Which of these shapes for a screen shape draws you in more, envelopes you in the scene rather than your eye noticing the outer shape of the frame of the window? We are conditioned to regard a rectangle (with hard 45 degree edges) as the vehicle we use to exclude the outside world. Using any other shape makes your brain work harder to omit the distraction of any outer border shape that is not a rectangle, to not see the whole thing as an object rather than a window. Its possible of course to do this, our brains are amazing things. But it is still an annoying little hurdle I wish I didn't have to deal with
