First there were "FST" (flatter, squarer tube) TVs; many of these had a separate glass plate in front of the tube for cosmetic reasons.
Then everything went to vertically-flat screens, as these preserve the straightness of horizontal and vertical lines.
I have one of the last wave of CRT monitors, which is almost flat; the front of the tube is flat, but you can just see that the inside surface is still slightly curved.
If you are doing it in software, then you should be able to flip your monitors through the video card settings you are feeding them with. If your feed is not from the PC video card, I doubt that you will flip your TV display any time soon.
So what does the software control? A box with three separate TV out signals from one in? Your video cards?
I would flip it in your video card setting dialog, then rung the software.
Not on the Sony tubes that most of the industry used right before the LCD changeover (if they had any brains).
My ViewSonic 19" pure flat is a very nice optically coated perfectly flat screen, and the inside surface is flat all the way out to the edge fringes. I would still use it as it was very nice, except for the consumption rate, and the per kW/Hr rate not being good friends.
The damndest thing about it is that I got it for like $179.00, which was a real nice price. LCDs cost them less to make, but they gouge the piss out of us for them. The 24 to 26 inch variety should be at $200 each right now, but they are twice that.
I shouldn't complain. My first monitor was a ViewSonic 15" at 0.25 mm dot pitch. It was sweet, till it failed less than a year later. The reason I shouldn't complain is because that monitor cost me $550!
Folks these days get so much more for so much less. Nobody should complain about any prices these days.
If you look at it, the $400 i7 motherboard IS worth that price, when one examines all the stuff they put on it!
Video cards could be a bit cheaper, but jeez, even those have a LOT packed onto them compared to the trident 1MB VGA cards we were so hot to get one of.
Wow... electronics is the greatest science ever! Then computers... then pool... then astronomy. :-)
