It's a flat faced CRT though.

I know they must have made some high end Standard Definition Trinitrons (maybe XBR) with Component, I used to see them at the local Video Store right before true HD took off.

The distortion you are seeing may be your eyes playing tricks on you.
When I got my first flat faced CRT Monitor it looked pincushioned to me but it was just that I was used to watching a picture that was bulged outward.
Yes, most of the WEGA flat tube sets had component, except for the cheapest versions. I think there were a few 32" XBR curved face sets with component video, but I'm not sure about that. I'd have to look at some manuals. RCA had a line of 16:9 curved face CRT sets with component inputs in the 90s.
