The other 'O.L.E.D. T.V.s and 4K T.V.s, your thoughts?' thread is better

No it isn't.

;)

Here's my attempt at a serious response.

Don't these electronic companies realise that we are still in a global economic crisis?

Is now really the time to introduce a new gadget war leading to more personal debt which will ultimately manifest as national and international debt?

My cousin is one of those people who enjoys sitting in front of the the most up to date telescreen that Ingsoc can provide. He might be able to notice a bit more resolution on an 80 inch screen oh his 70 inch wall but almost everyone else will not notice the difference between 1080p and four times that (I hardly notice the difference between 1080p and 780p).

OLEDs mean you can have this :

If you are rich enough. 

Nice I suppose but seeing as most HDTVs have a good decade of life in them why introduce this gimmick now?

Why not introduce it when the economies of the world are getting back on there feet and looking for something new to spend the little bit of money they have to lift the gloom of austerity from their lives?

Five years from now I can see people wanting a concave telly and being willing enough to throw out their perfectly functional flat screens in much the same way they did when convex televisions became too silly to exist.

But not now.

Please Moth3r and Jay if you can just combine bot 4k oled t.v. threats. and do them by time and date posted for the comments. Thank you.

I agree.

ALLOL

I believe the curve has nothing to do with viewing angles but more to do with an attempt to create a more immersive viewing experience e.g.

  Ok Moth3r, thank you. :)

If it's big enough it can.

I saw the How The West Was Won Blu-Ray Cinerama reconstruction and the sense of being in the scene even as a curved image on a flat screen was remarkable.

I wouldn't pay to have one though, I don't have the room for a large flat screen let alone a large curved one.
