Shannon is correct. All the reputable tech magazines point out that a curved screen is merely a gimmick to draw attention to 4K, and to distinguish itself rather disingenuously. For 8K, we'll have screens curved the opposite way.

For 8K, we'll have screens curved inwards so far they wrap around the head, for an immersive experience that only one person at a time can enjoy.

I never get a headache from 3D at home. I often get it from 3D at the theater, though.

It definitely messes with me on a home TV or a theater screen. Good thing I think it is a massive waste of time (and money) anyway.

"It's not a gimmick like 3D. 3D is actually something useful that adds to your viewing experience."

What the...?

Mikael79

Dude, he paid extra for a 3D TV. Let him have that statement and feel good.

Shannon Nutt

I didn't, and just because some of you don't appreciate 3D at home doesn't mean it's not an enjoyable enhancement to many Blu-ray releases. I can't imagine having to watching Avatar, Hugo or Life of Pi in 2D.

Mikael79

So they threw in 3D for free? I doubt that.

Jay G.

It's not really a question of whether the 3D feature was "free" on the TV, but whether Shannon paid more for the TV model than otherwise. If there were other features on the TV that Shannon wanted, and there wasn't a cheaper non-3D model that had those same features, then the 3D wasn't an "extra" cost since it was included in the desired model TV.

Shannon Nutt

There wasn't a discernible price difference is what I was trying to say.

Why all the hate for TV 3D? It's far better on a calibrated home set than it is in the theater, and don't you guys want to watch movies the way the director intended?

I personally like the 3D. My only regret is not getting a bigger set. Next one will be 70" minimum...

Astrofan

I can't imagine ever having to watch Avatar a second time.

dan30oly

Really? I went from hating Avatar after the first time I saw it to absolutely loving it by the time I got to the 10th viewing.

I can't wait for the sequels.

I haven't been impressed with any of the curved screens I've seen. They just don't look right.

Saw my first OLED set at Sam's the other day. That fucker was thin; it was like the windshield of a car. Felt like it was about 5mm thick.

I was less impressed with the picture, though. From what I saw the black levels looked great, and the colors were vibrant, but the picture itself looked blurry and smeared. I don't know what the source of the picture was, but it looked like VHS hooked up through the composite input.

Maybe it was just the set-up at that particular store, but I don't think they'll sell many of these for $4000.

I saw my first OLED the other day and it blew every regular LED 4K set away. Sucks that right now we can't get a 4K OLED screen.

Josh, I thought the thinness of the 55' LG OLED was amazing but completely negated when you look at the back of the TV. The one I checked out in Best Buy started out like a windshield but had a section in the back for the power cord that was over an inch thick! It would actually stick out much further on my wall mount than the 2 year old LG I have now.
