    This just triggered a memory of the smell of the TV cooling down Like a metallic smell with crackle of electric in the air. And touching the screen as it cooled down and you could feel little tingles of charge leaping at your fingertips. Thinking back now, fat screens were really weird.

      Perhaps the smell of ozone? CRTs also produced a tremendous amount of static too. I remember playing with the static on my monitor when I was younger. CRTs were pretty cool. Very weird, too.

        If you thought the static on the OUTSIDE was fun… Never disconnect a cathode tube assembly from the power board without discharging EVERYTHING first. It’s lethal. https://youtu.be/a6FMpvs71pc

          I don’t know how to do piped links either. Isn’t there a bot for that? I see it sometimes, but not every time.

            There’s extensions to automatically redirect. Just post the youtube link, piped users can figure out how to get it to pipe.

              This unlocked a memory I had totally forgotten about, I got given an old crt monitor by a friend’s dad in high school who worked on professional animation work and that thing was massive and heavy, but had amazing color and could do some insane max resolution like 2600*1900 on like a 24" screen in like 2008. Had a lot of good times with that monitor, but do not miss lugging it up and down staircases for Lan parties.

              snobpersonproblems but my high-end Sony OLEDs I own do not burn. My old one did, but it would go away after a power down or around 5 seconds of on-screen movement.

                You need to escape the octothorpe with a backslash, otherwise it is interpreted as markdown for a header, and looks like you’re shouting.
