Samsung Bets Big on Curved TVs

For Samsung, curved TVs aren't just a gimmick. The company is going all the way with the idea, announcing today the availability of most of the curved models it unveiled at CES in January — many of them with Ultra HD (aka UHD or 4K) resolution.

Why would you want a curved screen? Samsung says it makes the screen seem even bigger and more immersive — from all viewing positions, not just right in front. Reviewers and users have been more skeptical, but there's no question it's an eye-catching design. The curve also doesn't prevent wall mounting, as the sets still adhere to current standards.
