I have a 42 inch curved. The curved screen is very clear and everything is the same size all the way from left to right. Previously I had a 42 in flat screen (which I gave to my kid who loves it), but the problem I had was that as I age, my eyesight isn't able to refocus as quickly so I had to actually move my chair over to see things on the far left or right.
The curved screen resolved that issue because no matter where I look it appears to be the same size and is clear without moving even my head very much. With a smaller screen (say 30 or 32 inch), I don't think it would be as big a deal because the distance from side to side isn't really enough to cause any distortion. I think going to 49 inches would almost require it to be curved to be usable as something to program with. With a big screen TV you are far enough back from it that you don't see any real issues, but sitting just a couple feet away makes a really big difference.
