Flat-to-curved screens have an identity crisis

this was my first thought. Bendable technology doesn't just mean curved viewing, it has some really cool pratical uses like this roll-y up thing. You could also imagine one from the ceiling like a garage door. No more wall mounted TVs plz

Like a retractable screen+projector, but no need for a projector. Sound nice.

Sounds like a lot of expense, work and fragility for very little benefit to me.

not having extremely hot bulbs and still mediocre brightness, plus probably a couple orders of magnitude less power at higher resolution, and less ghosting at faster response time?

plenty of benefits, imo. projectors universally suck, in my experience.

I was comparing against a normal TV.

Ceiling version is an interesting idea, thought impractical: it will need some additional mechanics to achieve a non-neck-bending view angle even for low ceilings.
