Best Curved TV Reviews 2023

First things first—there are not many cheap curved TVs available, and those at the extreme lower end of the price spectrum aren’t worth their salt. That said, the price of a curved TV mostly depends on its size and technology and the features it comes with. For example, a curved TV that measures 55 inches long and offers Wi-Fi connectivity is going to cost a few dollars more than a 32-inch curved display with HDMI and USB ports. To give you a rough idea, prices of curved TVs range from $400 for a model that offers 1080p Full HD resolution to upwards of $800 for one that offers class-leading and stellar 4K SUHD picture-viewing capabilities. Apart from the resolution and size, some curved TVs can be ordered with accessories such as a sound bar, which may add to the up-front costs, but it works out to be more cost efficient than buying them separately.

Curved TVs are available with myriad features and options, making choosing the right one a complex affair.

But here are a few features to consider when wading through the plethora of options.

• Display Size – This is the size of the display, and is typically measured in inches.
• Resolution – This dictates the sharpness of the TV picture, and common options are HD and 4K.
• Wi-Fi – If you’re looking to stream videos from networks such as YouTube and Hulu without adding an extra device, look for curved TVs with wireless capabilities built in.
• Refresh Rate – Expressed in Hertz (Hz), this is the number of times per second a picture is refreshed on the screen; the industry standard is 60 times per second, or 60 Hz.
• Connections – If you’re going to be forking over some serious cash on a curved TV, look for a future-proof set that offers a minimum of 1 USB and 3 HDMI connectivity ports.
• Remote – All smart TVs come with a remote control, and if the one you’re looking at doesn’t, skip it quickly and move on to the next model.
• Warranty – Look for a curved TV that comes with some level of warranty to protect your investment for several years to come.

Curved TVs allow for a more immersive viewing experience owing to the fact that they provide a more natural shape and leverage the benefits of our round eyes’ peripheral vision. Further, their curved design makes them aesthetically appealing, they and offer a wider viewing angle when compared to flat screen TVs. One of the other noteworthy features in terms of design is that the curve in curved TVs slightly increases the perceptible screen real estate, so a 65-inch curved TV would actually look bigger than a 65-inch flat screen LED TV. However, curved TVs are a bit bulkier at the back, which combined with the different shape, could make them hard to mount, but once in place, they will leave you in awe for hours on end.

When shopping for a curved TV, there are two common types you’re going to come across—LED and OLED and everything in between. OLED curved TVs are generally more expensive than their LED counterparts and for good reasons, starting with their panels, which feature several LEDs, each of which can be controlled individually in terms of brightness. If you’re going to be hooking up several different devices to your curved TV, such as DVD player and surround-sound speakers, look for a curved TV that offers at least 1 USB port and several HDMI ports, so that you’re not constantly switching connections and can keep your devices plugged in. Most curved TV remotes are feature rich and provide easy access to several online apps with the touch of a few preconfigured buttons.
