So, can anybody school me up on televisions?
These new ultraHD 4k curve televisions, are they worth the money? I almost bought a Samsung today, but I backed out. I hear that the curve may be a gimmick?
Any info on these tv's would be great. I figured CP would have some info. |

I've always liked Samsung TVs. Currently have had my Samsung for probably 10 years now and I feel no need to change and everytime I go through a store the Samsungs always seem to have a better picture than the rest. But I've never understood the whole curved TV bullshit. I cant see how a curved display would enhance the TV watching experience. It's so subtle I can't imagine not thinking that I'm looking at a flat screen if looking at it straight on and then I can't imagine not wishing I got a flat screen when looking at the distortions from an angle.

Just not much current 4K content available. Buy one if it's a super deal and maybe be set for the future. But meh.....

That's solid info. Thanks. It looks like that piece was written early 2015? I do have netflix and amazon, but I'm not buying a 4k tv, and buying a Sony machine simply to rent and buy digital content, especially with a minimum 8 hour download time. I guess I should look into directv and see if they're even offering any 4k content as of now. Thanks for the link, Fish.

You also have to consider the size of the TV and how far away you are sitting. If the TV is too small or you are sitting too far away you won't get the full benefit of 4K.

I recently got a 70" Vizio 4k, and it's pretty incredible. Comparing pictures to other brands, I definitely preferred the Vizio.
