Need help deciding between two TV's

[RavagedOsiris]

These are the two models I'm looking at.
UN55KS8000

UN55KS8500

 

I'll be using it for gaming and other things, like netflix/hulu a lot.  As well as Xbox One and PS4.  I'm trying to get a good idea of how they are for gaming for the most part though, and I have a triple monitor setup, so I was trying to see which one would potentially work/look better mounted above my three monitors.  

 

What do you guys think, flat or curved?  How well do they perform?  And how easy are they to setup to work well for gaming?  Also price isn't a factor considering both have a good deal associated.

I have no experience with curved displays - but personally I'd go for the larger curved screen. Bare in mind that any light glare from outside might be slightly more noticeable with the curved screen though.

I feel like curved TV's is a bit of a gimmick, unless you're always going to be sitting center stage alone i can see it ruining guests viewing experience and becoming annoying after a while. If i were to pick between two identical TV's in terms of quality and size but one is curved and one is flat i'd take the flat all day long.

Light glare won't really be an issue.  Lights in my room are usually set fairly dim, and I have blinds/drapes over my windows so there's not really much outside light if any.

Yeah it's just gonna be in my room for personal use.  It won't really be for guests or anything.  It'll be hanging above my three monitors on my desk, and be pretty much center from my bed and couch.
