[170kphlang]

i have a 2007 samsung series 5 32" lcs (1st model i think that was 1080p for samsung during that time) and i want to upgrade na to newer model.

anyone here has one? pros and cons, or mas mainam parin yung flat but same features nung curved one?

Saka medyo mahal pa ang curved Screen. The most expensive that I've seen is a 60" Curved Samsung TV worth 200+K pesos and the cheapest one is around 60K pesos i think? If kaya naman ng budget go fo it.

kung kaya ng budget go! yun nga lang may limit talaga yung viewing angle niya

May limit pa pala viewing angle nya? I thought the reason why it is curved is to compensate viewing angles with it's size. Usually kasi ang curved screens na nakikita ko eh nasa 42" pataas. Diba parang blackboard sa schools? The reason some are curved para makita ng nasa farthest left and farthest right seating in the classrom, lalo na ung nasa unahan.

Wow, I was just reading online about flats vs. curves. Basically, most of what I read said that the curved is more for aesthetics and minimal lang yung advantage in terms of viewing angles.

So unless you have budget to spare for curves, it may still be better to get just the flat ones.

I think yun curved is just like uso/fad they had it as to just hype the latest but it will pass. The basic flat screen will stay. Electronics are super fast on developments kabibili mo lang wala pang 6months may bago na ulit.

nakita ko kasi yung demo ng LG sa Robinsons sinubukan kong manood from the center to my right then sa left side dapat sa gitna ka talaga manood or else mapapamura ka

[joemarski]

just me, when it comes to TVs, bigger is better.

tip ko lang sir TS... pag bibili ka na, try mo muna panoorin sa store.
puwesto ka sa harap, left side, right side, etc... view it from different angles.
then try to imagine na rin kung ano ang magiging itsura niya kapag nakakabit na sa wall.
matagal- tagal mo ring gagamitin 'yan, kaya medyo esep- esep talaga. oks ba sir? good luck.

Hmmm..this is strange.
Nung pina nood ko to sa moa appliance centre i didn't see any viewing angle distortion. In fact, curved screens are designed to compensate the sweet spot problem. Look at IMAX moa, the 8th storey screen is curved and you can seat anywhere without viewing angle issue.

Imho, At 7ft viewing distance, 42-55" or even 60" screen is better compared to 32" and below....

It's just the opposite.

In an Imax theatre, the screen is big enough so a few center rows and columns of viewers can feel the wrap-around effect, but not in any other seats.

I suggest you read this: Are curved TVs a gimmick? - CNET

To get the benefit of a wraparound image, or even the benefit of a more natural image that has every part equidistant from your eye, you need to be sitting in a pretty specific place. With a theater screen, that place is an area big enough in which a lot of people can sit. Sure, people off to the sides aren't getting the best effect (if any), but the folks in the middle are. With a smaller curved screen, that sweet spot is a lot smaller.

Quite a review.
On my experience , it's the real opposite.

let's just say it will be placed in the same position as my current lcd. wall mounted, front of my bed and center, 7 feet away from my view and is about 1.5 feet above sa height ng bed. switching from 32" to 50" :D

[emoji106] go for it sir!

[KenGarcia]

Parang babae lang yan, ano ba gusto mo flat or may curve? Hahahaha. Jk lang if kaya ng budget then go na yan!

[oj88]

Curved displays have a narrow viewer sweet spot. Any other place and the picture looks distorted. So it's not a good family TV.

From: CNET

[A curved screen] effectively requires the owner to sit at a rather precise distance from the screen. Too close or too far, and the curve loses its major benefits. And let's not forget, this is for one viewer. With several people on the couch, all the claimed benefits are lost.

If you're the only one watching and you're within the prescribed viewing angle and distance, then it MAY be a good buy. Otherwise, a flat screen might be a better choice.

wala pa kasi ako kilala na may curved baka magsisi ako at di pala ok haha anyway october pa naman ako kukuha ng unit if ever. nagreresearch pa ako. pero salamat sa mga suggestion

When i'm buying a tv i bring my own movie to watch in the store. Those demo movies they have are custom made to their screens. Bring your own movie and let them play that so you can know kung talagang maganda yun kulay or details kasi you know your movie by heart. May mga instances kasi na pagbinili mo na pag dating sa bahay iba na kulay or d ganun ka detailed pala or nahihilo ka after 15mins of watching. Hassle magsoli at palitan ibang brand. Which happened to me by the way.
