**The World of Curved Displays: A New Era in Viewing Experiences**

In recent years, curved displays have become increasingly popular, particularly with the introduction of smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy Round and TVs like the 55-inch Samsung hu 9000. These devices feature a curved screen that wraps around the edges of the device, providing an immersive viewing experience for users. But what exactly is the difference between a curved phone and a curved TV, and how does it affect the overall user experience?

**Curved Phones: A New Way to Interact with Your Device**

When it comes to phones, curvature is used to fit better in your hand or against your face when making a call. The Samsung Galaxy Round, for example, was one of the first curved smartphones to hit the market. This design change allows users to hold their phone more comfortably and makes it easier to navigate the screen with one hand. However, this type of curvature is not as widely adopted in the smartphone market as it once was.

**Curved TVs: A Larger Screen with a Different Curve**

On the other hand, curved TVs are designed to provide an immersive viewing experience for users. The Samsung hu 9000, for example, features a 55-inch screen with a radius of 4.2 meters or around 13 and a half feet. This means that users should sit at least 13 feet away from the TV to fully appreciate its curved design. But what makes this curve so special? The answer lies in the viewing experience.

**The Viewing Experience: Immersion, Distortion, and Glare**

When it comes to curved TVs, there are three main differences in the viewing experience: immersion, distortion, and glare. Immersion refers to the sense of being fully engaged with the content being displayed on screen. Curved TVs like the Samsung hu 9000 use this technique to create a more immersive experience for users.

Distortion is a secondary concern when it comes to curved TVs. If you look at the TV from a weird angle, the image can become distorted and less clear. However, this problem is easily solvable by sitting in front of the screen within the optimal viewing radius – roughly 13 feet away from the center of the curve.

Glare is another issue that some users may experience with curved TVs. But surprisingly, glare is not a major concern for most viewers. The bezels on modern TVs are designed to be thinner and less distracting, allowing users to focus more on the content being displayed.

**The Science Behind Curved Displays**

So what makes curvature work in TV design? According to experts, the key lies in the measurement of the curve radius – how much the screen curves inwards or outwards. A larger curve radius creates a greater sense of immersion and immersion is often described as an emotional response to the visual experience.

In the case of curved TVs like the Samsung hu 9000, the curve radius is set at around 4.2 meters or 13 and a half feet. This means that users should sit within this distance from the TV to fully appreciate its curved design.

**The Limitations of Curved Displays**

While curved displays have come a long way in recent years, there are still some limitations to consider. For example, if you sit too far away from the screen, the curve becomes less noticeable and may not be worth the extra cost.

Additionally, 3D TVs which also use curvature for immersion purposes can actually become distracting with glasses or headaches when looking at them.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, curved displays have come a long way in recent years, providing an immersive viewing experience that is hard to match on flat screens. Whether you're using a smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy Round or a TV like the 55-inch Samsung hu 9000, the benefits of curvature are undeniable.

But before making any purchasing decisions, it's essential to see curved displays in person and experience them firsthand. Only then can you truly appreciate the benefits of this technology and determine whether it's worth the extra cost.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what is up guys I'm kbhd here and two years ago at CES we saw a whole lot of these 3D TVs whether you needed glasses or there was glasses list 3D but people didn't really like them uh they kind of give you a headache they're a little bit distracting to wear the glass is so 3D TV is just kind of slowly went away they're not totally gone but you don't really see 3D TV marketed nearly as much as you did two years ago so now this past January at CES we saw an interesting new fad pop up there was obviously a lot of 4K and that is not a fad but we also saw these curved TVs from a bunch of Manufacturers these giant curved panels and a lot of people have asked me questions about it people are curious like are these legit are they worth checking out this is a quick video on curved TVs explained so if you've been on this channel a while you may recall seeing a little while ago I did a curved smartphones explained video but those are much smaller displays that's a handheld display and phones like the LG G Flex and the Samsung Galaxy Round where you can hold a curved display in your hand and that might not change the viewing experience a whole lot but it definitely changes the way you touch the phone and the way you interact with the screen but these curved TVs are obviously a lot bigger than your phone and they're curved for very different reasons than you would curve a phone when you curve a phone you're curving it to fit better in your hand or fit better against your face while making a call because that which that's what you do with a phone when you curve a TV you get three main differences in the viewing Experience One immersion two Distortion and three glare now to actually show this to you guys I'm gonna be using this 55 inch Samsung hu 9000 curved TV and yes it is actually one of the 4K TVs shown off at CES this year so it's perfect for this now Distortion and glare are naturally cons of what people are concerned about when you curve a giant TV like that is the image going to get distorted and is there going to be a lot of glare from weird angles and the bottom line is glare really isn't any more of a problem than it is on a normal flat TV but Distortion can get a little bit weird if you're looking at the TV from a weird angle there's definitely a slightly smaller viewing radius where you want to be while looking at this screen that doesn't mean you can't look at it from off axis and see everything it just means that it's going to look a little bit weird from slightly different angles if you're trying to watch a movie and get the full cinematic experience now all these TVs have a pretty similar curve radius no matter who you buy it from and that measurement is the radius of the circle this TV would make if you continued its curve all the way around into a complete circle so that measurement here is 4.2 meters or around 13 and a half feet which means you'll get the optimal viewing experience if you sit about 13 and a half feet away from this TV and the center of this imaginary Circle that's where the immersion comes in where you'll really actually notice the curve on the TV and it changes the viewing experience now they've made some other changes to make this one in particular a more immersive TV so I mean it's a 4K TV of course more pixels makes the image more immersive you get that's why bezels have been getting thinner to focus more on the content and less on the hardware around it that's also more immersive and I welcome all these changes to a TV to make it more immersive only becomes a problem though when it's distracting 3D for example was supposed to be more immersive but it actually distracted you with the glasses you had to wear or the headaches it would cause when you're looking at it so that's why it fade it away quickly but I say the subtle curve here on these TVs isn't really distracting it's as long as you sit somewhere around that 13 foot Mark you'll get a great viewing experience in fact if you sit more than 13 feet away you're too far away and there's really almost no point it might as well be a flat panel because you won't notice the curve when you sit too far away but what's funny is when you sit closer than 13 feet away inside that radius it gets even more surrounding and the TV actually seems bigger than it really is so really immersion tends to be that X Factor that decides what the difference is between a curved and a flat TV but honestly if I'm going to tell you the truth here you're going to want to just see one in person it's hard to actually judge if you care about the curves of a TV a lot of people just don't you know it's more expensive first of all and you're going to have to pay extra to get a curved TV so if you're going to buy a curved TV check it out in person first and check out the larger models because the smaller ones you're not going to be able to tell it's curved nearly as easily so there you go guys I'm going to ask what do you think of curved TVs or have you even gotten to see one in person yet honestly the only one I've seen in person is the one I'm showing you today and after using it now it's kind of weird to go back to a flat TV just because of the way it appears to you in front of you just the angles the way they work but let me know what you guys think of curved TVs curved panels curved smartphones do you even care I probably wouldn't recommend buying a curved smartphone at this point but it's a lot more tempting to buy a curved TV so let me know what you guys think thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys in the very next one peace foreignhey what is up guys I'm kbhd here and two years ago at CES we saw a whole lot of these 3D TVs whether you needed glasses or there
