  Curved is a gimmick right? The pixels in the middle are compressed? That's what would normally happen if you bend a plank of wood. But in any case, I don't see the benefits of curving a screen.

    I don't know for sure but I dont think they make a flat panel and then bend it like your wood example and I doubt the pixels are compressed as that would distort the image I think. Imo the pixels towards the centre would just be mostly flat and eventually start angling/curving with the screen. I wouldn't call it a gimmick, as it does bring good benefits to certain games like sim racers I believe. But then again, I don't think there are any high refresh rate monitors here so a sim racer might want to look elsewhere to be competitive. I think MSI have some high refresh curved monitors in their lineup.

      So what happens in the case of those curved screens that can bend and straighten? I recall Samsung working on a screen that could toggle. I don't know if it was ever released.

      Rumor has it, they intend to do that with their next flagship smartphone also. In which case, the compression is going to be a real thing. The pixels in the middle would be smaller than the ones at the sides.

    I'd say it's a gimmick in that it doesn't really add to anything to my enjoyment. But certainly not for the reason you're suggesting.

    If anything, the bend should make what it is you're looking at more linear (at least for larger monitors)

    I really don't see how that analogy works to explain how your eyes work when looking at a plank?

    If you were to get a ruler, and measure the exact same length in all directions, it would look something like a cone. The curve is supposed to try and cater to that so that what you're seeing is as equal in length as possible

      The curve would need to be much bigger for that to be the case.

      I don't buy it. They dont make cinema screens curved. Flat gives you the same image but uniform and no distortion.

      VR headsets are not curved either which at this distance would be even more ideal for curving around your face.

      Btw, making it curved introduces a sweet spot. It sucks if you're sharing the TV for people are sitting off center. The experience is only optimised for the person in the direct center.

      The plank example is not a point of comparison. When you bend something flat, one side of it is undergoing compression, while the other side of it is undergoing tension. This theoretically would distort the image. Though they could have designed the pixels for after the curve. Which would mean that if you flattened it, the center pixels are bigger than the side pixels. I'd heard about a TV that could change shape but don't know if it ever released in the market.

        What are you basing this of? My explanation is oversimplifying things, and i can see how you might think that it needs to be a lot more aggressive if you had 1 eye, but most people have 2 eyes

        Btw, making it curved introduces a sweet spot. It sucks if you're sharing the TV for people are sitting off center. The experience is only optimised for the person in the direct center.

        This isn't a TV… It's a monitor and huge chunk of the time people don't share monitors. But if you are going to use any of these monitors as a tv, then fair point. Side note, depending on how aggressive the curve is, the "sweet spot" can actually be pretty wide.

        The plank example is not a point of comparison. When you bend something flat, one side of it is undergoing compression, while the other side of it is undergoing tension.

        Yup, bending a plank changes it's shape

        If your point of comparison and what you consider "normal" is a flat screen, then yup it is distorted compared to a flat screen.

        When you view a flat screen, especially if you are too close, it's already distorted because the distance of each pixels aren't equal distance from your eyes. I.e. pixels closer to the screen would be viewed as closer together, and pixels to the edge are viewed further apart from each other. Curved screen is supposed to help with that, but certainly not perfectly and probably more of a marketing point

          @Butt Scratcher: I agree with Buttscratcher, he makes more logical sense. To sum it up, even though pixels may be different distances apart from each other or 'compressed', it doesn't look distorted because your eyes and your viewing angle make up for it. It seems like curved panels would be better for clearer peripheral vision imo.

    Prices have snapped back to MSRP… not sure this is really a deal anymore.

    Cheers though! :)
