That is enormous. I take it you have a cinema type room to put it in? has anyone here had any good or bad experience with either ?
thanks!
Why do you want a curved tv? They are a bit of an awkward gimmick IMO
Curved TVs are just a fad, i'd go for this monster, as it has proper local dimming, which the Sony and Samsung lack

I seriously wouldn't bother .... just go for regular flat panel. Huge gimmick (like 3D).
Like how they curve massive cinema screens. For like the last 50 - 60 years. Once you sit in front of one - I have one myself - it's totally natural. Like that gimmicky widescreen rubbish they tried to flog us 15 years ago!
I can personally vouch for the 65 inch Samsung 8500.

I have a 78" Samsung being delivered tomorrow and I am installing it on Wednesday / Thursday. So should be able to post photos and comment Thursday / Friday for you.

I say enough of this anti-big screen anti-4kishness!
We need to see insanely large TVs on our walls!

Hi TDM - How much can you get these for? My projector is hardly getting used now we have 40kg of retriever ripping the house up so might need to revert to a panel in the cinema room.http://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/viera-televis...
The 65VT65 is still wowing in the lounge though

Googled the part number, thinking that usually Panasonic TVs were a decent cheaper alternative to the likes of Samsung... http://www.panasonic.com/uk/consumer/viera-televis...

The difference being that this was done to account for the pincushion effect of using anamorphic lenses for widescreen (ie 2.35:1 and higher) content. Since these days most content is shown on constant width screens and 4K digital projectors (without anamorphic lenses, just using suitable masking) they don't need a curved screen anyway now.Once you sit in front of one - I have one myself - it's totally natural.

...'widescreen' TVs aren't anything special when you get used to watching a 2.35:1 projector screen.
