TVs with a curved screen - this is a new technology that allows you to demonstrate a more contrast and volumetric picture. True, for a full-fledged use of technology, the TV does not fit any diagonal.

Advantages and disadvantages of a curved TV?.

Curved televisions are no longer a novelty, but they are still not very popular due to the high cost. In addition, they cause controversy and convenience of their use. What is a curved screen, what are the advantages and disadvantages?.

What is special about TVs with a curved screen?.

Similar televisions brand Samsung or any other brand began to appear on the market in the past few years. Strictly speaking, old CRT TVs also had a curved screen. Of course, modern manufacturers are not occupied with the restoration of old technologies. If previously the curved screen of the TV curved away from the viewer, now it is made concave, like a screen in a planetarium. What for? First of all, it looks new. This TV will decorate any living room. The TV with the concave screen becomes a part of the "home theater", providing, on assurances of manufacturers, more comfortable viewing of films.

Advantages of the technology With the advent of TVs with a curved screen are obliged to race manufacturers for increasing the diagonal of the device. At some point, the TVs became too large - the viewers' eyes stopped capturing what was happening in different parts of the screen. Then the manufacturers simply decided to bend the display and noticed a number of advantages of this solution:.

immersion effect. If you have all your life looked at a flat image, a curved screen will "push" the picture a little forward, allowing you to work peripheral vision and creating an effect of immersion in what is happening;.

depth effect. When watching a TV with a curved screen, an additional image volume is created. The effect is enhanced by the fact that the TV adjusts the contrast of various parts of the image - so the picture seems deeper;.

contrast enhancement. Curved screens are more contrasted than flat ones in 1,5-1,8 times.

There is a theory according to which the curved image of the screen is more naturally perceived by the rounded shape of the pupil. This effect is used by cinemas, in which screens are also curved. However, in order to experience this effect, you need a really big screen - from 70 inches.

Disadvantages of curved screens If you are already in a hurry to buy a TV with a curved screen, then do not forget to familiarize yourself with their shortcomings:.

Curved screen is a crooked mirror. If the light source is located directly in front of the reflecting surface, it will distort and stretch the reflection along the wide side. Before buying, think about how to arrange the screen for artificial light sources and windows;.

other viewing angles. Manufacturers of TVs with a curved screen like Samsung warn: you will see a quality picture, while looking at it at an angle of at least 35 degrees, that is, while you are in front of the screen. If you moved to the edge of the view, the picture will be distorted: the edge close to the viewer will appear shortened, compared to the opposite side;.

size matters. Curved televisions are necessarily big TVs. There's no point buying a 55-inch TV with a concave screen. But at 100 inches his dignity will be maximum. In addition, a large screen can accommodate many viewers. However, to see all the advantages of a "concave" picture, you will also need a large enough living room;.

complexity of installation. On a conventional stand, the curved TV looks frankly bad, since its rear end is always noticeable. Even worse is the situation with the wall mount. The only good option is a special niche that will hide the case of the device and not spoil the design of the room.

But the main disadvantage of TVs with a curved screen is the price. These models are complex in manufacturing, which is reflected in their cost. However, cheaper and better technology is only a matter of time.

Do I need to buy a TV with a curved screen? Yes, if you can place in your home a model with a large diagonal, properly fit it into the interior, correctly place the lights and set a comfortable place to view. Of course, these models require a special approach.
