My LG I posted about the other day is shot. Took it to be repaired and was told the LCD panel is shot and would cost more than a new TV to fix.

I'm interested in these new curved screens. Does anyone have one or have any positive or negative input on them?

TIA

Rip off. You can bend a regular one if you take your time and do it right.

I have the 55" curved Samsung and like it. Is it a very nice looking tv, great screen and has a really nice viewing angle. Is it a marketing gimmick? Probably. The new samsungs all have a great looking picture.

Just because you don't know how to do it, doesn't mean it can't be done. Aftermarket parts, brah!

Did you heat the screen first?

I used curved monitors at work, but wouldn't the curve in a TV diminish the viewing angle? I just don't see why anyone would want that if you have people in different spots in the room watching it.

Didn't think of that. May have helped.

I was in a rush or it would have been half the cracks.

You are gonna have to massage that epoxy just right, but it will work out.

I believe the marketing pitch is that you can get the same view from any angle in the room. I am not sure whether that is true or not because I have not seen one in person.
