B1GGLZ:DarthKermit: I've seen a Samsung curved tv at JB Hifi. It seemed utterly pointless to me.

Just a short-lived gimmick IMO.
Whilst not directly related to this thread, I thought I'd mention that whilst I felt that 3D fell in the same heap (hype and little practical use), recently I upgraded my home theatre projector and whilst looking, auditioned 3 models in the 5K+ price range. The 3D on those, the Sony (Which I bought and LOVE), the Panasonic and the JVC (amazing) was literally breath taking.
My wife, a self professed neophyte and who has little or no interest in my gadget lovery, was utterly taken aback and now we watch whatever we can in 3D.
First Gen 3d wasn't anything to write home about, and I will admit to being openly derisive about 3D in general, and even though curved screens are of interest to me, and whilst I wouldn't buy one now, I'll wait and see.
