[SOLVED] CRT High Pitch Noise

It was jest at your expense, humor in the extreme to make the point that you are making "much ado about nothing." Sometimes it makes it's point to the butt of the joke but often it just gives others a chuckle.

And as for the thread being done, they can see it is marked solved so they know the original poster is satisfied, but threads are often continued by persons who did not start the discussion because they have more questions, suggestions or thoughts on the matter. I could close the thread and that would limit the replies but you asked to have it left open so, MJOLNIR, you should not feel any obligation to reply to any of these posts now that it is solved.

Yes, Mychael, I'm aware of what you're saying.

However, I apologize again - it was not appropriate in the "technical" forums.

Then show us! Teach us! Post your findings! Show where OSHA, the FDA, CDC, New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, or ANY health and safety related organization has reported CRTs emit harmful radiation. Just one!

Oh? Did they stop glowing? Did their cancers go away? Are they experts? Or just people trying to rationalize being conned out of their money on a gimmick? Got a link to a real review site or testing laboratory?

Think about this for a second. X-rays are invisible. How would they know these so called anti-radiation filters worked? They wouldn't so OBVIOUSLY those reviewers did not know what they were talking about, or more likely the reviewers were the scam artists trying to pump up sales - a COMMON PROBLEM with "user reviews" even on sites like Newegg, Amazon, and TigerDirect.

I think your obsession, and that's what it "appears" to be (I'm not a shrink), is totally unfounded and there has been much evidence presented here to show that your fears are unfounded. But clearly, you don't want to believe us, the FDA, or any other source we have provided. You have provided nothing to support your fears, yet you persist. So in my opinion, you are just wasting everyone's time.

So here is my last bit of advice: Take all the CRT monitors and TVs in your house and donate them to the Salvation Army or Disabled Vets, or take them to your local electronics recycling center. Do NOT toss them in the trash; the landfills glow enough at night already.

Then go buy new LCD TVs and monitors. They don't emit any radiation, they don't use extremely high voltages, and they don't have flyback transformers that emit high-pitched noises.

Then avoid cell phones and cell towers and high-voltage transmission lines, microwave ovens, wireless keyboards and mice, and the sun. And don't wear a watch. Most use radioactive isotopes, typically tritium or promethium, to make them glow at night.

TL;DR

As for me using Google, I already pointed out there were contradicting sources and I never implied CRT radiation was serious. In fact I've been pointing out the whole time that it was pretty much negligible (supposing one isn't using one for extended periods of time and being up-close, which isn't the case for me) and I just didn't want to be exposed to even small radiation coming from a really old CRT monitor that's been falling apart since the last year or two. Heck on windows7forums someone mentioned a safety regulation started post '98. This monitor was even before that so I wasn't sure if it was good to use for the ridiculous amount of time I was planning to spend on it. Bringing up other kinds of radiation one normally gets exposed to is moot since the idea is to get as least exposed as possible. I wasn't going to use the monitor an hour a day. I was going to use it half the day. We aren't eating at restaraunts and getting x-rays for half the day are we?

Look, your lengthening a dead discussion which pretty much already served its purpose. Stop acting like I don't know s*** simply because you're miscomprehending what I type.

As does anyone else who's nothing to discuss or questions to bring up. Digerati's pretty much trolling as we speak.

Digerati stated his feelings and even apologized. It took you 5 days to reply to him so he is not trolling now, you are. You could not just let it go. The thread is solved and has been going down ever since.

I'm afraid your earlier request to leave it open will now be denied. Closed.
