Do CRTs die a slow death ??

Thanks for the reply AC.

Yup. They also emit smoke and sometimes flame. Hopefully your monitor will just "fade away".

Should you change to a LCD be prepared for a big difference. Good time to start profiling the monitor if you haven't already.

Happy monitor hunting!

That smoke usually comes with a frying sound. That's your flyback transformer burning up. I worked at a place where we lost so many terminals to this problem that we starting buying the transformers and replacing them ourselves to save money.
