Samsung rolls out $13,000 curved 55-inch OLED TV

article published on 27 June, 2013

As expected, Samsung has rolled out its curved 55-inch OLED TV in South Korea, jumping into a niche market after rival LG Electronics. While it is great to see organic light-emitting diode TVs on the market, Samsung has warned that industry forecasts might be a bit optimistic.

Hmmm... without them (general consumer) putting too much thought in to it, I could see people thinking they'd want a curved panel for a tv.

But then when you do stop and think about it, just how effective would it be having one (again, as a tv)? Viewing angles; forget about it. You'd have to be sitting directly in front of it. And the benefit of it being curved will only work if the viewer is sitting fairly close to it.

It seems like it'd have a more prominent market with the pc community.

... SEEMS...

But again, once you start thinking about it, would people really want such a large, curved, monitor?

Sure, I'd LOVE to replace my tri-monitor surround setup with a single, large, curved monitor (got to be at least a 4k monitor, though).

But then what do I do if/when an issue arises with the panel? With a single large monitor setup, I'm left with no display until I can get it repaired/replaced. At least with a multi-monitor setup, I still have my other panels while I get the troubled one addressed.

Yes, I do understand that with the price point of these curved monitors, people buying them would apparently have the funds to simply get a replacement right away. But I'm not talking about these curved panels at their current price point. Costs will come down. I'm talking about just the usage of these curved monitors in general.
