I found what I thought would make a nice spare Trinitron monitor, but
there is a tiny pinhole chunk of the glass chipped out on the surface,
about maybe 1.5 mm deep with a diameter of 4mm. Against better
judgement, I switched it on (from a safe distance) and it appears to
function properly.
My question is, how stable is it? Other than the visual defect, is it
safe to operate the monitor, or should I be worried that it will swiftly
implode at any moment?
