TV between speakers: Curved Screen TV, help? Hurt?

I don't think that having a curved screen would help. I've gone so far as to drape a nice army surplus wool blanket over my plasma flatscreen and it really works. The trouble is I'm lazy and stopped using it and just gotten used to it.

Positioning the speakers so that the drivers are out in front of anything between them would help matters as well.

I must add that my situation is not ideal to wall mounting the TV. I have a room that really limits placement of all involved equipment. I do love my music and also enjoy TV viewing as well. So, I am trying to maximize speaker performance given the parameters of my confines. I can appreciate a dedicated room, just can't afford one. Thank you for your suggestions so far.
Mapman, I agree that the curved screen isn't my first choice. But so far in my research the TV that I like best (budget worthy) is the X900B, but hate the side speakers. So I am looking at Samsung as an option, but again the curved screen seems a little distracting and somewhat "gimmicky" to me.
Although they produce a great picture. At the end of the day if Panasonic still offered plasma, I would live with 1080p and forget 4K. But I think it takes 4K LCD to compete with plasma, except blacks.

Samsung also offers traditional flat screen TVs as well as the curved ones. They usually go for less. My situation is similar to yours as I have to have it all in the same room. Like I said, try to keep the drivers of the speakers out if front of everything and you should be okay.

All the best,

Thanks Nonoise, I have looked at the Samsung line up and they seem to
be investing their best tech on curved screens. I do have my speakers out
front as you suggest. I still get a reflection that I can reduce with an
acoustic panel I made to place in front of the TV. But being from the 70's I
have that need to have the TV on while listening☺️

Theo, I'm from the same era and do the same thing. Funny that.
