Questioning The Curve

There's something I saw last night as I was watching the San Antonio Spurs win the NBA Championship last night.  It was one of the many commercials promoting a product that, when I saw it, I was befuddled by.

The commercial was for a curved TV being put out by Samsung.  After watching this commercial I asked the following question on Twitter:

I ask again, why do we need curved TVs? I've been told it's wrong to think it's so men could have a TV shaped like their dick. So, why?

As I mentioned, this is a question I've asked before, and I have yet to receive a positive response to this question.  This includes three replies I received last night.  The first was from @realwifex:

@Redertainment I was just asking the same thing at bestbuy! I don't get it either!

The second was from @The_Baconbitz, and I don't quite understand this:

The third reply I received, on Facebook from Ray Guy, was more substantive in nature and seemed to approach the question seriously.

Ray Guy I don't see the point, if you curve it inward you lose inches of screen, and in a living room I would think you would lose viewing from angles.

The question still stands, and I am open to getting a positive response to it.  Just make the argument if you can.  Why do we need curved TVs?  Seriously, why?
