LG Curved TV
LG's new £8,000 curved OLED TV lets more of you huddle around the box and delivers an amazing picture. Yes, it's curved, but that isn't just a sci-fi pipedream: the idea behind curving this 55-inch display is to make sure that the distance from the centre to the corner of the display remains the same. If you're sitting in the sweet spot, the screen delivers the perfect viewing angle. £8,000, LG.
