I think that's prejudice. Science Fiction is not all about lasers and spaceships in pulp fiction settings. Authors actually check their "science" part. What about Arthur C. Clarke?
The inventors of the first American satelite couldn't get it patented since Clarke had described it so detailed twenty years or so prior to its creation.
So the angle decides whatever you want to watch. What if your wife (to the left) is watching homecooking shows and you're watching Baywatch, and you want to change position? I mean, serious "TV-leeching" requires some movement every now and then. How bothering wouldn't it be if someone just changed the channel while you adjusted the pillow, which would be the equivalent.
Alot of third world countries either import or recieve as aid "outdated" hardware (and software). I think it'll be a long time until the CRTs completely disappear from the personal computer setup in counries like, say, Sudan.
One example of organizations shipping to third world countries, is the Norwegian FAIR: FAIR (en)

Can't be good for your neck.
Where's the lounge? And the panorama windows? And the girls in funny hats serving drinks with umbrellas?
This future sucks!
