Curved TV



For years TV manufacturers have been trying to come up with gimmicks to get people to buy new TVs.  In recent years they were pushing 3D TVs.  3D TVs were intended to improve immersion, but the large glasses required broke immersion and caused 3D TVs to fail.  The Newest gimmick that TV manufacturers are using are curved TVs.  These TVs are curved to wrap around the viewer to increase immersion of the viewer.

I believe that curved TVs have an opportunity to be embraced by the public.  The key difference between curved TVs and 3D TVs is that no extra peripherals are required to watch a curved TV.  The curved TV is a subtle change that increases the viewers immersion.

The best way to improve a television is to improvethe screen resolution.  I think that 4k TVs are going to be the next big thing in TV, but curved TVs have a good chance of gaining popularity as well.

  1. I agree, I knew the 3d tv wasnt going to have any success, because not everyone wants to watch 3d and to pay that extra hundreds I dont think its worth it. This on the other hand is unique and gives u the theater like feeling.
