Curved TVs

[Brian Gaff]

Actually, most of the later crts were in fact more or less flat in the front, and the image changed to look right. Brian

:) But dahling, the radius is wrong

[polygonum]

Didn't radius do landscape-to-portrait flipping monitors...? Now having flippable curvature could be interesting.

Sony Trinitrons were flat with very heavy glass in front. Shadow mask tubes relied on the curvature of the screen for strength.

They won't let him out unaccompanied...

Shadow mask tubes used the curvature for phosphor dot positioning. Strength was a by product and enabled thinner glass to be used but leaded glass was used to reduce radiation I think. IIRC trinitron tubes had curvature in one direction only, but less than triangulated gun tubes.

Why would you want a TV?

There was also the FST "Flatter Squarer Tube", I don't know which manufacturer registered that.

When people talk glibly of flat screen TVs it amuses me to wonder if they mean a bulky FST CRT.

For which many may be thankful. :-)

[Bod]

Brings a new meaning to buying a bent tv.

Probebly just around the corner. OLED screens are intrinsically flexible

It just doesn't go with the Chaise Longue.

[Uncle Peter]

No, they're just old fashioned.

Your carers?

[Uncle Peter]

I wouldn't call them that, they let me tie them up.

[Uncle Peter]

No idea. Mine hasn't been switched on for a couple of years.

[Uncle Peter]

Contrary to what they might think, the BBC is not all.

[Uncle Peter]

You're going to need to prove that.
