CRT.... I have noticed lately that when I first fire it up, its a bit blurry till it warms up.
this morning was blurrier than normal, then the image on the screen looked like it was expanding, and then the screen went dark.. power cycled, same thing... after about 4 times, it came on and stayed on, and so far has been on for the rest of the day, so it isn't dead yet, but it is showing symptoms.

I can't complain too much, its a 19" flat screen CRT that I bought almost 8 years ago, paid $190 for it new, and has been a fantastic monitor, so it doesn't owe me a thing, but the timing could be a little better, I'd like to make it through one month without having to fix or replace something.....
