Curved TVs seem like they limit the range of good viewing angles, and it seems like the extra money would be better spent on a larger or higher quality flat screen.

Also, the focal plane of most cameras is flat, so a curved TV will introduce distortion, right?

Its one of those things you have to have it in your living room to see, up close you can tell its curved but at farther distances it looks flat even when on extreme angles. Looking straight at it it looks flat in my living room.

Does the curved do much for you? That always seems silly to me but maybe I'm wrong.

I love it but it could just be the upgrade over the plasma i had, both curved and flat displays that i was looking at looked awesome. I had a sony flat screen in the running also and was going to buy it based on it had the 10 bit chipset in it but the screen on the Samsung blew it away IMO made the 4K Sony look like a plasma sitting next to each other.

I know, my uncle has a 78" curved TV, and it looks fine most of the time. There are many spots on the sides of the room where a flat screen would be better, though. You also have to think about the vertical aspect, because if you look at it from a slightly higher or lower angle, the curve becomes apparent.
