Why Curved TVs Failed? 6 Major Reasons - Eagle TV Mounting

2. Reflections causing Glossy Screen
Here, a glossy screen tends to affect the viewing angles. When glossy screens are fitted to TVs, they are more likely to get reflections that can block your view. This doesn’t offer you the same experience of viewing just like flat-panel TVs offer.
Undoubtedly, curved TVs are prone to have problems with reflections. In case if you are willing to fix the reflection issues of the curved TV screen, then a few hacks can help you there:
First, change the screen angle of the picture to limit any reflections. Remember to shift the display screen far off from the light source. This can create reflections and makes a clear difference.
Secondly, you can fit a matte picture protector on the screen to counter reflections. However, finding the exact matte display layer that properly covers your TV can be challenging.
Additionally, sticking a matte layer to your TV screens can be worrisome because air bubbles might get trapped under your protector. So, this can be a tricky solution for large screens.
The easiest trick to wade off reflections is by turning off the lights to enjoy experiences like commercial cinemas. This might not work in the morning when natural light is available.
You can also place LED strips on the back side of your TV if you have one of the early models. They work as bias lights and offer ambient lighting around the sweet spot.
5. Placement of the Curved TV
If you want to create an aesthetic look within your sweet spot, placing a curved screen will give you a tough time. Compared to flat tv, a curved screen seems too weird when positioned on a wall mount.
However, changing the seating position and setting may help improve image quality. Whatsoever placement you try, curved TVs tend to appear a little odd in your room setting.
6. Lack of Availability
Although the unavailability of a curved TV won’t be settled as a technical issue, it can put you in chaos when you require technical repairs or support.
Because curved screens disappeared from the market long ago, you might find it tricky even to get one.
Moreover, you may have a tough time searching for third-party support in case something doesn’t work.
The availability of curved-screen TV parts is also questionable, so replacing a part can be troublesome. If you’re facing any curved screen issues, get it checked physically.
The best way to do it is by contacting a service center approved by Samsung company.
Although, asking for a local repairman’s help might be a waste of time as curved TVs are uncommon compared to flat-screen TVs.
What are the Pros and Cons of Curved TVs?
Although some problems are meant to be fixed while watching curved TVs, it has some advantages that are worthy of your investment.
Theater-like Display
TV directors make screenplay as realistic as possible so the audience can have a lifelike experience. And curved TVs deliver it exceptionally on your home screen.
Curved TVs were built to stimulate eye movement and replicate peripheral vision.
Since your eyes sense the arc of the screen, the pictures become more three-dimensional and natural. It feels like you’re living inside the movie.
Broader Field of View
The slightly arched design of the curved screen offers you more space in your vision field.
Although, it can only be experienced when you’re positioned in the right spot, the front and center.
Sharpened Image Quality on the Edges
The curved TVs track your eye shape, thereby making pictures seem to get sharper at the corners.
