Someone likely lied to you. The "recommended distance" is a type of lie. It is actually reverse. It is more like the closer you are to the TV the more resolution or smaller screen you need. The curved screen was a type of marketing stunt with the added down side of being less optimal for people outside of the center of projection of the TV. I sit very close to my TV (5ft) and it is 65", so less than 4K I can even see "dots" on the image. It is flat and I have no issue, I still have corners on my view and could go for perhaps even 85-100" on same distance on 8k. For some days when I bought a projector to my condominium I was testing it, and I had full wall (over 200") playing Shadow of Mordor, I was like 8ft away or less and it was just fantastic. Similarly I use the PSVR to play some non VR game and depending on the game I use small or large screen (one I can see the corners as if watching a 120" screen other it seems like 300" and I lose corners - need small head turns to look there) and my only complain on playing like this is that the resolution is too small so I can see the pixels to clearly, VR will be just fantastic on 8K. |
The tv that i'm talking about, is for me and only me, to use. The curve definitely helps me be centered better, to the screen, even more than when i had my previous flat tv, which was 10" smaller.
