While we're talking about CRTs, I want to ask if
anyone has heard of
any problems with Digital VGA monitors, about 4 years old. We
installed a lab full of them, and when I turned them on, two lost the
magic white smoke, and more have various other problems.
My experience with DEC monitors is somewhat earlier on vaxstations, and THEY
had a reputation for smoking. I smoked one. It went on working but quietly
was venting smoke almost directly into an air handler intake duct so we thought
we had a fire on another floor. It took me a while before I noticed the smoke
rising out of my monitor.
