Samsung Shows Off Curved OLED TV

LAS VEGAS -- You're not seeing things: This TV from Samsung has a slight curve to it. The company claims it's the world's first curved OLED TV, and we don't doubt it.

What advantage does a curved TV have over flat panels? Samsung says the curves gives panoramic images such as nature scenes a more life-like viewing experience.

A curved panel would theoretically also make viewing angle less of an issue, since the curve would bend pixels slightly toward the user. That would be more of an advantage for LCD TVs, however, which tend to lose color saturation at off angles, than OLEDs, which don't.

Samsung's Curved OLED is just a concept right now, with no plans to bring it to market at the moment.

Do you think a TV with a slight curve would improve your picture? Share your thoughts in the comments.
