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
The prices are the same btw, and in fact the curved may be a bit cheaper. -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 12:19 2

  - That's what I was thinking to be honest. You guys are all helpful though! Thanks so much :-) -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 12:23
If only one person will be watching it from a fixed point (chair), then go curved. -- nm - Ultron Mar 25, 12:18 1
- Mainly the bf and I on the couch, but friends will watch in chairs off to the side of the TV/video games from each direction -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 12:20

I feel the same way about this as the Ultra HD nonsense. It's a blatant, purposeless upsell. -- nm - David Mar 25, 12:17
Go regular, curved not worth it. Especially at the premium you pay. -- nm - budice Mar 25, 12:16
Everything I've read, and from my own observations, the curve does nothing. I actually think it's sort of distracting. -- nm - pmb Mar 25, 12:16
There is zero advantage to curved. Avoid. nm - Dignan Mar 25, 12:16
iirc, curved has some problems with lag? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 25, 12:15
