A:Answer I have the flat panel version of the TV you asked about. I just reviewed it. I would look at both if possible and pick what would give you the best picture in your environment. The flat picture works better for me. As far as quality, I would think they would be the same, but again ask someone. You won’t go wrong. If the curved TV is not a QLED then you need to be looking at the 9000 series to get a comparable picture. I have one of each and I personally would pick the 9000 over the QLED.
