kde Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 With some modifications to the furniture... I think I can now go up to 75". Likely going flat (not curved). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJK I agree... but there won't be any in a size I would consider buying for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyrc Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 A curved screen may increase the feeling of immersiveness if it is big enough. All true widescreen processes in cinema terms (an aspect ratio of 2:1 or greater; 16:9 doesn't qualify because it is only 1.78:1) were designed for at least slightly curved screens. CinemaScope (and it's successor, Panavision), were shown exclusively on sightly curved screens for the first decade, or so. The problem with curved TV screens is they are not common height, unless a 21:9 (2.33:1) can be configured that way, and they are not big enough. For size to help, I would think that the widescreen image would have to be at least 45 degrees wide, which would mean a projector and screen. In our HT, the perceived width is 47 degrees with a 130" true width screen from about 12.5 feet away. If we could have a built-in screen rather than a roll down, we would go curved in a minute. One of my favorite processes, 70 mm Todd-AO, used a significantly curved screen until it became clear that rival processes were mainly flat. In the halcyon days, people who liked to sit back got about 50 degrees, and people in the film buff seats, closer up, could get 70 degrees, or so. At 70 degrees, the effect was very immersive.

garyrc Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 LG Curved 4K UHD Smart LED TV - 105" Class This one might be large enough to increase immersiveness through a combination of a slight curve and a large size. It is 105," which, in TVspeak, means a 105" diagonal. Al right, a 104.6" diagonal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
