Is this related to what I am about to ask? Could somebody do a short
summary of why Fimi(?) greyscale megapixel NeXT monitors fade after
20,000 or so hours of use and indicate whether there are any other
monitors (perhaps some classic) that show similar problems?

Yes,
"getter" is the word.
Spefically, the getter is the wierd looking bit of metal that is near the
silverly coating on the tube, whose job is to get the residual and trapped
gas during manufacture. The keeper is the actual silvery coating, whose
job is to keep the oxygen in a state so it can not get rereleased.
