Scratched glass on monitor

[Andy Cuffe]

Maybe on your planet. Not here on Earth.

I've seen lots of monitors that were built this way. Most Sony
monitors made in the last 7 years or so are like this. Mitsubishi
also used this method for their monitor CRTs. Most cheaper monitors
just have the CRT face slightly frosted. Older expensive ones had the
AR coating applied directly to the CRT.

Yes, I have had to pull off the plastic film off the face of a large
number of computer monitors crts in order to make them useable again in
this way.

I am not sure what computer crt monitors you use, but every brand I
have encountered has the antiglare layer right on the front glass.
Even Sam Goldwasser pointed out that the polish would make a mess of
this layer in an earlier post.

I don't know what this guy knows about electronics, but he has been
posting a lot of crap on a support NG for sleep apnea and claims to be a
sleep technician but tries to talk more like a doctor!

You will find everything you wanted to know about me in my old posts
back when I had more time to repair electronics as a side job back when
EE life was good. All long time posters here have had some information
from me in the past, mostly good.

I am not sure why you did not read the latest bio to see where I have
been and where I am now over at the other group.

Actually, he's posted some pretty helpful stuff.

He talks like a med tech because...well. If it's that important, he's
posted the story of his professional quals over there.

I don't think there's any reason to dismiss his expertise because he
posts in two ngs or has experience in 2 fields. If there's reason to
believe that his information is bad, then argue from there.

Don't forget about the stuff that was on the edge of being rude,
although it did help get a better feel for some of the personal
experiences of some people though.

I hear this a lot but it's just not true.

Yes it is- the vast majority of consumers will just buy consumer grade
cheapo monitors. I could have qualified my statement by saying '0.01% of
people still buy high end CRT monitors', but I didn't think it was necessary
in the context of the thread.

There are cheap
CRT monitors of course, but replacing the high quality ones
some of us use is still fairly expensive.

I'm sure they are.That doesn't change the fact that most people will pay
<100UKP for a 17" CRT monitor.

You're just about to catch me on the top-posters list at my old e-mail
address, which has been dead for quite awhile...

Of course it is possible for a person to have expertise in more than
one area...I never could get the mutually-exclusive idea that some
people tend to adopt.

Pay for a monitor? Are you crazy? I have picked up about 65 clean SVGA
monitors in the last year for free. I only received one bad monitor so far. I
have six high end CAD monitors that I don't have video boards for. Very few are
the "El Cheapo" types.

I envy you! ;-) I thought 40 quid for a 20" Sony 300SF was a bargain! Mind,
that was about four years ago so I guess it was.

Just let people know that you want monitors and old computers.
You'll get a lot of them from people upgrading their equipment I picked
up two computers, three monitors, and three printers today, along with a
wad of cables, keyboards and mice and today was a slow day.
