They are most widely used in televisions, where the quality of the picture is important, first of all. At first glance, it may seem that this is just a tribute to style, but such displays have a number of significant advantages. Curved TV screens create an optical illusion in which a person's peripheral vision begins to work actively, and the image is perceived more realistic.

2 Samsung UE40S9AU

The elegant and chic design by default can be listed in the main advantages of this TV. The silver color with metal frame makes the look modern, attractive and versatile for any space. SMART TV technology is fast. The internal drive in NTFS format also does not fail during operation. Satellite channels are switched in 1-3 seconds after pressing, it all depends on the signal strength.

There is no technology to support Nano Crystal Color SUHD Remastering Engine and HDR. Even with prolonged use, it perfectly picks up the Wi-Fi signal. In addition to modern films, you can watch old films on it without losing quality, so even hits of the 50-60s will look as if they just came out of the box office. The One Connect connector is also pleasing, where all the necessary ports are concentrated, so you do not need to waste time looking for the right port on the rear of the case. The connection cord has a controversial 1 meter in length and it may seem a little to some.

Two loudspeakers with a total power of 16 watts produce a spacious and pleasant sound. There is also support for such formats as MP3, WMA, MPEG4, HEVC (H.265), MKV and JPEG. In general, this is a very solid TV, except for a couple of "buts" - the Chinese interface and the difficulty in setting up.

3 LG OLED55C6V

LG OLED55C6V 4K TV ranks as the third best curved TV. The picture of this device from the South Korean manufacturer of household appliances is considered one of the highest quality and brightest. This is achieved thanks to the OLED matrix, which uses a special diode to form the image. This design provides consistent image quality from all viewing angles. In addition, the TV supports 3D, which greatly expands the capabilities of this device. In terms of working with multimedia, the model has no problems - all popular formats are reproduced.

2 Sony KD-55S8505C

The second place in the ranking of the best 55-inch curved 4K TVs is taken by the model of one of the flagship of the field - Sony. Despite the fairly long time it entered the market, the picture looks great to this day. The viewing angles of the screen are about 170 degrees, the colors are juicy, the brightness is quite enough. In the reviews, users do not say a word about the unevenness of the backlight, and this is very good. It is worth noting the presence of proprietary technology Motionflow XR 800Hz. It adds "intermediate" frames to make the picture look smoother. Sports fans will definitely love it.

Of course there is SmartTV. The operating system is AndroidTV. At the moment, it is this system that has the largest application library and the widest possibilities. True, some users note system freezes. This problem is "treated" by a simple reboot. A complete list of television standards is supported. The audio system includes a pair of 10W speakers. A sophisticated user is unlikely to satisfy, therefore we recommend that you immediately look at a high-quality speaker system.

1 Samsung UE55MU6300U

The leader from Samsung is living proof of the thesis that technologies are becoming more accessible every year. The 2017 model (competitors were presented in 2015-2016) has even better performance at half (!) The cost. Like the models listed above, the UE55MU6300U has a 55-inch 4K display. But in addition to this, there is support for HDR - a technology that increases dynamic contrast. Thanks to her, the picture looks more voluminous, realistic. You can only find fault with the refresh rate - 50 Hz.

SmartTV runs on the proprietary Tizen operating system. It works quickly, most of the necessary applications are there, but no frills. Among the features, in addition to the already familiar 24p True Cinema, TimeShift functions, etc., we note the presence of a light sensor. Thanks to him, the brightness will always be comfortable: during the day - maximum, at night - will decrease to minimum values. In the reviews, users note the good quality and high volume of the built-in speaker system, despite the low power of 20 watts.

Best 4K curved TVs: 65-inch diagonal

3 LG OLED65C6V

LG OLED65C6V is the flagship model from the South Korean brand LG OLED65C6V. Despite the use of OLED technology, the cost of the device is slightly higher than the prices of competitors in the TOP-3. 4K widescreen resolution with HDR support ensures high detail of the transmitted image. The function of converting 2D images to 3D will pleasantly surprise the fans of 3D TV. The intelligent operating system webOS will allow the TV to be used as a full-fledged multimedia center with Internet access.

Among all the representatives of the rating, the model has the most modest sound equipment, but this does not prevent the TV from delighting the user with good sound - thanks to the automatic volume leveling function and 4 speakers, a home theater effect is achieved. The device supports Wi-Fi and has 3 HDMI outputs for high definition image transmission. Optical audio input will allow you to transmit audio signal not only analog, but also digital.

2 Sony KD-65SD8505

Sony's TV primarily stands out for its minimalist design: apart from a large 65-inch curved display and a simple aluminum stand, the user does not see anything. And this is right, because besides the case, there is something to enjoy - the 4K resolution picture is one of the best on the market. There is HDR support. As in the case of the KD-55S8505C discussed above, Motionflow XR technology is supported, but with a frequency of 1000 Hz. We again recommend this model to sports fans. Support for modern television standards, video recording to removable media, support for Dolby Digital - these and many other functions, of course, are present.

Android TV is used as the operating system for SmartTV, the advantages of which we have already discussed. The speakers produce only 20 watts in total, but surround sound is supported. And the sound quality can hardly be called bad. Considering the very affordable price for such a large TV, we can call the KD-65SD8505 one of the best in its class.

1 Samsung QE65Q7CAM

The most unusual selection model becomes the leader of the category. The absence of connectors on the back surface of the device immediately catches your eye - only one cable goes from the TV, hidden in the leg. It connects to the One Connect Box, which contains all the necessary ports. The second cardinal difference of the QE65Q7CAM is the screen. Yes, like the previous participants, it is 65 inches, with 4K UltraHD resolution with HDR support, but the matrix itself is different. It uses the latest development called QLED. Of course, there was no miracle - the picture has flaws. In particular, when displaying bright elements against a dark background, glare is observed, but judging by user reviews, these shortcomings are invisible in real use. This is essentially an improved OLED, with richer colors and higher brightness. Of the minuses - not the deepest black color.

Among other features, we note a good sound: there are 4 speakers with a total power of 40 W and a subwoofer. Also, users will be pleased with the huge list of connectors on the external unit and support for the most modern wireless standards.
