Last year was the year of curvy TVs. In 2015, concave screens will be less pronounced in the world of TV sets, but Samsung is bringing those curves closer to your eyeballs. It seems right. Curvy works best when it s right in front of your face, to get jiggy with your peripheral vision.
The new Ativ One 7 Curved is an all in one PC with a 27-inch screen. That matches the size of the 5K iMac, but its 1080p display doesn t match the resolution. Instead, the Ativ One 7 has a curved 300-nit LED screen, giving users a slight immersive effect when they re playing games or watching movies.
Let s talk specifications. The concave 27-incher packs a 2.2GHz Core i5 with 8GB RAM and integrated graphics, a 1TB flash drive, a pair of 10W speakers, and a 1080p Webcam. It runs Windows 8.1 and is about an inch and a half deep. They are clearly more modest specifications than the UHD iMac, and the price matches up. Due in the 1st quarter of the year, it s priced at $1,300.
