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

Correction, it should read: I am wondering IF the new curved screens....
Auto correct strikes again.

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.

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☺️

I think you have hit on some valid points. I really prefer flat and was trying to find a reason to weigh in favor of a curved screen and avoid the stupid speakers Sony has on the best TV I can justify financially. They do have a better TV that is $7K and I want a per amp for that kind of money. I did notice reflection issues on the curved screens and that adds to the annoyance that already exists by its shape.
Bottom line I'm going to continue to seek a flat screen, the question of acoustic advantage or dis-advantage really didn't get answered but my thoughts about the curved screen dislikes were confirmed here and I thank you for your help.

Mribob, thank you for adding the info about the improved soundstage. I had thought it must help, but I have concluded that the glare issue would be a much bigger annoyance. I have pretty much decided to stay flat, I am just waiting for the new models to hit showrooms next month.
