Replied to: What's the deal with curved displays?

General concept is a more "immersive experience", trying to mimic IMAX benefits, having the screen almost wrapping around you. Only really a benefit to bigger screens (eg. 55"+) and only if you sitting in the right spot (basically directly in front). Atleast that's what I read during last year's CES, unless much has changed since then(?).
