... the manuafacturer that has a cylindrical sectored screen (otherwise termed a 1-way flat screen). That is the profile appears flat, but the curvature is readily apparent if looking down from the top view. Unfortunately, I've never developed a tolerance for that style tube. My mind keeps trying to flatten the screen & the result renders an optical illusion of saddling the screen. The height of the screen in the center seems to shorten to me. I have a 4 year old 25" monitor on my SGI at work that I never got used to, that still does that to me.
