Default Re: CRT is brighter to one side [Hitachi CTP213]

If delta is a higher resolution, why did CRTs become PIL, or is that just for monitors, which could be capable of a better resolution when the user is closer to the screen?

What sort of mechanical stress can implode them?

I've seen the flat safety glass before, (My Waltham W154 has one)

The safety glass on the TV was bonded to the CRT with adhesive, i can't remember if he was just changing it, cleaning it, or replacing the CRT itself. - it was a round, slightly domed piece of glass, to cover the round CRT.

I never realised that, i always thought they had safety glass - you learn something new everyday


Thanks
