At the very end of the CRT Era, they were able to flatten the target area somewhat ("flat CRTs") because the control sophistication of the field generators was good enough to compensate for the distortion of a radial spray onto a relatively flat surface.
And no, I don't miss CRTs at all.  |
Oh thanks! I wonder if the first monitor designs where hemisphere xD
I just remember how when I was a kid and smashed open a CRT monitor that someone threw out with a hammer and my dad yelled at me for touching the stuff inside lol XD
