Flat is just that, not curved. the tube is flat.

Widescreen is in a ratio of 16:9 not 4:3.

Regular tube is what most tv's are, they are not projection tv's.

I think you're confused. Flatscreen/regular refer to the "roundness" of the screen viewed from the side. Flatscreens can help reduce light reflections. Widescreen and, regular I guess, refer to the rectangular shape when viewed from the front. Widescreen is 16x9 and regular is 4x3. Read the first two threads in the forum!
