Samsung’s just announced what it’s calling “the world’s first curved OLED TV.” A curved screen on your TV may sound like a bit of an oddity, but Samsung boasts that it creates a more panoramic, more immersive viewing experience, and actually improves viewing angles from the side. The 55-inch TV on display at Samsung’s booth is due to come out the second half of this year, and has what Samsung reps have called “an IMAX feel.” The TV is incredibly sharp and crisp, with fantastic colors. Unfortunately, though, details are still otherwise scarce — we’re not sure of the resolution, details of the curvature, or the like – but we’re already thinking about putting our piggy bank savings toward a curved OLED and not an easel-mounted TV.
