What's up with my crt?

its the graphite/phosphor coating and if its breaking away then the screen is toast

if its on the outside of the glass its probably just an anti glare coating or something, in which case you can totally remove it

It's only the anti-glare coating. Should be safe to remove. But it takes quite a while to get rid of that shit.

That seems to be the case, image displays fine in the area without it. I think it may also have some anti static properties though.

Oh yeah... that's a side effect. Screen will be more static and screen will be 15% more brighter. But you can knock the brightness down from the OSD.

Can we see the end results when you are done?

Isnt that the anti-cancer-ray coating? I would not mess with crt coating in your place.

Seems like that anti-cancer-ray coating didn't do the job. And you posted in this thread.

Probably going to finish tomorrow, need to get a scrubby sponge to make this go faster.

Was going to kill myself anyway.

You will not die anon. I promise. I've done this before on some Dell monitor with the same issue. If the coating is from the outside you have nothing to worry about.

>>61237301
You can try the steel wool ones. They might work better than the sponge. Just a tip.

>using steel wool on a CRT monitor
enjoy your mustard gas

>>61237288
Ah, yes as I understood from wiki, lead glass took care of those.

>>61237378
steel wool may damage the glass
a scrubby sponge and acetone will strip that shit off fairly fast

If you are pushing too hard then sure.

I dunno, Jamal.
Maybe smear some of your nigger skin onto it, that'll make the white marks go away.
