[QUOTE][B]LG Electronics says it will begin deliveries of curved OLED television sets next month, making it the first to offer such a product to the public.[/B]
The use of organic light-emitting diodes allows screens to be made thinner and more flexible than before.
The 55in (140cm) model will cost 15m won ($13,550; £8,725) and is initially limited to sales in South Korea.
One analyst said that being first to market gave LG "bragging rights", but suggested demand would be limited.
LG Electronics and its rival Samsung Electronics both showed off curved OLED TV prototypes at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January, but did not announce release dates at the time.
The two businesses are part of larger conglomerates that have separate divisions manufacturing their own television display panels. Many of their competitors buy in the components from third parties, making it harder for them to
claim such an exclusive.

maybe you've got a curvy tv stand
Is it curved as in the whole TV itself is actually curving or is it just the glass/screen?
If the TV is large enough, a curved screen is perfectly fine. Dell make that 29" ultra widescreen PC monitor, which desperately needed to be curved I think.

Doesn't matter as a single unit but it's nicer when you have more than one

Buy enough of them to make a dome around you.
Enjoy your virtual scenery.

better use of this is curved monitors, imagine a wrap around monitor, no bevels, no seams, just suround-vision, also if they ever become dynamic they can be adjusted based off of the lens of the camera used to make the film
god I read that as light emitting dildos
I am way too tired

It would also make current VR headset tech, like the Oculus Rift, more compact and sharper.
