Curved TV’s Buying Guide
1. Size
If you want to buy a curved television you must determine what size best fits your space. Make sure to measure your space to get the ideal screen size so it can easily feel at home in a middling or larger space. A large size of television can take up too much space and may not fits into your room at all, and a small size is not ideal for families to watch shows and movies.
2. Resolution
4k UDH resolutions are the most popular TV resolutions nowadays. It is the most common mainstream in home entertainment because it is more affordable and offers higher than 1080p HD pixels. Resolutions always depend on your budget. Some brands offer 4k UDH resolutions yet you need to pay a lot of money.
3. Voice Command
Voice commands have become an important feature of home televisions. Many brands nowadays are compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant. This will allow you to launch applications, search movies, browse and even control another device.
Why should you buy a curved television?
Caleb Denison at Digital Trends puts it quite eloquently:
“A curved television makes a bold first impression — you can’t not stare at it. The gentle radius screams for attention while simultaneously seducing you into a trance-like state. When guests to my home saw it, there could have been a carnival of dancing monkeys dressed in tutus in my living room and no one would have noticed because they were all staring at the TV.”
Here is a curved TV that I personally own and have been pretty happy with:
Samsung UN55RU7300FXZA Curved 55Inch Alexa Compatibility 2019 Model
- 4k uhd processor: powerful 4k uhd processor optimizes your tv’s performance by upscaling every show, season, and scene with 4k picture quality
- enhanced detail with hdr: 4k depth of detail with high dynamic range lets you see shades of color that reveal more detail than hdtv can deliver
- purcolor reveals spectrums of color: millions of shades of color reveal a vibrant, lifelike picture that conventional hdtv can’t create. power supply (v) - ac110-120v 50/60 hertz. maximum power consumption: 135
- smart tv features: simple on-screen universal guide to find streaming content and live tv shows, one remote a to control all compatible devices, smart speaker expandability with alexa and google assistant compatibility, and more
- curved screen design: get pulled into the action with auto depth enhancer on curved tvs for immersive viewing
The enhanced curved design of this curved television allows you to experience great picture quality from pretty much any angle. However, the viewing is not that great if you sit at an angle of more than around 30-35 degrees. But you wouldn’t normally sit at such an angle anyway- so for the best experience sit in front of the TV. For reference, just think of a movie theater – there are good seats, and, bad seats.
The curvature and the Ultra Clear Panel technology absorbs ambient light, helps reduce glare & reflections, delivers deep blacks and enhanced contrast for crystal-clear, detailed images.
It’s quite nicely integrated with voice commands and gestures. For gestures to work, you need to get the camera accessories separately.
Because it’s a Smart TV, it integrates tightly with your wireless network. You can wirelessly display your photos, videos, presentations, or video games on the TV’s big screen. Full web browser and apps let you continue your online browsing and shopping experience without the need for an additional device.
You can even use the smart remote control like a mouse. Alternatively, you may talk into the built-in microphone or use the touchpad to navigate around.

What is a 4k TV?
4K (or UHD) – is the new display technology that significantly increases the number of pixels found in a full High-Definition picture. It’s called 4K simply because the images are around 4,000 pixels wide. More specifically, it quadruples the number of pixels found in a full HD picture, thereby significantly improving the viewing experience. A 4k TV has pixels arranged in a 3,840 x 2,160 configuration, whereas a full HD TV has only 1920×1080 pixels. UHD, or Ultra High Definition simply refers to any resolution that is at least 4K.
