I'm experiencing some monitors in the last time,

from HP, with the effect of some kind of small bubbles or shell-like
failures in the flront part of the crt-tube. Somewhere I read the
description of "screen mold".
Nowadays the consensus is leaning towards a delamination process.
Does someone knows this effect, has an explanation of
it's source (is it
really temperature related?) or how to avoid this problem. Some of these
monitors (esp. of a HP9845) are looking so badly, that I don't dare to
power on.
Most likely it is the protective cover over the CRT which is delaminating
from the CRT face. I don't currently know of a way
to prevent this. It
seems to happen randomly.
