Very neat, the outcome probably isn't what you were hoping for, but it has a beautiful and ethereal quality to it. It's like an art piece. From the photos and video, only a small section of the screen has colour. Does that change as you move around, or is the coloured section static? Off topic, but the visual effect seen here is a lot like how my memories and dreams feel; only the thing I'm currently focussing on has any colour or detail, whilst everything else is muted and fuzzy.

Yeah I would like to improve the effect. I think the main colour region seems to stay the same. I'm wondering if I can get acetate that's ever so slightly adhesive, so it sticks better to the monitor, which I'm wondering might help the colours show better all over.

  Acetate sheets for use on Over-Head Projectors (OHP), used to come on a plain white backing sheet. The top was glossy smooth, and the back was a little tacky; if you can find those ...

  Also curious to know if you can get slightly better color spread by looking at it from far away; I assumed the misaligned light or distortion through the glass might be enough to throw things off if you're working with tolerances as small as it looks. Or, maybe the electron beam scatters more as it's deflected to hit the the outer pixels, possibly giving you a signal too muddy for your magic potato pixels to work with. (these are obviously just vague guesses, I didn't even know this was possible before today)

huh, my memories have full color and some detail, I wonder if thats why I have problems remembering things

  I get full color, smells, taste and sensations. I am annoyed when I get woken up from a good meal. :) (On the flip side, I can technically breath underwater in my dreams, but I feel the water going into my lungs so it isn't pleasant!)
