side of the unit. To put it in simpler words, the curve equalizes images displayed on the far side of the screen that otherwise would look inexplicably small compared to those displayed on the near side of screen.
Reduces Visual Geometric Distortion
Research points out that the curve of screen keeps the display at a uniform distance from the viewer’s eyes if s/he sits centrally. This helps in reducing the visual geometric distortions common in flat screen televisions, whose sides of the screen are further from the viewer than the center of the screen. Hence, a curved screen tracks the natural curve of the viewer’s sight, which definitely provides a better experience than flat screen TVs.

However, Not Suitable for all Living Rooms
Curved screen televisions, therefore, are designed to bring a viewing experience similar to that of a movie hall to your home. However, not all of us may have a sprawling living room suitable to experience the pleasure of watching programs on curved screens. Images appear a little distorted on curved screens beyond a certain viewing point. When watching a program on a curved television, the person sitting on the left corner in a smaller room will not be able to properly view the far left side of the screen and vice-versa. This is a flip side of the technology and may hamper the growth of the curved televisions market in the near future.
