Faux-CRT monitor designed to pair up with retro mini PCs to recreate CRT feeling — cute 8-incher puts retro design first by shoving a 60 Hz LCD panel behind a curved acrylic sheet (www.tomshardware.com)

Back when Twitter existed, I followed some guy who DIY'd exactly this. The acrylic glass acted like a lens, so it didn't look curved, the effect was more like a Game Boy with the magnifying glass attachment.

I've toyed with the idea of buying a flexible AMOLED screen from Aliexpress and putting it on a curved 3d printed frame, so I can have real screen curvature. But they still cost ~1k€ for 13", way too much for a shits-and-giggles-project.
