THE CURVED TELEVISION
My uncle just only bought the curve television and the experience is marvelous. So I plan to come up with this article. My uncle bought LED H8000 Series Curved Smart TV Samsung. Now Samsung really come up with an innovative idea to create such a smart TV so that their product still rock the market. In fast changing world, not only our life changing faster but then the gadgets even changing faster then we even can imaging. So I think this article we be interesting..
Although the Curved Smart TV become mainstream.The curved TV also got pros and cons as well. Now come to the topic. Should you buy one?
Now we going to core of this article.
THE PROS
1.You feel more immersed in what you watching
When you look at the real world you don’t perceive it as just a flat ‘screen’. The rounded nature of your eyeballs gives you peripheral vision too, so that you’re aware of the world extending around you to your sides. By curving the edges of their pictures toward you, curved TVs try to replicate this sense of a world to the side of as well as in front of you, making you feel more immersed in what you’re watching.
2. You feel like you’re experiencing a wider field of view
By curving the edges of their pictures gently forward, curved TVs appear to fill more of your field of view than flat ones – so long as you’re sat in roughly the right position, at any rate.
3. You see more sharpness at the edges of the image
Because curved screens track the natural shape of your eyes better than flat ones, their images look slightly sharper at their edges. It’s this phenomenon that leads to many commercial cinemas using curved screens, since the bigger the screen the more likely your eyes are to perceive a reduction in clarity at the edges if that screen is flat. With this in mind, though, I’d say this sharpness point only applies to very large TVs of 70 inches and more.
4. You feel like pictures have more depth
The first thing many people say when they first try out a curved TV is that the picture feels 3D. This is because the curved screen makes the image exist on multiple depth planes – with a physical foreground and background – like a 3D image (or the world around us, come to that). So important is this depth attribute that Samsung uses processing on its curved TVs to make images marry up more effectively with the curved nature of the screen.
5. You can enjoy a richer contrast performance
Although I haven’t yet seen a wide enough variety of curved TVs to feel confident about confirming this point, the argument goes that since curved screens focus their light towards your seating position rather than scattering it around a wider area like flat TVs do, they can deliver almost twice as much perceived contrast.
6. You can watch pictures from a wider viewing angle
You probably think I’ve lost the plot with this one. Especially as viewing angle issues also appear in the Cons section of this article! But here’s the thing. As anyone who’s had to watch a normal LCD TV from the down the sides will know, colours lose saturation and contrast reduces massively when you’re not sat directly opposite the screen. Since curved TVs turn the edges of their images towards off-axis viewing positions, though, the usual colour and contrast reductions associated with such viewing positions are greatly reduced.
THE CONS
1. You see geometry issues when watching from the sides
Let’s start with the counter-argument to the sixth ‘Pro’ point. For if you sit at an angle of more than around 30-35 degrees while watching a curved TV, the picture’s shape starts to look quite unnatural, especially in the way the near side of the picture looks narrower than the far side. Sit at a really wide angle and you could even lose the near side of the picture altogether as the screen’s edge curls round in front of the image.
2. You need to sit in the right place to appreciate curved TVs’ advantages
As noted in a couple of our Pro points, many of the perceived advantages of curved TV screens only make themselves felt if you’re sat in a ‘sweet spot’ directly opposite the screen and closer to the screen than you’d usually sit with an equivalent-sized flat TV. To be fair, the size of the ideal viewing space for a curved TV is directly proportional to the screen size you’ve got, so it’s less of a problem with a very large screen. The potential ideal viewing area is also expanded by using a gentler degree of curvature, like that used on Sony’s new curved TVs. But with most of the curved TVs out there now, trying to fit a whole family into the viewing sweet spot may not always be practical. Or comfortable!
3. You can feel more aware of onscreen reflections with curved TVs
For me this is the single biggest problem with the current crop of curved TVs. If you have any bright light source opposite a curved screen – a window, a light fitting, a bright piece of furniture etc – then you don’t just see this light source reflected on your screen normally like you would on a flat TV. Instead the curve distorts the reflection across a much larger section of the screen, making it much more likely to disrupt your viewing. With this in mind, you should be very careful with where you position a curved TV in your room, and try and use it in as dark a situation as possible when you want to get really engrossed in something.
4. You’ll need to spend more to buy a curved screen
At the moment curved screens cost more to make than flat ones. Which means they also cost more to buy. This cost difference may reduce and even disappear eventually as production economies of scale kick in, but for now the price difference could be a reason to stay flat with your next TV unless you’re strongly persuaded by the curve pros.
5. You may feel curved screens look awkward when wall mounted
While curved TVs are attractive when mounted on desktop or floor stands, they don’t make comfortable wall flowers. The way their edges curve away from the flat wall behind looks plain peculiar to me, and ironically reminds you of one of the key reasons flat-panel TVs were invented in the first place.
6. You need to think bigger than you might be comfortable with
Everything I’ve seen so far convinces me that the effectiveness of curved screens is directly proportional to the size of your TV. In fact, the curve cons tend to outweigh the pros routinely with any curved TV smaller than 65 inches in size.
I hope this might be interesting..don't worry in very soon time I will come up with some more interesting topic.
