Anyone seen one in the flesh yet? Unfortunately the Currys in my ghetto doesn't have one on display yet

Edit: Second image removed, keep it on topic guys.

I'd like to take a took at her curves, if you know what I mean.

There sure is a vagina next to that TV.

As a man I now want to buy the TV.

I remember the first time we got a tv with a flat screen. :datass:

I remember the first LCD TVs that came out in 2003 (Philips if I remember correctly), largest size was 22" (around £1500) and they were dreadful, black were grey, colours were washed out and the image was near invisible when viewed from an angle greater than 45 degrees.

Totally different beast from the LED backlit sets we have today.

The Currys at Teesside Park has the LG one on display. It recently took a massive price cut from £7,999 to £4,999.

It is sexy as hell in the flesh though.

I took a look at the LG 4K set in Selfridges, incredibly impressed. What's annoying is that these companies are investing so heavily in tech for screen sizes above 50", despite most TVs sold being between 30" and 40". There's really high demand for bedroom TVs (20" to 30"), yet most being sold are sets brought out in 2010.

Personally I'd love a 20" OLED PC monitor.

How did you find the curved look?

Not upgrading for a while. I'm financially tied to the TV I've got for a couple of years.

So. The curve. What's the advantage?

It's new, therefore it's automatically better.

This is a problem that the uk will suffer more than anywhere else though. The uk has the smallest average house size in the EU. Countries with larger house sizes will largely have bigger living rooms and so will prefer a larger tv. I believe the average tv sold in the North American market is 50" to 60" now. So as you say all the research and development is on these larger screens.

It takes some getting used to, but when you do it's actually pretty nice to look at.

The UK is more intensively urbanised than most other European countries and has a high general population density than places like Australia and America. Also, land is very expensive here because so much of it is taken up by the aristocracy.

Damn those aristocrats and their damned curved TVs.

Meanwhile, in Japan, the 'big two' fall further into obscurity.

Panasonic recently ended Plasma production, while Sony are focusing on a resolution that has no available content.

Fixed that to remove the class warfare nonsense.

Panasonic plasmas are amongst the best ever. Such a shame.

You're absolutely right. The landed gentry would happily build streets of affordable semi-detacheds on their estates if it weren't for those pesky countryside laws ~~they paid for~~ all those pesky rotten socialist governments have put in.
