Just returned from Harrah's Laughlin where I
ran into a VP machine with a concave screen.The hand
being dealt around my head made me uncomfortable
so I did not play much.How do others who have
ran into this machines feel?Errors?

Four Queens is installing flat screens which are so very much brighter and colors sharper as well as the image being bigger. Very nice improvement.

I think you mean the screen was convex. I have yet to
see a concave monitor - though the idea intrigues me.
Off to the patent office I go...

Are you sure he didn't mean curvilinear? I'm thinking
VP Imax.

Traditional CRTs are convex.

  I have yet to see a concave monitor

I suspect he hasn't either. After looking at convex CRTs for years and
years, newer flat panels can seem concave. For me, it took a while for the
illusion to go away.
