STIS: I'm looking at Samsung 55" TVs, and deciding between the "Curved" and regular versions. Anyone got advice/thoughts? -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 12:12 12
- Get the curved only if you're the only person who's ever going to watch it and you plan on sitting in the same spot always. -- nm - Mop Mar 25, 12:22
