It's just that it becomes impractical to achieve high angle of coverage (180° for example) for immersive gaming when radius of curvature is much higher than your viewing distance. Even impossible with flat panels.
Samsung S34E790C - equidistant surface at 3 meter distance.
LG 34UC97 - equidistant surface at almost 4 meter distance (3.8).
Average Eyefinity / Surround setup - equidistant at ~1 meter distance.
What's the point of making a monitor where every point (horizontally) is at the same distance from you...
...only when you're sitting 3 meters (that's what "3000R" from announcements is) away?
Jesus Christ, standard viewing distance is ~70 cm. Bend it accordingly, not this bullshit.
Aging of the white element could cause a color shift.You take for granted that aging of the white element causes only a decrease in luminance while color temperature of the white element might change as well.
But wouldn't you rather buy our new shiny edition after a few years?
Now seriously, do you consider non-organic LED to be true CRT replacement, something like Sony's Crystal LED?
Then you most likely haven't used a TV for PC gaming / image manipulation. Tricks and intentional(?) limitation. All...
Would you rather have something like this (in form of projector & screen, LCD, OLED, whatever)
or a 32'' 4K display?
What is the end-game of displays for you? Is it full immersion and total FOV coverage?

I agree with Brian Hauer here who has a priority list for desktop display features .
Displays need to fill as much of my field of view as possible. This means I won't stop until I have a 360 dome.
You're doubleclick away from immersive worlds.
I think the evolution of display comparisons, size-wise, goes like this.
Compare diagonals. Problem: different aspect ratios.
Compare total screen area. Problem: FOV coverage not growing linearly with total area.
Final solution: compare total angular area (FOV coverage) of the screen in square...
A cup of laziness + pinch of incompetence + 2 gallons of greed = current state of displays.
What do your reckon a board found in those high-end monitors / TVs costs? This is just pathetic.
Imagine I need a lot of storage for my desktop. Terabytes and terabytes of storage. All I have to do...
In the terms of apparent size (FOV coverage), 24-inch viewed from 70 cm is comparable to 105-inch display viewed from 10 ft. Both are covering ~42° horizontally.
Anyway, you want anything lower than 2 arcminutes per pixel. At 10 ft, that's 15 PPI or higher.
No. That's 0.7 arcminutes per pixel...
