One connects to all of your devices and accesses the data, the other is a hardware standard.

Didn't they keep touting that as "unlimited" not long ago... and it dropped back to 5GB before they even finished rolling out the fake "unlimited"?

I kinda want one of these. No idea where but... somewhere...

I have a curved monitor. I gave it to @Mike-Ralston I hated to work on it. Now gaming or movie watching it was awesome.

I think curve is just a gimmick right now.. it will fade in a few years.. .just like 3d in the home will fade again.

Big screens get far away when you swivel your head.

I'm ready for VR, that won't make me sick... I need to invest in a PC that will run it but I think that would be awesome.

@Dashrender IDK the curved screens are pretty awesome and offer a better picture for a lot of things you'd do with them.
I don't know about for working on an Excel document or drafting letters / emails.
Although, maybe it is just a Fade, as I haven't seen any 4K (and up TV's) that are also curved...

Problem with VR is that to keep your eyes happy you need to constantly look out of the window and do stuff without your monitor following your gaze. VR works fine today, just make everything 2D on it. A VR monitor that is flat won't make you sick.

curved offers a better picture? in what way? I suppose one could argue that if you are dead center in the correct spot you could be looking at the screen at the same angle from all pixels on the screen. This would only be a selling point on a computer monitor, definitely not a TV, since TV watching isn't really a single person thing, save for maybe small screens.
You haven't seen any 4K TVs that are curved? So you haven't seen Samsung's curved TVs?

By letting your eyes see it all at once. That's why movie theatre screens are curved.

@Dashrender I haven't, I didn't even know Samsung had a combined 4K and curved unit.
I knew the curved displays that are out supported 1080p, but not above it.

I've pretty much only seen curved 4K and higher. I'm sure I've seen a flat one somewhere, but can't remember having seen it. If someone says 4K, I would just assume that it was curved unless stated otherwise.
Even airport displays (Mexico City last year, I remember) are curved and 3-4 years everything I see at places like Best Buy are curved. Even a lot of the Walmart stuff.

Interesting - I"m sure you're memory is better than mine, but the only curve stuff I recall is specifically Samsung. The last time I checked Vizio didn't sell any curved TVs, and they do sell tons of 4K TVs.
