cruiser647 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Saw it in John Lewis today. Bah. load of smoke, mirrors and bollox. The curve in the advert looks much more bendy than in real life! The actual picture wasn't any different neither. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdiesel Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) If you watch the advert on a curvy TV, does the TV on the advert look even curvier ?!? Edited May 27, 2014 by jimdiesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yes, it gives the stick thin girls some more curves. On the other hand, those with too many......................... oh dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I've played one one too - far to curved unless 1) you get a very big screen and 2) you're sat directly in front of it. Plus it takes up a lot more room that a flat model. It's another failed concept that won't be around next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza_g Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 What are the theoretical pluses to the tv?? Something around the viewing angle, I'm reserving judgment! http://gizmodo.com/why-curved-tvs-arent-just-another-gimmick-1502249372 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Bangle Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I think everywhere has done a review of it by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-bmw Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I could see it working on a mahoosive screen, aka the cinema, but on anything smaller I REALLY do not see it! They will have disappeared by next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torino101 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I'm far mor interested in UHD / 4K especially when it comes to having one as a computer monitor. Finally you can have a big screen AND huge desktop real estate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 MrsMe went to Currys at lunchtime and has told me how amazing these TV's look. I read a Which? report that seemed to suggest it was largely pointless buying one until there was sufficient programming for them. So no, I won't be starting a "Which TV for £5,000" thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
