I can see that. I think the curved screen is a gimmick. In the average living room, I don't see how it will help much. Prefer a flat screen. Always have been an early adopter to new technologies, so I welcome UHD.

The above photo shows my first "home theater". Photo was taken in 1978. Featured is a 6 foot Advent 750, with SAE audio components. You may notice the first generation JVC Vidstar VTR, Marantz SLT12U turntable and Sony KV 7010UA. Bose 901 speakers are outside the field of view.

The screen was curved to focus the light to the sweet spot viewing position. Three people setting together on a sofa could see the image well enough. If you got up or walked to the side the image almost disappeared.
