While some people may have been smitten with the gigantic [Samsung S9 UHD 4K](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-s9-uhd-4k-tv) television, its bent brother is much more impressive. Both were recently unveiled during the 2013 Consumer Electronic Show, proving exactly why it is the televisions that always steal the spotlight. Of course, in this case it can be argued that Samsung is the one doing all the stealing. Measuring 55 inches, the Samsung Curved OLED TV is set to be released in the second half of the year. Boasting [IMAX-like fields of view](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-magnit-active-micro-led-tv), it offers an illusion of 3D imagery. Interestingly, the bend of the Samsung Curved OLED TV isn't as pronounced as the pictures make it appear, giving it a more subtle effect. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Curved OLED Televisions:** A trend in television technology that offers an immersive viewing experience with a subtle bending effect. - **Imax-like Fields of View:** A trend in display technology that provides viewers with a larger, more immersive visual experience. - **3D Imagery Illusion:** A trend in television design that creates the illusion of three-dimensional imagery without the need for special glasses. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** An industry that can capitalize on the demand for curved OLED televisions and IMAX-like fields of view technology. - **Television Manufacturing:** An industry that can innovate by incorporating curved OLED technology and 3D imagery illusion into their product offerings. - **Home Theater Systems:** An industry that can enhance the immersive viewing experience by integrating curved OLED televisions and IMAX-like fields of view technology into their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transparent OLED Premium Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-oled-t-smart-tv.md) - [Bendable OLED TV Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-oled-flex.md) - [Shapeshifting Transformable OLED TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skyworth-w82-oled-tv.md) - [Wall-Sized Premium 4K Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4k-qled-tv.md) - [Malleable Furniture-Like TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexible-oled-display.md) - [Wireless Transparent Oled TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-signature-oled-t.md) - [Brightness-Enhanced TV Screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-display.md) - [97-Inch Flat Screen TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/97inch-g2.md) - [High-End Upscaled Televisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oled-s95b.md)
