I believe the same would happen if they were much bigger: the issue is how much they limit the field of vision. If a monitor is wider than our field, then the shape of its edges is irrelevant.

I.e. I doubt that the rectangle shape of (big) classroom blackboards limited the use of oval Venn diagrams and the like.
