> CRTs do produce radiation, namely X-rays by way of bremsstrahlung due to the electrons getting, well, bremsed at the screen. This is part of the reason why CRTs are heavy (aside from faceplate structural integrity); leaded glass is heavy. True, I didn't want to get into that level of complexity. The electrons are also quite easy to capture with conductive glass. But the bremsstrahlung can be significant.
