Misconvergence and geometry in general is really only a problem with low end models or large tubes.

From the 1980's to 1990's I had a 13" Seiko Trinitron, then a Mag 15", then ViewSonic 17". None were low end. All had misconvergence and geometry problems at their highest resolution.

If you only game on it you'll never notice. But I coded and played with CAD for fun. There was no adjustment, even with opening up and adjusting the tube chokes (which I did) that could get every corner perfectly converged and have absolutely perfect straight lines on all sides simultaneously.

Software compensation does exist, if you want to give it a blast

You can simulate misconverged pixels with filters but I don't see how the reverse is possible in software. Could you link to the software?
