Samsung’s 85-inch bendable friend: A curved 4K OLED TV that’s also a flatscreen

If you’re still on the fence when it comes to opting for a flat or a curved 4K TV, then Samsung’s bendable folding TV concept might be for you. 

Viewers will be able to get the best of both worlds thanks to the flexible OLED screen, which bends and changes shape at the touch of a button. 

The emerging concave TV screens arguably provide a more immersive and cinematic viewing experience in the home.

This is fine if you’re watching something on your own, or with another person. But the sweet spot where you’re required to sit in order to get all this immersive loveliness means curved screens are less well suited for families or groups of friends.
