Older monitors had a curved front to the display which meant that the image could appear distorted at the edges ΓÇö especially if you were trying to display lines or drawings. To provide a clearer, sharper image that is not distorted, monitors are now made with a flatter front. This is not quite as easy as it might sound, and requires complex glass-blowing equipment and electronics. If you want to view graphics or drawings as accurately as possible, try to choose a monitor with the flattest screen.
