1 more tv question, sorry
« on: April 09, 2016, 08:22:16 am »
Sorry, but I have 1 more question about tvs   Should I get a regular or curved?  Does anyone have curved and what do you think is better?  I read tons of reviews and some say if you are not directly in front curved is no good.  Others say curved is the best, almost like 3D without having 3D.

All three of mine are flat screens and I am happy with them.

I really like the flat screens personally. I feel like I can see better with them. We just got another one for our living room and it's pretty great.

I enjoy the flat screen.  I have a smart tv but don't care for it that much.

Have not seen the curved TVs in a "home"  setting to answer intelligently.  We have flat TVs in our house and they seem to be fine for us.

Well that makes a lot of sense.  I would not get a curved tv ever.

I guess one day I will buy a curved tv, when the prices have come down and they have been tried and tested by consumers. I currently have a large Samsung 52 inch flat screen in my living room and I have been gloriously happy with it since the day I bought it. We also have 3 semi-large flat screens in the kids bedrooms - the price was so great when we bought them we really couldn't afford to pass them up! However back to your question. If my tv broke today, I would go out and buy the exact same one I have now - a flat screen.

I would stick with the flat screen for now, I have seen the curved ones in the store and the picture is amazing but the cost is also pretty amazing. To me it is just not worth it until I know they have been around long enough to know they are going to last without issues and the costs come down to a reasonable price.

I love the look of the curved but just have the regular.  the curved are still a bit too expensive for me.  but you can always go to best buy and check them out in person to see what you like best

I just bought another 19" flat screen to use as a monitor for my wife's computer, with a side benefit of watching TV on it.

But what happens when she/you want to watch TV while on the computer?  ;)


We just remodeled a room in our house to make it an office.  Before that, my wife had a desktop and a large printer in our bedroom and we had a few laptops with no real home base and a second printer in the "spare room" and a large filing cabinet in the front hallway.  Now those are all consolidated with a couple of desks in the old spare room.  I have a 21 inch flat screen TV on the desk with my laptop and an HDMI cable to connect my laptop to its display, but I usually find that I want to have the TV on in addition to the laptop!

I have three computers in my room, the one with the TV has dual monitors to cover that problem.
