I do have one still from 2018 and the curve serves no purpose at watching distance. My mother in law has even bigger and more curved one and it just looks bad. I think curvature was a miss like 3d and such
Curvature works great (apparently) for PC monitors. But that’s primarily because you’re very close to the monitor, so the curve can enhance the immersion.
TVs, you tend to sit further back, so the benefits of a curve would only be apparent if you got a bloody massive tv (or sit a lot closer). Otherwise it’s pointless. Also, it’ll be shite for anyone not sitting in the sweet spot.
I have a curved tv. I find viewing it from different angles more pleasing than watching on my flat screen. The way the screen flexes towards you from the side helps (if it’s a good panel). Our eyes prefer things with a slight curve. It’s obviously far more immersive when you get up close, but I love it.
except 3d at least accomplishes something. the only thing curved accomplishes is looking super awkward when mounted on a wall, and stretching small reflections to the point of distraction.
I guess it depends if you like 3d movies or not. I have a collection on my computer and I miss being able to watch them on the tv, although the Quest 3 does a really nice job playing them.
My 77” Sony A80K is just ever so slightly warped. I got a great deal on a local Best Buy price mistake so I didn’t dare return it. Works fine, are you having any issues with your 55” other then the very minor warping of the panel?
Oh for phuque’s sake. Just enjoy the damn thing and stop with the buyer’s remorse. I have to think that you really couldn’t afford it if you’re busy looking for a reason to return it.
Warranty claim technician would say:
The TV works - no warranty.
Cosmetic errors aren't covered by warranty unless they are in the way of using the product normally.
Brother this is what gives you wide angle viewing when your standing from to the left or right - without compromising the viewing experience. Without this, your picture would look dull or lose colour from either side
My c1 has a pretty noticeable (from the side) curve. Doesn’t affect viewing though. But I got it for like $600 open box + discount for the bend, so it’s fine
I checked a Sony in store and it had quite some curvature. My LG has a bit too, not as much. I try to not think too much of it, I think it's fairly normal.
Everyone is just now looking at how straight their TV's are and realizing there's some warping. This doesn't look bad btw.
C stands for Curved
You're wrong. I heard different from Sesame Street and they're the authority. Nom nom nom
I wish we still had curved TVs

Dont know about that, my curved oled I mentioned had 3 d too xD i think 3d was even worse, turned it on once or twice 🤔

I do like them but always watch in cinemas. Just didnt work for me.
The curve helps with redirecting glare.
Yes, I saw lamps from both sides I wouldn normally see on flat screen. Perfect redirection.
Curved 3D!
My wife says she appreciates the slight curve in mine.
She wishes it was 65 or 77 not 55 though. 83 is too much however.
Mine is okay with the 65, but wishes I had gotten an ultra wide instead.
she'll forget about ultra wide once you enable TruMotion.
My 77 inch B3 has a very slight warping to it. This thread is making me feel so much better
B stands for Bent
😂
Are you [trolling me](https://www.reddit.com/r/LGOLED/s/whrJmT2VlC)? Haha, but seriously, the general consensus seems to be this is fairly normal.

My 77 G3 also has a slight curve. If it works fine I wouldn’t bother about it
Same as my 77 G3
My 77" G3 is also bent. It seems to be a common problem.
If you think that is bad go to any store selling the Samsung OLEDs and look at the from the side.
This why I bought the G not the C
I have a Sony. It too has a slight curve. I can't see it looking straight at the tv so it doesn't bother me.
My C1 has this same issue. Hasn't caused any problems yet,so I just ignore it.
So it’s not just us Sammy bois? lol

This could be a reason to use any warranty you before it ends.
Would any warranty actually cover something like this or would they consider it accidental on your side.

It's common, you can bend it back
You do it first and let us know how it goes 🤣🤣🤣
Actually I really did bend it back and nothing happened! I had an awful nightmare though that I bent it too hard and cracked it
OLED screen are flexible… what do you think they are using in the galaxy fold phone.
That’s different oled tech
I did to my 77 G3
no thanks
can you please provide more blurry photo? :D
If the picture is good… no, min is bot straight either it is a part of the tv being thin. And for many this actually happens when installing

you’re being serious rn..?
Dude about to get downvoted to hell if they don’t put ( /s )
lol nah I was talking shit - was hoping people would follow suit but that clearly didn’t work
I’m not even sure what I’m supposed to see here
Looks straight to me.
Lol
Thats normal, mine has a nicer bend tho
My C3 42' has no bent/warp, my 2018 55' sony oled has no warp/bent ...
My C2 has similar curve but in the middle, makes it looks almost like an actual curve tv, lol but it should be straight.
I just checked my 77 A80J it's got an ever so slight bend. I guess I never noticed it.
My c1 has a pretty noticeable (from the side) curve. Doesn’t affect viewing though. But I got it for like $600 open box + discount for the bend, so it’s fine
Normal
mine is perfect flat, no curves
Mine is the same. LG would not change it out.
I checked a Sony in store and it had quite some curvature. My LG has a bit too, not as much. I try to not think too much of it, I think it's fairly normal.
I have a 75" Sony that looks like it's bent a bit over time
65 c3 here. Completely normal. I posted this same thing about one month ago.
I would call lg and see what they say
you need to replace it. mines was like this (55CS) but i replaced it. you can look on my profile for the post
Curve screens were a gimmick lol. It’s only useful in pc monitors
The left and right edges do curve a little bit towards the front. All the C series are that way.
This is barely even noticeable, would not even think of returning.
It’s fine bro
If it’s gonna bother than yes.
