A weird and quirky idea - CRT shaped glass/acrylic slab for LCD screens.

Let me ask this.  What goal are you trying to reach by doing this?  Is it for the sake of doing it or are you just sick of finding CRT monitors since they are becoming so rare?

What about starting with a thick slab and shaping it? It could be machined/cnc cut and then polished

The reason I do everything 'I wonder if this will work'  :lol

I just like the idea that there may be a possible new option out there for builders to try and recreate that CRT feel when one isn't available or practical for their project. Imagine being able to build a 25" 'CeeAreTee' (Copyright my brain) screen into an ultra slim full sized cab - all the advantages without the footprint.

I tried the 'I wonder if this will work' method once and got slapped.   :lol

I got it!  We are working backwords!  Just bend the LCD!  Now that is a brain patent. 

Too late.

If it's right up against the LCD, I guess there's a chance it wouldn't look horribly distorted.

For that price it would be worth an experiment just for fun, although you'd need something a bit bigger to experiment with a common size 4:3 LCD like a 17" or 19". Hell I have a 23.1" 4:3 Planar sitting in my garage, it would be fun to see if I could get that to look all CeeAreTee Copyright JGD Brain Labs Inc. LLC .Org
