I definitely notice a difference on my LG 4K OLED, curved screen. I don't have the required distance for a flat panel screen, so i got curved, as it requires less distance to be away from the tv to view.

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.
