AHEAD OF THE CURVE

FORGET flatscreens, this Samsung HU8500 model — with a 55in Ultra-HD screen — is said to make watching TV ‘more immersing’. While some critics argue you ideally need to sit in the ‘sweet spot’ — bang in the middle rather than to the side — the curvy shape certainly looks impressive in your living room. What’s more, the MultiView option means two people can watch two completely different things at the same time (while wearing special glasses). So, no more arguments if one of you fancies Wimbledon while the other wants to watch a DVD.
