Last week a couple of colleagues and I opened an old VGA CRT monitor to try to fix the broken front control buttons. One of my colleagues started his career as a TV repair technician, so he knows how to do it safely, but even then running a CRT without the case is scary as hell. Anyway, the more I learn about CRTs, the more magical they seem to me. It's incredible what very smart engineers were able to accomplish decades ago with only analog technology!
