Poll of the Day > I'm so happy that I did not mess my crt up

(+) Yeah! (+)

I laid my headphones on it while they were playing music. Luckily my nine inch friend seems to be okay :)

are headphones shielded?

Fucking piss easy mom joke ripe for the picking but here I am on the verge of being banned c'est la vie

Even if you do cause image problems, most CRT displays have a degaussing option somewhere that will remove the kind of magnetic interference you're likely to encounter in your everyday life. I wouldn't recommend sticking a CRT in an MRI, but you'd have to really try to cause permanent damage to one at home.

If you're talking about magnetism, I doubt headphone magnets are nearly powerful enough to mess up a CRT. I'm not even 100% on if bigger magnets do immediate permanent damage, I just thought they scrambled the picture while attached.

Why are you holding on to a 9 inch CRT is the real question, even back when they were standard that was a horribly small screen

I dont have room for a bigger one. I have an lg c1 too but I use my mini crt for retro it looks good which surprised me.

I have a Superman crt with s-video but it only displays black and white

I put a magnet near my crt PC monitor when I was like 13 and was freaking out because I broke it so I posted to CE about it and I still remember the one reply. "DEGAUSS"

Then I became a brat since I could make the screen trippy and erase it. I imagine this is terrible for the life of the monitor. But oh well
