A CURVED MONITOR on a larger screen is a great idea. Your eye is at a similar distance from all parts of the screen, minimizing distortion and reducing eye strain. They also expand your peripheral vision, offering a more immersive world. LG, pioneers of curved screens, has developed a new use for its flexible OLED screen. The first television to use them is the LG Flex TV LX3, a 4K, 16:9, 42-inch screen with motorized controls that adjust the curvature from flat to an impressive 900R (ie. a radius of 900mm). You can set it to 20 curvature levels, and it uses the Alpha 9 Gen 5 image processor, LG’s high-end model. It has a resolution of 3,840x2,160 and a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. There are a host of other features you would expect on a highend television, including HDR. It’s perfect for both gaming and general viewing.
