That's an odd one!
I wonder what the size limit was on the Lollypop CRT's as used in the Sony Watchmans?
I suppose like any CRT the flat face would have to get exponentially thicker to withstand the pressure on it and it would weigh 200 lbs at 36 inches, it probably wouldn't be all that flat at that size either.

The GE sets mentioned above were probably their Slimline models, they used a 110 or 114 degree CRT, conventional tube but quite thin for the time.
