Pros​


1. More elegant appearance​


Just like people prefer a streamlined car appearance and a rounded contour mobile phone, it is in line with modern aesthetics.

2. Obtain a larger display area in a limited space​


The 1.3-meter-wide space can fit a 55-inch traditional tablet, but it can fit a 58-inch curved TV.

3. Wider viewing angle​


The curved surface design increases the visible image range, and the screen display can be seen clearly even from a proper angle on the side of the TV.

4. Bring a more realistic sense of the scene​


The cool "embracing" audio-visual experience is like being in a curved theater, and the picture is more lifelike, as if it is within reach.

5. More comfortable for human eye​


The curved screen conforms to the characteristics of human visual structure, which can make each point on the screen reach the same distance from the eyes, eliminate the visual distortion at the edge of the screen, and create the most natural and comfortable look and feel.

Cons​


1. The requirements for the screen are greater​


The curved screen can only reflect the visual advantage under the condition of large screen, forming a wrap-around viewing experience. So, if a flat-screen TV is 55 inches, a curved TV needs to be at least 65 inches to achieve a similar effect.

2. It is inconvenient to hang on the wall​


Its thickness is large, and the curved and protruding edges have certain hidden dangers. The most prominent issue is that curved TVs exhibit a "bow-tie" distortion, where the edges of the screen appear larger than the middle, especially when displaying horizontal content that spans the screen, and the screen becomes more distorted when you move the viewing angle.

3. High requirements for light​


Ordinary spotlight TV walls are not very suitable for curved TVs, and families need to carry out some additional lighting designs to adapt to the light requirements of curved TVs.

4. The viewing angle is more critical​


Curved TVs emphasize that curved screens are more suitable for visual principles, but in fact, this visual effect is reflected in the need to sit at the center of the TV. That is to say, if you sit in another position to watch, not only can the ideal visual effect not be achieved, but the screen will be distorted due to the curvature of the screen. In fact, when a family watches TV, it is impossible for many people to crowd in the center of the TV.

5. Expensive​


From the sales person in charge of the store, I learned that consumers are most concerned about price when purchasing curved TVs. After all, the price of curved TVs is several times higher than that of ordinary flat-screen TVs.
