I saw LG's claim to being the first curved OLED and they had a demo set up that used three of the curved panels in a semicircle view. I could not see the advantage to the curve theory. The 3D was excellent whether flat or curve.

But I will say that the flat OLED had quite a reflection issue in a bright room. I could often see myself when the screen was black. The curve screen pretty much eliminated the reflections in the room.

Don't really care who was first with the curved OLED, but both companies had demos rolling today.

I'll post some 3D of these curved screens when I get home.

I too do not see the advantage of a curved screen until you get to a massive size (i.e. movie theater).

Agree. I would not get a cinecurve in a set. Only advantage is for large screen sizes to accomodate off-angle viewing. Heck they can't even get OLED out, and already talking curved screens and 4K OLED.
