I fail to see how this would improve my viewing experience one bit and can think of numerous ways it would make it worse.

My old 32" Sony Trinitron XBR was curved outward. Heck, what did they know?

its stupid because the tv would have to be as large as your field of vision to actually make a difference, and furthermore even if it does look better to the guy sitting in the sweet spot, its worse for everyone else that you supposedly love and care for.

next big thing to worry about- oled flexible tv's. when i can roll my tv up and take it tailgating, THEN i will be excited.

I've read a few opinions saying the XBR was one of the best pictures ever.

Those Trinitron tubes were legendary. I was pretty proud of my setup in high school but I was always jealous of the guys in my PC gaming circle who had Sony Trinitron monitors.

Does anyone need a curved Trinitron from back in the day? I have one and will happily give it away for free. The caveat: you come, you lift, you bring it downstairs, and you load it into your vehicle.
