People spend a lot of time talking about how good a picture their
TV has and how much better they want the picture of their next TV to be. But
not a lot of time is spent talking about what the TV itself should look like.
Considering that a television becomes the focal point of any room it's
placed into, discussing what it will look like and how it will affect the
room's decor should be a no-brainer. But it's not.
The reason for this is very 20th Century -- after all, it wasn't
until the appearance of the flat panel that there was any choice in having a TV
NOT be big and cumbersome. But once "thin" became "in" for
TVs (i.e., losing the TV's chunky cathode tube), everybody decided that having
a flat panel meant every TV you could purchase would
at least look, if not perform, the same. And that the room the TV got placed in
would have to adapt to the TV and that was it.
That kind of thinking was wrong and still is. TVs don't all look the same and that's a good thing
-- because not every room is the same as every other room. But differences in
the TV's physical appearance is more subtle today. So that's why it's time to
revisit the choices that can be made.

THE TVs SHAPE
Ever notice how round shapes are more enticing than squares?
Psychology aside, there's something to be said for breaking out from the
standard "flat" view of a TV, especially when it's not turned on. So
say hello to curved TVs. These televisions have a subtle
"bending" at their extremes which is designed to create a more
immersive viewing experience. That's when the TV is on. But when it's off, the
curved shape attracts and intrigues the eye in a way that "flat" does
not. And through placement in a room, a curved TV can extend this welcoming view to those
entering a room, even if the effect does not "shout" out what it's
doing. The TV ceases to be a "wall" and can become a positive element
of the room's total "look."
