Hello BYOAC. I am not sure if this has been discussed before. My search results did show one thread who briefly touched upon this, but that's about all I could find.

I am currently looking to replace my tube television for my cab with a newer one. I was wondering if flat tv's are more susceptible to image distortion than rounded ones. My cab does monitor rotation.

The thread I found (link) had someone thinking it might be possible because of the shape. What do you guys think?

they do require slightly different sweep and convergence circuitry to compensate for the size/shape . ( part of the design)

otherwise , i'd think there is little operating difference.

I remember hearing about this some years ago. From the state of things, I'd say it was rectified long ago. Mine's great.
