Default Re: CRT is brighter to one side

I believe that the ultrasonic frequencies of some of the early TV remotes lie in the range used by bats. There was a letter in I think the "New Scientist" in that era from a reader who noticed that a moth took rapid evasive action when he changed channel, and found that using the remote to tease moths was often more interesting than watching the then-current offerings on TV!
